January 27, 201511 yr Author With as many solid acts as they already have listed, I'm pretty excited that the Forecastle promoters have already put out advertising establishing that this is the "first wave of artists". The idea of a "second wave" like this is pretty exciting.
January 27, 201511 yr I'm most interested in MMJ, St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Sturgill Simpson and Widespread Panic. To a lesser degree, I'm also in on Houndmouth, Cage The Elephant, Lone Bellow. I'm curious about the Tweedy project, but I have seen Wilco a half-dozen times. I've seen OTR a good dozen times, but not in many, many years.
January 27, 201511 yr I've seen OTR a good dozen times, but not in many, many years. Just saw OTR last weekend. Part of a larger group of guest musicians performing with the Cincinnati Pops. First time to Music Hall in probably almost a decade. I'd give my right arm for Louisville to have a music venue like that.

January 27, 201511 yr I've honestly never even attempted to listen to Widespread Panic. Not sure where to start. Are they kind of a jam band? Yeah, they would qualify as such, with a bit of a southern rock twinge. This is one of their better-known songs: [video=youtube_share;IQlTn1QVQls]http://youtu.be/IQlTn1QVQls
January 27, 201511 yr This is one of my favorite Widespread Panic tunes: [video=youtube_share;FwRdNpyCVdk]

January 27, 201511 yr Author I'll be honest, nothing on there is saying "have to go" to me. Ever listen to Tallest Man On Earth? He's a Swedish guy who spends most of his time over in Europe. He'd be REALLY tough for me to pass on. Granted, that doesn't necessarily equal "weekend pass", but he's damn good. I'll bet you I'd pay $70 for a chance to see him just on his own.
January 27, 201511 yr Author [ATTACH=CONFIG]48653[/ATTACH] 1) "We followed the ants..." - Is that a Dave Matthews Band reference (" ")? 2) "...until we came to the chateâu..." - Is that a Father John Misty reference (" ")? Could that be a single hint being dropped for two bands? Assuming this isn't an artist to be announced later, DMB and Father John Misty were not correct. I'm wondering who in the world that was supposed to be.
January 27, 201511 yr Author They said this is their last hint before the lineup drops tomorrow: [ATTACH=CONFIG]48782[/ATTACH] I'm not 100% sure at this point based on all the hints, but the "world without end" bit of the hint leads me to believe it's either AA Bondy or The Boxer Rebellion, who both have songs by that title. Neither band currently has any tour dates listed on their website, but The Boxer Rebellion does have an album coming out in March, so a follow-up tour for the spring and summer would seem to make sense. This turned out to be Tweedy. A Jeff Tweedy side project with his son, Spencer. It's a hint to his song "Nobody Dies Anymore" which contains the lyric "When she was the daughter of a world without end they told her I was stolen she couldn't comprehend".
January 29, 201511 yr Author St Paul and the Broken Bones will be at Forecastle. Yup. They're a great act to have in a summer festival lineup.
January 29, 201511 yr Yup. They're a great act to have in a summer festival lineup. How many "Huh, I thought that guy was black" will be uttered?
