What a treat -- the lineup for Magnolia Fest, the Americana fest that happens each fall at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Fl. every year, just came out. This year's dates are Oct 16-19.

And there are some fine, fine musicians on the bill. We're talking Dr. John and the Night Trippers, Lyle Lovett, The Indigo Girls, Jason Isbell, Bela Fleck, Marcia Ball, Abigail Washburn, (the a-maaaaazing) March Fourth Marching Band, Keller Williams, Donna The Buffalo, The Wailers, Honey Island Swamp Band, and more.

This is a family-friendly fest with wonderful campground picking all weekend. Heads up: Tickets are $150, and go up tomorrow to $170. They will be $200 at the gate. VIP tickets are available for $300.

Be prepared for some powerful acoustic magic in the woods for this one. This very well-run festival gets better and better every year. I can say with confidence that you will not be  disappointed!
