A few acts not to miss:
MY MORNING JACKET! They are arguably the best live band right now. They're not touring much this year, but if you have the opportunity, I beg you to see this band live. They will melt your face off.
Michael Franti and Spearhead. Simply awesome performer, great songs, and spot on musicianship. A fun concert. At this year's Bonnaroo he even led us all in a sing along to the Sesame Street theme. Even the most jaded hipster was singing along with a smile on their face.
Tea Leaf Green. These guys really bring the goods live. Prime live cuts: "Sex in the '70s" & "Taught to be Proud"
Greg Brown. The best folk singer nobody's ever heard of. He brings you in with his voice and storytelling. Prime live cut: "Canned Goods."
Railroad Earth. Bluegrass with a back beat and a Grateful Dead heart. Great live band.
I mentioned My Morning Jacket, right?
