Some Cope to Help you Cope with Monday

Here's a little Cope, the great funky jam band band out of Tampa, to start your week out right. Cope plays Saturday night at Jambando in the Park II at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park. Some people have been asking me about this little gem of a fest, and I say it is a not-to-be-missed weekend of bands and swimming and jamming for just $30 advanced! There will be bands playing at the Suwannee river beach on both Saturday and Sunday during the hottest parts of the day.

Electric sites are only $25 for this event, so you can plug in your box fans and microwave ovens!

Orange Blossom Jamboree this weekend!

Head on out to the Orange Blossom Jamboree this weekend outside Tampa, an intimate, family friendly  fest in a lovely location, the Sertoma Youth Ranch outside Brooksville. This venue has hot showers, bathrooms, and vendors. It's $45 advance and $60 at the gate, kids 12 and under are free. That price includes primitive camping. Water an electric sites are $40 more, and you can pile as many folks on your site as you can fit.

The lineup includes 3rd Stone, the funk/blues world beat group out of Gainesville, talented Dead cover band Crazy Fingers, Orlando jam band funkUs, Tampa jam band Cope, Saltwater Grass, and national up-and-comers, The Heavy Pets.  

Music cranks up at 11 am Friday and goes through 4 p.m. Sunday.

The fest website has a free 3 CD download for your listening pleasure -- nice!
