DevO Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 What's it like to volunteer for Bluesfest? Would anyone recommend it? I'm sort of considering doing this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeker Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Ahess is the man to ask for sure. I've been thinking of doing it this year too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 There's a few mentions in this article from Canoe from earlier this month, nothing confirmed till the lineup gets posted but some are at least 75% (Oh, and Velvet I owe you an apology for the ZZ Top thing):1. Big Summer Classic2. William Shatner3. ZZ Top w/the New York Dolls4. Percy Sledge w/The Hammerheads5. K-OS6. The Neville brothersAs for volunteering KevO I would recommend it if you can do the six shifts needed for access to all of bluesfest. If you're interested in working backstage I'd be happy to try and get you in although I'm not a sure thing as of yet (both schedule-wise and because it's so early). My ever-changing guesses for other headliners:1. John mayall and the Bluesbreakers2. Bill Frisell3. Spearhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentlemonkey Posted April 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Willaim Shatner w/Henry Rollins and Ben Folds!!! COOL! polkie, spearhead is already part of bigclassic.. SO, based on pollstar/jambase/articles/ spolierwebsites. it seems the following are already confirmed.... ZZtop, Daniel Lanois, Neville Bros, Umphreys, SCI, Keller Williams, spearhead, k-os, Alison Krauss and Jerry Douglas, Xavier Rudd, Sadies, Harlem Gospel Choir, Shatner W/folds and rollins, New york Dolls.. w/ rumours of Bill Frisell, wilco.... who knows what else. AWESOME!! This is going to be a very eclectic weird-ass festival.. looks unbelievable already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 New York Dolls without Johhny Thunders would be pretty lame I think.He won't be performing with them due to his death 14 years ago last Saturday.AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentlemonkey Posted April 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 i wasnt even going to put them on my list, AD. they sucked then, and im sure they'll suck more now. but i can go hoping they break into Buster POindexter's classic- hot hot hot.

DevO Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 WOW!!!.... Now, why can't I find this line-up on the bluesfest webpage? All I can see is the 2004 line-up. Anyone else having this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 July 11th, I think it was brought up today at work that it was likely PUNK or whatever the kids call it these days. I'm sure most with festival passes won't want to go to that anyways, so they can just sell one day passes to an entirely different crowd that won't even care about the other music during the rest of the fest.that's just a guess...but if they don't do that, they should. MONEY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberdinghy Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 ahhhh...i see!! I'd like to see a little weezer in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 That is some line up! Even you "there's no blues at the bluesfest" folks can be somewhat happy with the selection.And if it's not exciting enough as is there's still a few TBAs....(((((wilco))))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
