If you like dub step and live electronica, check out Jacksonville Beach's Greenhouse Lounge, playing Thursday night at The Engine Room. This band is known for its late-night rages at festivals.
For this show, doors open at 8 p.m. and cover is $8. Remember, they don't let ladies wear high heels at The Engine Room. They just don't, OK?
I can't say enough good things about this festival. Super chill, kind people, family friendly, totally relaxing, with just one stage. Set down your chair and your cooler and enjoy the show. You can check out the lineup of regional acts here.
You may not have heard of some of these performers, but trust me, you will enjoy them. It's a mix of folk, jazz, ska, blues, bluegrass, world beat and jam. This is a lovely event, and it is a bargain -- $20 advanced, $25 at the gate. Kids 13 and under are free. Nice spots for shaded camping, a good place to let kids run around. The Grilled Cheese Wagon and a few other vendors provide vittles. There are some great vendors also with handmade items for holiday shopping.
That was fast. Early Bird tickets for the Allman Brothers' annual Wanee Festival April 19-21 sold out in a day at $165 (plus fees.) The early bird sale was supposed to run through Dec. 10 at 10 p.m. woder how many the promoters set aside for this promotion?
And no, they don't have an announced lineup yet. This is just how Wanee rolls. This is one of the largest of the festivals at the gorgeous Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Lilve Oak, Fl., with fans rolling in from all over the country for some Southern rock and Florida springtime...and gnomes.
Early bird tickets go on sale today. for the wonderful Orange Blossom Jamboree May 17-20 at the Sertoma Youth Ranch in the rolling hills outside Brooksville. The early bird price for weekend tickets is $45. Tickets go up to $60 after that. Primitive camping is free, and sites with water and electric are $60 for the weekend. Kids under 12 are free.
You can see the lineup, which includes the supremely talented Cope, here
This was one of the best festivals I went to last year. It's a family-friendly small festival with really nice campsites and some of the sweetest folks you will find anywhere. Plus, they have kick-ass acts like this:
This Brooklyn band, Turkuaz, (pronounced 'Ter-kwaz') blew everybody away at Bear Creek Music and Art Festival -- They're touring America bringing the funk. Enjoy!
