The Milk Carton Kids

Nickel Creek

Noam Pikelny and Stuart Duncan

Dawes and Conor Oberst

Cactus Blossoms

Carolina Chocolate Drops

Gillian Welch
Nickel Creek, Emmylou Harris, Parker Millsap - Taste of Chicago
Jeff Tweedy - Taste of Chicago

Also considering going to the Mile of Music festival in Appleton WI, which is so far featuring the Autumn Defense, the Baseball Project, and the Milk Carton Kids.  I went last year to see Justin Townes Earle and ended up having a blast.

Parker Millsap 

 

 

I'll be seeing him open for Patty Griffin next month.  I have heard just a taste of his music and it was a little too Brian Setzer or something, for me..  How was his show?

Drive-By Truckers at Tampa Theatre early next month

Paul McCartney a few weeks after that

Haven't seen him yet, but he has been on my list for a while. He'll just be an extra bonus at the Nickel Creek show at Taste of Chicago this summer. This is the one of his that I really like (quite impressive for a youngster):

 

I'm jealous that you get to see Patty Griffin!  What a great songwriter and passionate performer she is.

Cool, I'll have to check out that tune later when I have audio.

 

Yeah, stoked to finally be seeing Patty.  It's a great venue too, smaller place (Neighborhood theatre in Charlotte).  She's one of my all time favorite female vocalists, and a hell of a songwriter.
