Who else is bringing their instruments trying to get some good ole pickin' circles going late into the night. I know I am. Bringin my mandolin and guitar and I'm looking to pick with some fine folks till the sun comes up. Anyone else bringing their instruments of choice? If so what are you bringing and what kind of music do you enjoy playing. Can't wait to meet everyone and learn as much as possible. See y'all at Lockn'!

I'm bringing my acoustic. I was hoping to meet some cool folks to jam with. Glad I'm not alone.

I play banjo, but I never learned to pick. I strum a lot of Dead and folk-rock, but also some 80's alternative, which I find hilarious.
My wife plays guitar and piano and has a degree in music, so she sounds a lot better than me.
Always up for a pickin party!

I am bringing my acoustic guitar and can play really well. I'll be in the car camping area playing all night long!

That crossed my mind as well. A couple of friends of mine found an EZ-up in a dumpster that only needed light repair.i totally thought this thread was going to be about the fine art of scavenging through all the leftovers that people leave, lol. found a pretty nice glass bowl last year. you can find tents and chairs and all sorts of stuff. it's amazing
I also found a nice glass piece one time, and once when I was hitchhiking to a show in Pittsburgh I found a Proto Pipe on the side of the road. It was packed and only partially burned. Guess someone was NERVOUS. Score!

I play bass, and have 2 acoustic basses, but won't be bringing either. I hate leaving my instruments in a hot car for 4 days, and also, acoustic basses just don't project well outside with multiple guitars, mandos, etc.

Maybe you should build a washtub bass just for occasions such as these!

I have hopes that some touring bluegrass and jambands will actually set up some guerrilla late night sets in the campgrounds, maybe even flier around for them early in the day so folks know where they will be. I could be wrong, but it seems like a good way for some samller bands to get some exposure, and it definitely isnt a new approach.
Stoked for the late night rambling. At most fests I have to take my wife back to camp after the headliners are over around 12 or 1 before I head out into the crazy night anyway, now its going to be campground partys all night,
should be an interesting time, not many fests are sans latenights, Its up to us to make things happen!

glad to see lots of people will be coming out prepared. I too play a lot of dead songs and have recently been getting my bluegrass chops up to par. Hope to share some knowledge and learn something from all you guys. My camp will be in the tent area but I'll be sure to be wandering around everywhere after the shows looking for some fun. We're definitely gonna make some funs things happen late night. And I'd love to see some late night acoustic sets in the campground to keep things going.

Didn't want to subject my real guitar to a festival, but I brushed off my old college guitar and re-strung it. I'm ready to play!

Mrs. Devil and I will be toting along our djembes. If a conclave of drummers doesn't appear, I have a mute of sorts to lay over the head---fits in much better with acoustic instruments.

I will be bringing my acoustic. I can strum on a good number of dead tunes. Look forward to learning from you all and meeting you. I will be in tent and car camping. Look to jam late morning and late late night!

The wheel is turning and you can't slow down,
You can't let go and you can't hold on,
You can't go back and you can't stand still,
If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will.

I'll be bringing a banjo along, which I play both clawhammer style and my own modified 3 finger style on. I play a whole gamut of songs, from Dead, to old-time, to 80's rock, etc. I don't think leaving it in the car will be an issue, the forecasted high temperature is between 75 - 84 or so each day.

I'm a plectrum strummer, myself. You don't happen to hail from anywhere near Central PA, do you? I have a five-string as well and I sure could use some clawhammer and three finger lessons.I'll be bringing a banjo along, which I play both clawhammer style and my own modified 3 finger style on.

There's barely room for my plectrum (actually a modified five-string), much less the 5. Thanks, though!Nah I'm headed out there from Richmond. I've only been playing for about 3 years but I can show ya what I know!
