I'll reserve judgement till the TBA is announced...which is when, AC Entertainment?

I've heard rumors which I'd like full-filled.

I am SO excited about Sundown this year! That's the best lineup I've seen in the last five years, in my opinion. The only thing I wish is that Cizizen Cope would come another week because June 12th is the first day of Bonnaroo. I'll be in Manchester! The same thing happened last year with John Butler (before he cancelled). Why put the biggest best show that week of all weeks?!?! MAN, I really want to see Citizen Cope! =)

AC Entertainment books and produces Sundown in the City, so that's who "makes the decision on bands." The amount of the city's cash contribution has gone down over the years intentionally, the goal being that the series is eventually sustained by other means, including corporate sponsors. I'm glad you think the city should support Sundown with more money, but as a taxpayer, I'm not sure I'd like too many more of my tax dollars going toward a 12-week music series. Any festival planner has to keep a budget in mind in order to be sustainable from year to year. And I'm definitely in favor of paying musicians a fair wage to play!

I agree... it should be a series that is sustained by local businesses. I'd rather my taxes are used to help the schools, pave roads, etc. As for the lineup... I think it's great! Marc, Cope, Wild Magnolias, Galactic, Josh, N. MS Allstars, Pres of the USA... pretty sweet!!! Looking forward to almost single every show!!!

i'm pretty pumped about the lineup. what's not to like?

must say I'm really happy that Jeff Coffin's gonna be w/ Mitch Rutman cause he should jam w/ UM too! Don't know if anyone remembers Umphrey's @ the Bijou but he went off on that horn, it was GREAT! Can't wait to see what happens next Thurs.!
