anyone hear anything about museum performances this year yet? i enjoyed getting out of the sun for some of joe pug's podcast last year. two other highlights from the museum last year were christopher paul stelling bringing the house down with horse (as he tends to do) and then tall heights was great in there, too.
saw aaron lee tasjan with about 20-30 people at mercury lounge in the storm friday night. he was amazing, as expected, playing solo with a mix of new tunes. i doubt anyone expected him back consecutive years, which he confirmed when i met him after the show. super nice guy tho and the new songs are solid.
anyone else check out new Mt Joy record? feels a bit more on the generic/lumineers/train side than i was hoping but it's a decent listen.
ready for some more announcments, good start today with phoebe but im hoping we get something big and exciting this week.
great scoop, he absolutely brought the fort down last year. will definitely be at his set again.

I may be having some sort of deja vu / false memory, but I seemingly remember asking about Passenger on either Facebook or Twitter a few years back (or maybe a Reddit AMA), and NFF responded that they had not inquired but believed he would be too expensive to book. I wonder if I’m partially responsible for this glorious booking (that a few of you hate).
Kind of also mad I didn’t push harder for Manu Chao and Kacey Musgraves this year on social media.

I really enjoyed the new Mt. Joy record, some solid stuff on there. Also really appreciated that they created new mixes/recordings for all the songs they released as singles. Cleaned them up a little bit.
First show was 2013, and well remember musicians pulling out acoustics and stating, this is still a folk festival you know. Seems to be c coming back this year. That was the year the sun came out of the dark sky as Mavis Staples lit up Sunday evening, and may still be my most memorable moment. Also attended Newport Jazz but when it was in NY back in the 70's. Remember seeing George Wein jamming on piano!
But despite my occasional complaints this year about too many "B" performers some new bands (for me) in the earlier days really stick out: Langhorne Slim and the Oh Hellos at the Quad. Hozier at the Harbor. The Decembrists. And James Taylor was a special moment. Patty Smith brought back my days at CBGB's, and catching folks likeThe Suffers at the Late July tent was special.
By now I am usually glowing from at least one or two acts that rationalize all the bucks we spend on tix, lodging and food. This is the first year in five that I'm thinking, so where have they spent the budget? Love some of the New acts (for me). Some I can see for a fraction in NY and Brooklyn. I know there's more to come, and love surprises (Kris Kristofferson!) -- just tell me there will be some. Not feeling the vibe yet.
In the meantime, always the second cousin with a lower budget, I see Pete Seeger's Hudson River Revival has just add Langhorne, Margaret Glaspy, War and Treaty, to Wilco, Rhiannon Giddens,Choir!Choir!, River Whyless, etc.
Good onen for NFF? Since 2013 I have never been let down. Just need a little more sizzle for my taste. And perhaps a few of the old greats? Catching Joan Baez in September at The Beacon Theater.
Just remember we have less than a third of the lineup so far. Most of the artists announced so far would likely be in the bottom half if they were still billing in order.
My guess is that they're intentionally putting a focus on smaller/newer names
op336 who are some names you're hoping for this year that would have you glowing? I get where you're coming from because Fleet Foxes was that for me last year and there's definitely no equivalent for me so far.
Just curious what names would "wow" those of you who are a little underwhelmed
