Great lineup this year. OCMS, Railroad Earth, Sam Bush, Allison Krauss, Infamous Stringdusters, Molly Tuttle and others. Not cheap, but might be worth it.

In addition to OCMS getting their start in Boone, some guy on my hall in Cone 7th floor in 96-97 played with Railroad Earth, not sure if still with them or not.

Blackberry Smoke!!!!

Used to go to Merlefest all the time. Loved it and still love Blue Grass First Class in Asheville. Sometimes it was hot, hot, hot in Wilkesboro (weather, I’m talking about). That’s a great lineup. May have to go back.
