    House crews are expected to work all days that their allocated venue is active unless otherwise negotiated with me. That said I am happy to work with you to make sure you get to see a band you love so long as it does not compromise the integrity your show.

    Please refer to you day sheets for schedules. I will also be sharing a google calendar per venue to help keep things updated in real time.

  • Everyone will receive a punch card with their credentials for 2 meals per day from catering.

    Catering hours are:

    Breakfast 7-10 am

    Dinner 5-8pm

    On Sunday brunch usually goes until 1pm

    As usual, if you are scheduled for work during dinner we will bring your meal to you.

    Also as usual feel to bring groceries to share at the house. I hope to get to do some breakfasts and late night snacks together. There will always be aftershow pizza and sponsor beer!

  • I will pick up your credentials (and hats) for you and they will be at your lodging when you arrive. If you have any questions or concerns let me know.

  • Parking is near non-existent in town, as such, everyone who is not driving for festival purposes will need to park their car in one of the free out of town lots. Corinne, Karissa and I will be available to carpool you back into town as needed. The best lot is next to to the Mtn. Market gondola station, so please use that if possible. Feel free to bring your bike to get around town!

  • Everyone is expected to be fully sober during all shifts.

    There is absolutely no leniency on guest lists or show access for friends unless explicitly approved by me. Capacity regulation is strictly enforced by the fire marshal and our ability to continue to have this series is dependent on capacity compliance. Thank you for understanding.

    For the above reason, house managers do not have the authority to approve your guest list requests, please do not bother them about it.

    Anyone found to be violating these rules will have their wristband revoked and will not be invited back next year. No exceptions.

  • If you are making over $600 (which I am happy to report is everyone this year) you will be paid via Gusto.

    If you were paid this way last year, please log into your existing Gusto account and confirm your details are up to date - especially direct deposit information, emergency contact, and mailing address. For new people an invite with detailed onboarding instructions and account check instructions will be sent out in early June via the email you have provided.

    If you already have a Gusto account you can accept the invite through that account. You will just then select Planet Bluegrass from the top right drop down to switch between companies.

    We are still trying to get everyone to opt into electronic document delivery. This can be done within your Gusto account by clicking on “Job & Pay” on the left menu and then scrolling to the bottom and editing your W-2/1099 delivery preferences to go “paperless”.

    Checks will be cut immediately following the festival.

    If you have any trouble, let me know and I am happy to help!
