Blackwater Festival less than 2 weeks away!

Blackwater Music Festival 2011 will rock the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Florida from September 22- 24.  Alongside the lazy flowing “blackwater” Suwannee River, the festival has a unique combination of an awesome lineup with great camping.  The festival grounds are shaded with ancient moss draped live oak trees and are speckled with picturesque ponds.  You can even jump in the river for a brisk morning wake up if you want.  Three nights of soul lifting tunes will be played on five different stages.  Headlining are the nearly indescribable psychedelic Flaming Lips who are sure to treat Blackwater Festival goers to a unique, elaborate show experience.  Other artists such as the Easy Star Allstars, The Expendables, Pepper, Mishka, Spiritual Rez, Buckethead, Iration, Passafire and many more promise to deliver everything from high energy funk rock and ska to chill, melodic reggae serenades. 

Blackwater is approaching quickly so get your tickets Now!

See you there!
