Also on Thursday, will be performances by other recent MerleFest acts Sierra Hull, The Langan Band, Charley Crockett and the ever-present Telluride House Band featuring Sam Bush, Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglas and company.

From the good folks at Planet Bluegrass: “They’re going to do what only those two virtuosos can: blow our little brains with the deftness of their fingers on frets. You can’t miss it! The town allowed us a few additional tickets this year, so it’s still possible for you to make it for the fun. Grab your passes and camping while they’re still available.”
Don’t have the cash for a ticket? Planet Bluegrass is still looking for volunteers to join their cohort, so if you’re interested, please apply! You can find all the necessary info here. And if you really, truly can’t make it, don’t forget to tune into the KOTO live stream. Happy Listening!
