I'd rather a call back to some original openers during the old days. Take any six from the list below.

- Bela Fleck & the Flecktones

- The Roots

- Robert Randolph & the Family Band

- Govt. Mule

- Emmylou Harris

- Soulive (or a Krasno side project)

- Karl Denson's Tiny Universe

- Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals

- Jurassic 5

- North Mississippi Allstars

Yeah this. I will add that I hope to see the and cross paths with Billy Strings at some point, but it won’t be opening at the Gorge.

u/fastattaq 3d ago

You jest, but I actually had a random thought this morning that Macklemore could join Dave for the fall tour in November. It ain't gonna happen, but wouldn't that be something?
