This way Keller and Cheese will be setup on the same stage, making it easy for a K-Dub Incident.
Warren will be ready to go with Warren Haynes Band and have Mules gear ready to roll right behind him.
....and Grass is absolutely my favorite Keller album. He kicked things off doing his solo thing Thursday, the second year of Rothbury. He really had that crowd buzzing with excitement for the weekend. Everybody made it there safely and was ready to let loose. Can't wait to feel that again!

Wow - I didn't think about it like that. Good call!

"My performance at the Jefferson Theater the night before the opening of the festival is what I call my day job," Williams said during a recent telephone interview from his home in Fredericksburg. "That is my straight-up, solo acoustic dance music show.
"I'm really grateful to be opening the music festival with Larry and Jenny Keel. We'll be playing what we call psychedelic Appalachian bluegrass with a light emphasis on the psychedelic.
"I'll be playing mandolin, Larry is on guitar and Jenny plays bass. In 2006, we released the album 'Grass,' and, in 2010, 'Thief.' "
"My idea from the beginning, when I released my first album, 'Freek,' in 1994, was to describe the vibe of the record in one syllable," Williams said. "The short answer to how I describe my music is to call it acoustic dance music.
"The long version is that it's deeply rooted in solo acoustic guitar and singing. And every other song having a backbeat and walking the fine line between solo acoustic and full-on electronic dance music." .
"Basically what [looping] is is a machine that my instruments and microphone are plugged into," Williams said. "I'll step on a button and play or sing something, and at the right moment, I step on the button again and it repeats what I just sang or played.
"I have to step on the button at the right time, or the timing of the loop will be off. Once that initial loop is created, then I can layer on a bass line or drums and percussion. When I started using this technology, I did it simply because I couldn't afford to hire actual humans to play with me.
"It allowed me different avenues to go down musically. What it does is create a full band sound with just me playing. It's amazing fun."
"With a theater gig, you get to go in early, feel the place out, do a sound check and dial in the tones you need," Williams said. "A festival is very much set up and go -- run and gun.
"And at a regular performance, people are paying to see you, whereas at a festival, there will be many people who will be seeing and hearing you for the first time. Both venues are amazing and important.
"To be able to dial it in and get it exactly how you want it at a theater is great, but so is turning people on for the first time at a festival. I know I've been turned onto so many bands and musical acts for the first time at festivals."
"I think the amount of energy that's going into this festival is really going to pay off," Williams said. "It's a real positive thing, and a fantastic use of beautiful land.
"The folks putting this festival on know what not to do and exactly what to do to make it a success. And I think they're really cool in the sense that they're opening each day with a Virginia act."
