Music Everywhere: Alabama, Suwannee, Crawfordville
The Acoustic Cafe, which holds music festivals outside Birmingham in Haleyville, Alabama, has a little fest this weekend called Folk in the Fall with Dread Clampitt and others. This is always a great time, a single stage, phenomenal string players, and kind folks. Very family friendly, camping included in the $40 price at the gate.
Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Fl. hosts Disc Jams, a music and frisbee disc golf series with music Friday and Saturday nights. This is the first time for this event. The Whethermen, Saltwater Grass, SOSOS and 3rd Stone play. It costs $30 for the tournament, $20 if you don't want to play golf but want to camp for the weekend and join the party. Players can win free tickets to Magnolia Fest and Bear Creek Music and Art Festival.
Woodstork, a benefit for the Florida Wild Mammal Association, happens on Saturday in Crafordville, south of Tallahassee. This is not a camping festival, suggested donation is $5, and proceeds go to rescue wild critters. There's a silent auction, and Ralph Pelletier, Swingin Harpoon, Mimi & The HearnDogs, the Sarah Mac Band and the Rick Ott Band play.
And if that isn't enough for you, see my previous posts for two other festies this weekend: Farm to Family outside Gainesville and Harvest Moon in Callaway Gardens, just south of Atlanta, with gourmet food, the B 52s, John Hiatt, the Gin Blossoms, Shawn Colvin, and more.
