Show Reviews

As a result of kicking off its 16th anniversary, this year's Suwannee SpringFest ultimately proved to be a sure reminder that the presence of music, art, and nature when shared over a 4 day weekend with the family is a beautiful thing.

Early into 2012, strong storytelling and accomplished musicianship help to propel Yarn’s Almost Home into the category of the year’s must-hear albums.

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.
