Newport Fest was a ton of fun and I'll encourage everyone to get out next year.
Till then, here's a sampling of the bands who played there this year.

A blog for bluegrass fans to talk about bluegrass or whatever and to check up on the Java Brothers Bluegrass Band from Radford, Virginia. We are progressive, but pretty much only to the extent that we'll play new songs as hard driving bluegrass. We love Bill Monroe, the Stanley Brothers, The Seldom Scene, JD Crowe, Tony Rice, Sam Bush, the Country Gentlemen, the Beatles, the Stones, and all the greats.

Good video. Not surprised at the abundance of groove rock.
There was a mandolin player in there who looked familiar. Who could it be ... can't think ... I wonder ... oh yeah, I know him!
Glen Skaggs.
I think that's Glenny Scaggs.
I didn't realize he was so buff.
I thought I saw both Ricky Scaggs and Glen Skaggs --- Ricky sat in with the Jug Busters and Glen was playing with somthin, somthin "Express" band with our buddy Brian Cox from Snowville on the banjo.
I was actually kidding. I was talking about another mando player I recognized.
JBs should be there next year.
I liked Clover Hollow. The covered one of the tunes from that Mark Knopfler/Emmylou Harris album. One of my faves.
