Talk about something way up on my list of life to-do’s, the Telluride Bluegrass Festival is something that I’ve only wanted to attend as of recently. I’ve never been this huge fan of the bluegrassy side of jambands so I’ve never put too much thought into attending that festival…
I had some family members attend with a huge RV caravan of people and they had nothing but amazing words for how amazing the festival was. That’s the best kind of recommendation, especially as I trust their opinion and their taste for wall art (as they proudly display a framed Telluride Bluegrass Festival poster in their living room).
Ever since, I’ve known that this would be a great festival to attend and I’m hoping on making it on there sometime in the next few years. They’re on their 33rd festival this year, so they’ll just have to keep that tradition alive until I make it…
Full festival and lineup after the jump, and it looks like a real doozy: Yonder Moutain String Band, Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, Nickel Creek, Drive-By Truckers, Neko Case, and John Prine even. Nice.
