Featuring:
Sam Bush (Playing the Bluegrass Ball in the Missouri Ballroom, Friday 7:00pm) - Grammy Award winning multi-instrumentalist Sam Bush is alternately known as the King of Telluride and the King of Newgrass. He’s been honored by the Americana Music Association and the International Bluegrass Music Association.
Emmitt –Nershi Band (Playing The Bluegrass Ball in the Missouri Ballroom, Friday 7:00pm, Ballroom Saturday 10:30pm, and Talus room Sunday 7:00pm) - As linchpins of two legendary jam-bands (Drew with Leftover Salmon, Bill with the String Cheese Incident), Drew Emmitt and Bill Nershi exemplify the forward- thinking modern bluegrass musician.
The Travelin’ McCourys (Playing the Bluegrass Ball, Missouri Ballroom, Friday 7:00pm, and Talus Room, Saturday, 7:00pm) - The sons of bluegrass legend Del McCoury, Ronnie McCoury on mandolin and Rob McCoury on banjo continue their father’s legacy.
Greensky Bluegrass (Playing Whiskey Jack’s Saturday 3:00pm, Whiskey Jack’s Sunday 9:00pm). What makes Greensky different than Bluegrass? Poignant rural ballads about real people? Dobro tone that Jerry (Douglas or Garcia) would love? Distortion Pedals? Grit and attitude from a whiskey soaked card game? Indeed, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Head For the Hills (Playing Whiskey Jack’s Friday 10:30pm, Ballroom Saturday 9:00pm). Rooted in bluegrass tradition, Head for the Hills is a vibrant mixture of homegrown compositions, traditional harmonies, and an innovative approach to improvisation.
Hot Buttered Rum (Whiskey Jack’s Sunday 10:30pm.) The “high altitude bluegrass” era captured on their first studio album found the band enjoying success at Bonnaroo, and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, and sharing the stage with Phil Lesh and Bela Fleck.
