Grammy Award winning multi-instrumentalist Sam Bush is alternately known as the King of Telluride and the King of Newgrass. Bush has been honored by the Americana Music Association and the IBMA, and he has helped to expand the horizons of bluegrass music, fusing it with jazz, rock, blues, funk and other styles. He is the co-founder of the genre-bending New Grass Revival and an in-demand musician who has played with everyone from Emmylou Harris and Bela Fleck to Charlie Haden, Lyle Lovett and Garth Brooks, as well as Bill Monroe, Doc Watson, and Earl Scruggs. Though Bush is best known for jaw-dropping skills on the mandolin, he is also Grammy award winning vocalist. His new album, Circles Around Me, features some classic bluegrass numbers and several high-energy jams that Bush has made his trademark sound.

Bearfoot’s rise from incredibly talented music camp counselors in their home state of Alaska to an established national touring band has been meteoric. A crowd favorite, these Telluride Bluegrass Band Champions are often compared to artists like Nickel Creek. Switching easily between airy Northern ballads and back-alley Southern blues, their music is underscored with bluegrass passion. They bring a remarkable breadth of rich, original songs to the stage, and their arrangements are fiery and inventive, with inspiring harmonies tying them together. The group has been received enthusiastically at MerleFest and PineCone’s own 25th Anniversary concert in January, and PineCone is thrilled to have them grace our stage again this season.

Rising bluegrass stars Dailey & Vincent return to the PineCone stage with a broader repertoire and new accolades! The International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) has recognized Dailey & Vincent as Entertainers of the Year two years running. In 2008, they earned an unprecedented seven IBMA Awards, including Entertainer of the Year. Both Dailey and Vincent have been bluegrass musicians throughout their careers, and they never depart from that core sensibility in their music. But, like the earliest icons, they also push the envelope. From a tribute album to the Statler Brothers to their new a cappella gospel CD Singing from the Heart, Dailey & Vincent seamlessly blend traditional and contemporary bluegrass traditions in their toe-tapping, crowd pleasing performances.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear Tim O’Brien and Bryan Sutton perform as a duo! O’Brien is one of the original members of Hot Rize, a bluegrass band that has made frequent appearances on A Prairie Home Companion – they’ve been in bluegrass for more than 30 years. O’Brien is also known to dig into his Irish roots for a traditional tune, cover Bob Dylan songs and perform his own finely-crafted compositions. Sutton recently joined Hot Rize as their guitarist. From his stellar work with Ricky Skaggs, Bela Fleck and Chris Thile, as well as his own recordings, Sutton is considered the day’s premiere bluegrass guitarist.

For more than half a century, Arthel “Doc” Watson has been a force in the creation, interpretation and preservation of American roots music. This year, he returns to the PineCone stage with his long-time friend and collaborator David Holt and his grandson Richard Watson to present Hills of Home, which combines hot flat-picking tunes, slow romantic ballads, gutsy blues numbers, delicately picked finger melodies and old-time gospel songs into an unforgettable evening of music.
