Telluride Bluegrass Fest

Just wanted to give a quick shout out to the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. I'm a big fan of traditional music - whether it be folk, bluegrass, Americana, etc. The Telluride Fest represents it all and more. This year's line-up looks be pretty damn awesome to boot. Check it out....

* Barenaked Ladies * Sam Bush Band * Bonnie Raitt * John Prine * Tim O'Brien Band * Del McCoury Band * Bela Fleck & the Flecktones * Nickel Creek * Yonder Mountain String Band * Peter Rowan * Neko Case * Missy Higgins * Shawn Camp * John Cowan * Jerry Douglas Band * Edgar Meyer* Drive-By Truckers* Stephen Kellogg & The Sixers * The Badly Ben*

Definitely a great mix of both the traditional with the not quite so traditional.

Early bird tickets are available till January 27th.


Here's a set from Gillian Welch from last year's fest (if you don't know her or haven't heard her live I seriously suggest grabbing this - she's amazing)....
