DevO 27 Report post Posted April 27, 2005 What's it like to volunteer for Bluesfest? Would anyone recommend it? I'm sort of considering doing this... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AdamH 0 Report post 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gentlemonkey 17 Report post 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AD 29 Report post 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gentlemonkey 17 Report post 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevO 27 Report post 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bouche 106 Report post 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rubberdinghy 3 Report post Posted April 28, 2005 ahhhh...i see!! I'd like to see a little weezer in there! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AdamH 0 Report post 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))))) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
