Sammy is always great. Nice show this night. The sound of Sammy chopping on his mando and ringing out across the foggy Merlefest night is striking. |

These guys really play some great bluegrass. But when they talk I want to screem. So much weird patriotism and over the top religion. |

I thought he was gonna pass out and fall. But he picked it up and performed hit hits. He only played 30 minutes of his 60 minute set. At least I got to see him |

Better than I expected. Abby was very good when she played banjo duets with Bela. I do not like her goody two shoes persona. Maybe she is being honest, but it kinda bugs me. Her vocals we okay. I have heard a lot of her vocal material in earlier |

This is about the fourth time I've tried to like this band. I have seen them 5-6 times over 15 years and still do not know why they never reach me. Kind of the muzak of bluegrass? |

Really enjoyable and creative performance of material performed by Flat & Scruggs in the late 40's, 50's, & 60's. Performed note for note by contemporaries of the late Earl & Lester. I loved Shawn Camp's Portrial of Lester Flat. “Thank You Very M |

The music was fun. The only surviving member. Doug Grey was overbearing and full of himself. Sam Bush saved their set. These guys were a Marshall Tucker cover band. Wouldn't pay to see them. I would not pay to see them. |

Luther and Cody Dickinson are interesting and play nice electric blues. With Jim Lauderdale they lost their sound and identity. They became a mere backup band. Too bad cause these guys are really good. |

James Nash has changed the band, adding keyboards and losing the great fiddler, Warren Haynes. I think the new sound suits the more rock oriented material James favors. Finally new stuff and it was very good. |

Melody Walker, the lead singer, was great. Her use of the old time banjo clawhammer style groove worked well with her tunes. Nice band with a great future. I'd pay to see them

Interesting band. John Showman is a very good fiddler and the is the center of the show. He is better than the band as a whole. Not quite ready for the next step.

Willie used to be with Old Crow. Now he is an 'official folk singer.' He's okay but I wouldn't pay to see him. He worked so hard at his performance.

I know David is immensely talented, but I can't take his humor and approach to the show. I loved him singing Hartford's 'Tall Buildings.' but the Human women schtick got old right away. My wife loved him?

Great. Ruffles feathers, says what he thinks, and has a great band. He spoke to the donors about wealth and climbed down off of the 8' high stage to shake, howdy, and sing his final tune. I'd pay to see him.

Dwight was very good. He had his ripped jeans and 'nudie' denim jacket. He was what I expected. Maybe a bit louder. than it had to be. Some Bakersfield stuff, but no truckin. Dwight is a pro and it shows. He is also very short!

The band was good. There were some different personel. Andy Goesling from RRE was part of the horns section. David showed the stress of running a music festival without a lot of help. |
