With such an outstanding lineup of artists, many of whom are well known to the Suwannee family, we thought it couldn’t get better, but it just did.The additional members of the lineup include Oteil & Friends, Leftover Salmon, The Grass is Dead, Dustbowl Revival, Bruce Cockburn, Shinyribs, Jon Stickley Trio, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades, and Jonathan Scales Fourchestra, and Artist-at-Large David Gans.
You can also count on bearing witness to some amazing spontanious jams throughout the weekend — both on and off stage — with old friends and new coming together with a synergistic vibe that is unrivaled. It is truly magical to be immersed in such a pure and natural musical environment, and the musicians can feel it too. Many of the performers choose to stay on site and camp instead of going to a hotel, because the jams never end. I know — I have seen my share of sleepless sunrises (it was worth it everytime). Check out the Bill Monroe Shrine and Slopryland for jams that often go until dawn (you might even find some of the main acts there after hours). If you wander around the park, keep your ears tuned, and you will find dozens of campfire pickin’ circles of all levels and styles.
Early bird tickets are on sale now, and the prices will go up soon, so get ’em while they are hot. We put together a playlist to tide you over until October. Enjoy, and we will keep you informed as we get updates.
