First-Ever Blackwater Music Festival in August!

So, yes, it is hot as Hades in North Florida in August. But our good friends behind the new Blackwater Music Festival , Aug. 26-28 at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Fl. are luring us with a stellar lineup.

BUY 3-day EARLY BIRD TICKETS BEFORE JULY 4 for $125 (That's $50 off the $175 it will be at the gate.)

They assured festgrrl that they will schedule shows later in the day (so we can all go play in the river during the scorching hours) and that they will have misting tents to keep us chill, mon.  Roasty toasy steamy dancin' in the woods!

So, I'm down with it. The lineup is Sooooo worth it: Disco Biscuits, JJ Grey and Mofro, Toubab Krewe, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Galactic, Slightly Stoopid, STS9, Perpetual Groove, Matt Grondin Band, G-Love , Zach Deputy and more -- its fantastic, y'all!

Festgrrl tip: Bring along a baby pool for the campsite instead of a fire pit, plus lots o' fans and a bike to make trips for more ice at the store.

And don't hate me 'cause my hippie van's got A/C. You can come visit.
