THURSDAY: Hayes Carll, Freelance Whales, Best Coast, Sleigh Bells & Deerhunter FRIDAY: Jessica Lea Mayfield, Bela Fleck & the Flecktones (the original lineup), Freelance Whales, the Decemberists, (and I would be in two places at once to also see Ray Lamontange), Florence + the Machine, Primus, Arcade Fire, and to cap off the night Big Boi! SATUDAY : the Low Anthem, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Portugal the Man, Mumford & Sons, the Black Keys, Buffalo Springfield, Eminem, Scissor Sisters **EDITOR NOTE** how effing cool is it that A.

I've been trying to listen to more of Jessica Lea Mayfield, but so far I'm running low on exposure. The track shown here is fantastic! For more info on this up and comer, check out her page http://www.jessicaleamayfield.com/tour/.  She's playing some awesome venues on her way to Bonnaroo. Be sure to see her now, in a small venue before she starts to take off. She's received press from Vogue and featured on both the iTunes SXSW sampler and Spin Magazine. Enjoy!

If I didn't have that old, job, family & responsibility thing. I'd be down in Austin this weekend for the South by SouthWest festival.  But since I do, I'll settle for a free sampler.   Follow this link to download this for your self at iTunes. EDITOR NOTE: THE OFFER HAS SINCE EXPIRED!! Enjoy!
