jp11801 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 ah sad not to be in NorCal as this is a great show and very walk up friendly. If you are in the area it is not to be missed
ironbut Posted September 22, 2011 Report Posted September 22, 2011 I'll be there Saturday,.. maybe Sunday.
blessingx Posted September 22, 2011 Report Posted September 22, 2011 I don't know most of those weird sounding bands, but I'm a House fan. Attendance still unknown.
swt61 Posted September 22, 2011 Report Posted September 22, 2011 Wow! What a line-up. Really sad to miss this one.
acidbasement Posted September 22, 2011 Report Posted September 22, 2011 Oh my, I'd love to attend that fest. If time permitted, I'd travel serious distance just to see Béla Fleck perform with Edgar Meyer and Zakir Hussain. Winter is coming and time is precious, however.
VPI Posted September 22, 2011 Report Posted September 22, 2011 Man, that line up is almost my complete Spotify play list. I can't imagine coming up with a reason to be out there for this, but I will be contemplating schemes.
Voltron Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) All that talent and all for free! It's a great event, so scheme away Jeff! Oh my, I'd love to attend that fest. If time permitted, I'd travel serious distance just to see Béla Fleck perform with Edgar Meyer and Zakir Hussain. Winter is coming and time is precious, however. I am glad Bella is not appearing with the Flecktones because I have seen them before and would like to see a different side of him. I have seen Zakir Hussain in a couple of different settings but this one will be quite different. I don't think I have ever seen Edgar Meyer but if you like him he must be a cool bassist. Edited September 22, 2011 by Voltron
acidbasement Posted September 22, 2011 Report Posted September 22, 2011 As far as I know Edgar Meyer is considered the best double bassist in the world. He's one of the only classical guys of whom I'm aware who can improvise like a jazzer. I've seen him a number of times at Telluride Bluegrass with Béla and others, but never with Zakir. He's an astonishing talent; you're in for a treat.
swt61 Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 Man, that line up is almost my complete Spotify play list. I can't imagine coming up with a reason to be out there for this, but I will be contemplating schemes. Uhm let's see, How 'bout get to know construction contractors to see how they may tie into the security business. May I suggest a contractor?
jvlgato Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 I saw Edgar Meyer play with Chris Thile in a very small local university venue here a few years ago. Very nice concert - Thile is just an incredible mandolin player, and Meyer pretty much kept up with him musically ... maybe not in stage presence and personality, but musically he did.
Voltron Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Posted October 1, 2011 At theRooster Stage today, curated by Conor Oberst. Kurt Vile followed by Felice Brothers followed by M Ward followed by Bright Eyes coming up next. Pretty sweet.
