barbkm Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I'd be more inclined to go if they had single day passes. It is about 2 hours away, but not sure I want to spend all that dough for a 90 minute set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is about 2 hours away, but not sure I want to spend all that dough for a 90 minute set. That's how I feel. I'm less than an hour away but am not really interested in this festival and have never gone to it. A friend who works a food booth at the festival told me that they offer single day passes but I couldn't find any listed. Maybe they hold off on that until the event gets closer. I'm not sure.

dagwave Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 they do offer single day - but later. I went the first time on a lark, and ended up having a fantastic time! Newgrass/ bluegrass/ folk and Americana. Plus not so big. My full blown 50k+ festival days are loooong gone! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RaspberryJam Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Mavis Staples was just announced for Newport. Is it too early for me to start hoping for a Jeff Tweedy announcement? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A heart I know by heart Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Do we know what day of Mountain Jam Jeff is playing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 So I googled "Wilco Bluegrass' and actually found a record made by some band and/ or complilation on Amazon called "Pickin' on Wilco" from 2004, Cheap, I only listened to some samples.I have that CD. Some of the worst banjo playing in the history of bluegrass music. This is a fairly mediocre album in general. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
linclink Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Do we know what day of Mountain Jam Jeff is playing?I wondering about that myself...I love Derek Trucks & The Tedesci-Trucks Band being there was the next most interesting thing to me...now that Derek Trucks factor has doubled as The Allman Brothers have been added as a headliner & they are playing both "Idlewild South" & "The Allman Brothers Band" (their first two albums) in their entirety. This ups the ante a-plenty for me. I just hope that Jeff solo & Tedesci-Trucks Bnad get long sets, and/or headliner status. My other hope is that if Bob Weir drops in for anything on Jeff's set, then maybe Jeff would do do one with Ratdog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RaspberryJam Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Ugh. I thought getting a room at Solid Sound was hard. A crappy 2 bedroom place for $350 a night is best I can get! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RaspberryJam Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I did finally find a place right on Main St, the whole upstairs apartment. Not too expensive. The lady renting it said they still haven't rented out the downstairs yet, so if anyone is looking for a place, let me know, I can get you in touch with her. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-seven Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Already have. You could try looking in the Woodstock or Saugerties area or Phoenicia even. They are a bit of a commute but there are many airbnb listings in those areas that I'm sure wouldn't be booked up yet. They are fun towns to visit and have better restaurants, etc. than the Hunter area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I lived in the yellow house next to the Pink House.I have a vague recollection of that house, but pretty much my entire New Paltz experience can now be classified as a "vague recollection." Was just there last Friday; had a good lunch at the Main Street Bistro and almost stopped in to buy a bong at Kon-Tiki. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
