Bumbershoot 2005
Bumbershoot has announced a partial list of performers this year including:
Ani DiFranco – Son Volt – Tift Merritt – Brazilian Girls – Digable Planets – Flatstock – STREB – The Decemberists – Ted Leo/Pharmacists – DeVotchKa – The Gospel Hummingbirds – 1 Reel Film Festival – Sarah Lee Guthrie & Johnny Irion – Ink Spot – Keren Ann – Billy Preston – The Duke Robillard Band – Billy Joe Shaver – Mavis Staples.
If you haven’t seen DeVotchKa! live, you really must go see them. They are a perfect fit for Bumbershoot. Also of note: Son Volt appears to have rebanded, and it’s always great to see Ani DiFranco, and I’m looking forward to seeing Tift Merritt and Mavis Staples for the first times. Now if they could just get John Doe, I might pee my pants…
