Summer is bluegrass, festivals, and ideally bluegrass festivals. My second Grey Fox yielded some of the highest musical moments of the year, and reminded me why it's important to try and catalogue all of these notes and sounds. There is too much good music happening all the time- it's hard to keep track of all this shit- and at the very least, this thing will serve as a personal reminder of what I've been fortunate enough to hear and see. In no particular order of importance or awesomeness, they follow.

The trio had the (pre)headlining spot on Thursday night and played every song imaginable, including a handful of new material. Unfortunately, coffeewhiskey, and there isn't any video or audio or images.
The Infamous Stringdusters
Covering Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" and Sting's "Walking on the Moon", and ending with a ripping version of "Black Rock". Look no further than this song for evidence that Andy Hall is the definitive dobro master.
Representing Winter Park! It was awesome to see these guys here, and although they are back in Florida now, look for them in a city near you!
Keller Williams & the Travelin' McCourys
Their late-set cover of Modest Mouse's "Float On" flowed into "Freaker"- and it beats out Iron Horse's- making this the unexpected highlight of the set.

I certainly can't provide the most eloquent description of a show, but I can always dig up the audio so you can hear for yourself, which is really much better. See ya next year!
