Earlier this month I asked for input about which artists (music and otherwise) I should see at this year’s Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival. I also listed some of the artists that I am thinking of seeing. Well, Mama O posted her suggestions online on the blog, but millions of you a bunch of you wrote me via email. So, here are the suggestions I have received so far (after the jump):

From Mike M

Franz Ferdinand & Modest Mouse are no brainers.  And don’t miss Yeah Yeah Yeahs ‘cuz she puts on a great live show.  Also DJ Spooky is definitely worth checking out.  Have fun!

From Chris P

Looks like fun. If I were going, the ones I’d be most eager to see are:
– Old 97s
– World Party
– Sheryl Crow
– Soulsavers w/Mark Lanegan
– Todd Snider

From Kevin C

Katy Perry, Sheryl Crow, Maximo Park, Todd Snider, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, writers of LOST, Franz Ferdinand

From Robert K

World Party might be worth checking out.  Franz Ferdinand is real good too.  Sly & Robbie is good dub reggae.

From Jared P

Sick Puppies are good… they are from Australia. Super nice guys and girl. Played with them at the Boardwalk like 3 years ago. Forgive Durden is VERY good. He is from Washington. Thats all that I saw that wasn’t obvious. (Jason Mraz, Black Eyed Peas, etc)

Thanks to all of you for the suggestions! I won’t see all those people but I might see some. I really appreciate it. Anyone else have some artist suggestions for me? Leave me a comment below!!

My original post is here, along with the list I was thinking about seeing before I got all this great input!
