god damn if UM plays some Johnny Paycheck the FOMO will be at an all time high.
I’d bet Jake probably does a pretty good chicken pickin’ like Jerry Reed
I can’t think of anythign i want to see less than um covering a full set worth of classic country
Same
it being terrible is one of the reasons I’d so badly want to see it.
I think honey tonk will play really well at the Ryman
Will the other 3 sets be standard?
“Let Jake country!”
Tbh I have little familiarity with most of these artists. Seems more boring than even a normal all night wrong.
The novelty of UM covers kinda wore off for me somewhere around 75 shows. I used to be so stoked on new covers of tunes/artists that I liked
.
Voted for Red Tape jam vehicle, and dreams/nightmares, light/darkness, abstract concepts
Edit: I guess the first two concepts could definitely be very similar, but they were still the most interesting sounding of the available options.
there’s still a bunch I would get excited for but I’m not hoping for covers in any way. at Halloween '15 during Can’t Rock Your Dream Face I turned to my buddy and said “I’d take 90% of their catalog over this”
The correct answer
Honestly say what you want but glad they are trying a bunch of new things this year. They needed to switch things up a bit. Will be interesting how they pull this off. But the Sturgill set would be cool.
Wonder if they’ll cover themselves covering Sturgill covering Nirvana’s In Bloom
No Front Porch for SÂł is a tragedy and travesty.
And WrOnKy ToNk is horrendous, but at least I’m pretty sure I can still pick 5 that have songs that i like. Surprised that they left off Johnny Cash or even Elvis.

I’m fucking PUMPED for UMBowl weekend. Really hope the Honky Tonk is Friday night so the “girlfriend” will enjoy it.
I hope the other sets are standard tbh. Every other set being themed sounds fun but not aggressively gimmicky.
Come party it up in Nashville, there’s still a shit ton of tickets left, 80% of which are better than my seats
I’m guessing the other 3 will be band’s choice, s2, and choose your own adventure
Yup thats about when I swore em off. Still seen like 10 shows since then somehow
Band’s choice, new cover/song/mashup/stew comp, adventure
