Get Your Mag on Before The Price Goes Up

The price increases tomorrow for one of the loveliest festivals in these parts -- Magnolia Fest, Oct. 20-23 at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Llive Oak, Fl. . Magfest is moving a little away from its pure-bluegrass/newgrass roots, with jamband moe. as a headliner this year, performing two shows. The price is $150 today and $165 tomorrow.

This is a family-friendly fest in such a gorgeous time of year. I always make the most of it by showing up Wednesday and staying through Monday morning. Sunday day and night is especially sweet, with just one stage and Donnna The Buffalo and special guests closing out what becomes and intimate party.

Performers include Bela Fleck and The Flecktones, Lucinda Williams, Railroad Earth, Keller Williams and The Traveling McCourys, 7 Walkers, Tornado Rider,  Infamous Stringdusters, Toubab Krewe, Honey Island Swamp Band, Cornmeal, and more. Seeing banjo great Bela Fleck -- especially with the Flecktones, is always a treat. Enjoy this performance, and get those tickets today!
