Happy Thursday everyone!
You may have noticed the news on our homepage, but in case you check in here on a more regular basis, Wolf Trap has added 11 new shows to this summer's lineup! These performances all share a common on-sale date of this Saturday, April 12 at noon via our standard ticketing options.
The 11 additions are:

Live Symphony & Film
U.S. Premiere
Ben Folds - Wednesday, May 28 @ 8 p.m.
When I worked for Compass Records in Nashville, I used to see him walking the streets near our offices and occasionally driving around in a very unassuming Volvo since his recording studio was only two blocks away. I ran over to talk to him one day, what a great guy. I've heard from a multitude of people that he puts on an unbelievable live show.
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band w/special guest Poco - Friday, June 6 @ 8 p.m.
Very talented alt-country performers who are often seen on the bill at Farm Aid.
Moe w/ special guest Rusted Root - Saturday June 7 at 6 p.m.
One of the few jam bands left from the Phish and String Cheese Incident era.

Herbie Hancock - Monday, August 11 @ 8 p.m.
2008 Grammy winner for album of the year - this is huge!

A nice addition to the lineup, but I'm running out of money for summer shows! Hopefully some won't sell out soon.
Any big names on the Sgt. Pepper’s tribute besides those three?
How much bigger could you get than Todd Rundgren, Denny Laine and Taylor Hicks?
Any idea when tickets will go on sale for the 8/23 show?
