Rock and roll heavyweights The Allman Brothers and Widespread Panic are obviously the big draw at the Wanee Festival, happening this week at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Fl.
But this year, as in past years, Wanee is also a garden of delights for funk fans.
Over the next few days, I offer you a Funkateer's Guide to the Wanee Festival.
The first advice for funk fans is to get to Wanee early --- Wednesday night's Wanee pre-party is a funky throwdown with one of the top contemporary funk bands working today, New Orleans' Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk.
Today, we feature two great California bands -- Monophonics, a super fine psychedelic soul and funk band out of San Francisco, and The Greyboy Allstars, an acid jazz-boogaloo band from San Diego.
Monophonics plays 2-3 p.m. Thursday on the Mushroom Stage, and The Greyboy Allstars play Thursday late-night from 11 :30-1:30 on the Mushroom Stage.
Here's a taste of their tastiness and check out the awesome puppets in the second video!:
