Show Reviews

Multi-media review of FloydFest!

Backporch jamming fun in the Playhouse with room to groove!

This year’s Bear Creek was hands down the best one yet! Bear Creek was well-organized and very efficient throughout the weekend also bringing the feeling of togetherness as well as superb music to the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Northern Florida.

John Brown’s Body came back to Virginia Beach, a regular stop on their circuit, and visited the new and “improved” Jewish Mother. I pulled out the quotation marks there because I’ll always love the old Jewish Mother (on Virginia Beach’s ocean front) for its walls of photos, memories of times with friends on a tight dance floor, and the list of bands I experienced there.

An up and coming band out of Chapel Hill, NC that everyone should know about.

The 2nd annual Blackwater Music Festival was again at the beautiful 'Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park'. The name "Blackwater" is said to have come from the deep dark color of the Suwannee River. The river is black because of the flow from the Okefenokee Swamp where it has become saturated with the tannins from billions of leaves, roots, and bark. The offset colors of the bleach white limestone walls that surround each side of the river make for an awe inspiring view which is a beautiful setting for a weekend of good music.

This year’s MOTM took place at the gorgeous Grandfather Mountain Campground near Boon, NC.

Check out photos from this year's Camp Barefoot 5: which featured an exhaustive & comprehensive collection of artists, plucked from varying genres and styles. Fans of funk, electronic, bluegrass, and more straightforward “jam” enjoyed many pockets of music to entertain themselves throughout the weekend.

For 10 years Floydfest has given people an immersed diversity of culture, art and music that has broadened the minds and souls of all who have attended.

Big Daddy Love kicks out a nice mix of bluegrass, rock and exuberant swagger for a free Friday night show in Greensboro.
