So here is the 2014 line-up split up into groups of genres. Next to each act, I noted sub-genres or cross-genres that could apply to the act. I also included links to YouTube videos so that listening is just a click away. Eventually, I'll gather up all the inforoo threads for each artist and link them here as well.
Like last year, I probably messed up on a few. Feel free to make suggestions for changes and I'll update the OP. I also plan on updating the OP if any more artist are added.

@cory's beard, first of all, you're a hero for putting this together. second of all, your avatar is beyond brilliant. third of all, i think Ty Segall is missing from this.
I'd move yonder Mountain String Band and Tedeschi Trucks band into the jam category.
Would you consider Yonder Mountain more jam than bluegrass or more bluegrass than jam?
I'd consider them to be more jam, but either category would work. I would add jam to their subcategory if you leave them in the bluegrass category, though.

I say keep as is. They tour on the jam circuit, but I wouldn't call them a jam band.

Since I'm not super familiar with them outside of what I listened to on YouTube, I went the safe route and noted "jam circuit regular." What I heard definitely made me think more along the lines of bluegrass than anything.
