Other than the headliners, <strong>who are you most looking forward to?</strong> My short list would be Chamberlin, Fitz and the Tantrums, Maryse Smith and the Rosesmiths and the always excellent Anais Mitchell and the Hadestown Orchestra. My sentimental favorite here is Maryse - unique and individual, hope you can catch her.

Read on for videos and more  . . .
