I would love to see Deer Tick perform with them or better yet John J. McCauley III of Deer Tick, Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes, and Matt Vasquez of Delta Spirit a.k.a. Middle Brother should get together and do a summer tour with them.

Sean Hayes would be awesome, or The Steep Canyon Rangers w/ Steve Martin. Or how about a seasoned musician like Jim Avett !?!

I would kill for TBT to be their opener. I also like River Whyless (saw them live and they were great--the violin player kicks a**). I'd also love to see The Honeycutters--another NC-based band with a fantastic female lead singer. They also record at Echo Mountain and I keep hoping TAB will discover them.

At least no one's suggested Mumford yet. YET.

I think the Avett Brothers should open for Mumford and Sons. It would help their career to open for a big group like Mumford...

TBT or Middle Brother

A guy can dream, can't he?

we get it already. a lot of you out there don't like mumford. but do you have to find every opportunity to voice it on these boards? I'm a huge TAB AND mumford fan. I've seen both in concert numerous times and they are both great but way way greater live.The mumford & sons guys are also HUGE fans of TAB and have openly expressed how much they adore them (last time i went to a concert marcus said in the concert that they were going to play a song by one of their favorite bands ever-TAB). They're both VERY different and they both love and appreciate what the others are doing. You don't have to like them both and it doesn't make you any less loyal if you do, but it's not a rivalry so I don't see why each sides' fans sometimes like to make it one. *sad sigh*
To answer the question though I'd like to see the sleepy man banjo boys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKofhkgk7h8

I like MaS. they just come up, somehow or another, with vehement opinions expressed, a LOT. it just gets awfully repetitive, no?
I don't know about y'all, but I can't tell whether anyone else on this thread likes them or not. well, rr likes them. so do I.

another vote for TbT. They definitely have a strong fanbase, they're a great fit, and I think both bands would benefit from the mutual exposure.

but devil makes three is a great suggestion

I'm not sure it would work, but I too love Amos Lee.

Good Old War

I'd love to see The David Wax Museum, Middle Brother and the Avetts on the same bill....

I'm gonna have to throw a vote in for Slayer, too.

And then I'll vote my heart: Pokey LaFarge & The South City Three
Here's their NPR Tiny Desk Concert if you're unfamiliar with them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seKAfbWFWCM

Would also like to see The Civil Wars: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd7dS6s7kJc

Good call on Shovels & Rope! Cary Ann Hearst's solo stuff is also good. Cool Waylon cover:

Blind Pilot

Can two shows where each opened for the other be called a tour?

Langhorne Slim or G Love.

Trampled By Turtles would be a solid choice but then if we lived in dreamland it would be TAB and Ben Harper alternating opening slots.

Langhorne Slim, Todd Snider, Holy Ghost Tent Revival, Old Crow Medicine Show, American Aquarium, Trampled By Turtles,

i think The Head And The Heart would be an awesome opening! Their harmonies are amazing.....but i'd love to see Trampled by Turtles or HGTR too.

The Low Anthem
Deer Tick
TBT
The Head and The Heart
River City Extension

Any of those would be awesome!
