Two Weeks to Suwannee Springfest

The Vernal Equinox on March 20th this year may mark the start of Spring, but Suwannee Springfest has been our official start of Spring for several years. In two short weeks we will be back down south, looking for The Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park and all the great music and sweet vibes of our Festivarian friends.

The lineup this year includes the legendary Texas singer-songwriter Robert Earl Keen, a reunited Leftover Salmon (celebrating 20 years of slamgrass), and the world famous music machine from the Crescent City, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band.
Springfest favorites; Donna the Buffalo, Jim Lauderdale,The Mosier Borthers, Peter Rowan, Joe Craven, Sythian, Tornado Riders, Dread Clampitt, and many other 'mighty fine' pickers will of course be there.
We hope to see you too.

The Music Camp

Black Betty and I are packing up the popup and heading towards Spartanburg on Friday to try a new festival experience. This will really be the 5th year for this little festival put on by members of The Bellville Outfit, but will be our 1st experience with it.

I actually learned of both the band and the festival while driving home from Asheville last month and listening to WNCW. The Bellville Outfit were live guests and I really enjoyed their music. They talked about the festival and I came home and purchased the incredibly affordable tickets ($60. each for the weekend and $30. a carload to camp).

The line-up looks awesome, the crowd should be small, and the camping fun! What's not to like?
