Killer World Beat Band Coming To Suwannee Springfest



So psyched that Suwannee Springfest is happening next week (March 21-24) at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida, with one of the best roots, newgrass and bluegrass lineups we've seen in years. 

This is a camping fest, you can camp with your car, and it's very family friendly. Four-day tickets are $165, $135 for students and military personnel.

The fest kicks off Thursday -- festgrrl's birthday, dontcha know! -- with the supremely talented songwriter Nathan Moore (The Slip, Surprise Me Mr. Davis) at 3 p.m..

I'm particularly stoked to see the band which closes out Thursday night's lineup ---- Red Baraat, an eight-piece band out of Brooklyn described as "a merging of hard driving North Indian bhangra rhythms with elements of jazz, go-go, brass funk, and hip-hop."  Get your nap time in -- they hit the stage in the Spanish moss-filled ampitheater a little after midnight. Check them out!!
