With a handle like that, I figured you'd be coming from near us. I guess WE ARE everywhere...

Man I forgot about haymaker!  I had a real good time at one of those.

First time, and I'm getting pretty fired-up for Lockn! Even finally added an avatar (sort of); that's a photo I took backstage when Panic closed Bonnaroo in 2011. Unbelievable to have the artists' view of 80,000 happy hippies dancing their asses off! I was there with my son, then 15. My wife agreed to let him come out to the farm just for Sunday. Now he's 18, a huge music fan (and a damn good jam guitarist), and he's gone to Bonnaroo with his own friends (i.e., not with Dad) the past two years. Best I can tell, he stayed out of trouble too.

We've been checking out colleges for him. We live in Nashville but he wants to get to some other part of the country for school. Last September, I took him out to Denver and Boulder, and conveniently we caught Furthur at Red Rocks on Friday and Saturday nights. [Hope it wasn't the last time I see Bobby....] Then at Spring Break we looked at some schools in the Northeast and, lo and behold, managed to catch the Allman Brothers at the Beacon in NY right before that run ended. Now we are headed over to look at UNC on Thursday and UVA on Friday before moseying into Lockn Friday evening.

Name: I'm Steve. My son is Steve also. He's the younger one, but it's hard to tell.

Distance traveling to Lockn': Well, it's not that far from Nashville.

Camping area (or offsite): We're doing Family Camping. Steve III has done GA at Bonnaroo twice, and I've did it a couple of times before taking the plunge (a one-way trip) to VIP at 'roo the last three years, so we're OK with all the craziness of GA camping, but I'm thinking that we can get a little more sleep in Family, and best I can tell it is right next to the venue, which would be pretty sweet.

Most excited for (Thursday): Won't be there until Friday, but love Umph and The Cheese. Seen each multiple times (UM at 'roo twice, at the Ryman, and on the Riverfront in Nashville; SCI at Red Rocks with my daughter and at the Ryman a couple of times).

Most excited for (Friday): Virtually everybody. Actually psyched to see what BK pulls out of his hat. Saw the Grateful Dead in '89 and '95, and (I know this is controversial) I think Jerry would love the idea of mixing up the music with some trippy electronica stuff.

Most excited for (Saturday): Panic! Plus, Steve Winwood is my neighbor (no, I don't know him), so that will be especially cool.

Most excited for (Sunday): Bummer - gotta head home Sunday morning, but at least not early.

Lockn' artists I've seen before: SCI, Umphreys, Wood Brothers, Lettuce, [Grateful Dead and Furthur, but not Phil & Friends], Preservation Hall, Del McCroury (at the Ryman, awesome!), Tedeschi Trucks, Tom Petty, Wilco, Gary Clark, Sam Bush (with String Cheese at the Ryman!), ABB. Basically, almost everyone on the bill! Bonnaroo and living in Nashville will do that to you.

Artist from the undercard I recommend: It's a toss-up, with Chris Robinson a close second behind Bustle in Your Hedgerow. Haven't seen either, though, so it's not really a recommendation.

The one song I absolutely must hear: Dear Mr. Fantasy with Winwood sitting in.

If I could add one artist to Lockn' it would be: My profile says "Jerry," but if I had to choose a living artist, I'd probably say STS9 or Pretty Lights because that shit will blow you away and I gather that some of the Lockn crowd is old like me and might appreciate getting a dose of what the kids are all listening to.

Prior festival experience: Five times at Bonnaroo.

Last concert attended: Three weeks ago I saw Phish in Atlanta on Sunday and Rodrigo y Gabriella at the Ryman on Friday.

Thanks man, my dad introduced me to John Prine when I was about 8 or 9, and to this day I have never seen the man, he would be an awesome addition. Not that him not being there takes away from it, last year was a dream come true with that lineup, but I dare say this year could top it. But I am still not sure anything can top the musicianship that took place in that race track last year

oh man how i wish i could have gone to 'roo when i was 17... they had their first year just a couple months before i turned 19 though. consider yourself lucky

Welcome to the board Charles. You seem to like a good variety of music & a festival vet. Always nice to have more views on topics & this is a great place for info on Lock'. Had a great meetup last year, hope for another this year to catch up with the old & meet the new members.
