The Suwannee River Jam scheduled for May 1-4 at the beautiful Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park (SOSMP) in Live Oak, Fla is proud to announce the addition of country artist Josh Thompson. Josh joins a fantastic line-up of country artists already signed - Sheryl Crow, Rodney Atkins, Florida Georgia Line, Eli Young Band, Easton Corbin, Randy Houser, Aaron Tippin, LoCash Cowboys, Adam Sanders, Steel Bridge Band and Justin Case Band. Josh will open for Easton Corbin on Friday night of the Jam.Josh feels country music is real life set to music where there is no sugar coating, just what you see and hear is what you get. This accurately describes the man himself. Shortly after arriving in Nashville, Josh quickly began to establish himself as a singer/songwriter on the rise in the country music scene. Josh Thompson is not just a songwriter but a country music artist. His talent is widely recognized by both fans and Nashville music professionals alike. He has a soulful distinctive voice and a style reminiscent of legends like Haggard, Waylon, and Cash. Josh recognizes that his life will always be grounded by the blood, sweat, and tears of his blue collar life.His first album, Way Out Here, was released in 2010 and the album peaked on Billboard at #9. The CD is filled with songs that reflect the artist - “Beer On The Table,” “Blame It on Waylon,” “Sinner,” “Won't Be Lonely Long,” “Always Been Me,” “A Name in This Town,” "Way Out Here," "You Ain't Seen Country Yet,” “Back Around” and “I Won't Go Crazy.” “Beer on the Table” became a Top 40 country single, rising to #17, marking Josh's first taste of chart success. Since then Josh has had several songs chart on Billboard, including “Way Out Here,” “Won‘t Be Lonely Long,” “Coming‘ Around" and “Change.” His songs are about real life love, anger, hurt, loss and more raw emotions that ring true with brutal honesty to everyone who hears them. If you want to know who Josh Thompson is – his music tells his story. He’s currently working on a new album and touring America.Tickets are still available for the Suwannee River Jam May 1-4. If you would like to make reservations for RV parking, cabins, primitive camping or camper parking for the SOSMP or to purchase tickets, call 386-364-1683, email [email protected] or go to www.musicliveshere.com.The Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park is located at 3076 95th Drive, Live Oak, Fla, 4.5 miles south of Interstate 75 and 4.5 miles north of Interstate 10 off US 129.

It was four days of continuous music not interrupted one bit by a rain storm that lasted into the night Friday when the 9th Annual Wanee Music Festival returned to The Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park (SOSMP) in Live Oak, Fla where the artists that can be described as the royalty of music perform.An estimated 60,000 fans of bands like The Allman Brothers, Widespread Panic, Michael Franti, and his band, Gov’t Mule, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Jaimoe's Jasssz Band, Robert Randolph and the Family Band, Leon Russell, Tower of Power, Les Claypool’s Duo de Twang, Electric Hot Tuna, Maceo Parker, Steel Pulse, North Mississippi Allstars, Blackberry Smoke, Galactic & Friends, The Greyboy Allstars, Voice of the Wetlands All-Stars featuring Tab Benoit, Cyril Neville, Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, Jumpin Johnny Sansone, Waylon Thibodeaux and Johnny Vidacovich; Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Royal Southern Brotherhood, Bobby Lee Rodgers Trio, The Lee Boys, Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad, The Revivalists, Monophonics, Boombox, Oli Brown Band, Flannel Church and The Yeti Trio. Wanee Wednesday Happy Hour featured Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk, Cope, Kettle of Fish, Beebs & Her Money Makers, Juke and The Groves gathered to immerse themselves in their favorite music.Wanee also had the traveling version of Jorma Kaukonen’s “Fur Peace Ranch” where fans could experience musician/songwriter workshops and lessons, all under the tutelage of world class musicians.Fans began arriving early in the week before the April 17 opening night and by Friday, primitive camping sites were cram packed with vehicles parked bumper to bumper and festival goers having the time of their lives on the more than 800-acre campground on the banks of the famous Suwannee River. Dozens upon dozens of vendors with every type food imaginable, including pancakes and syrup for breakfast, pizza and much more, a huge selection of festival clothing that included belly dancers’ coin skirts with beaded matching tops for the festival junkie, blankets, drums, jewelry and on and on did a brisk business. Some vendors’ tents were lined up in triple rows and some extended out of sight into the camping area. Golf carts were among the mode of transportation along with a few bicycles but mostly these festival goers used their God-given ability to walk, yes, walk, on their ventures around the park! Thursday night’s Royal Southern Brotherhood performance at the Mushroom Stage (amphitheater) was filled jam-packed with swirling hula-hoopers, swaying music lovers and head-bobbing music aficionados who seemed oblivious to those around them. These same themes carried throughout the four-day festival that ended Saturday night or actually early Sunday morning. When Widespread Panic and The Allman Brothers performed late Saturday evening, the festival field was a sea of bodies swaying shoulder to shoulder, grooving to the music as far as the eye could see.Strange as it may seem, Saturday evening at this world-wide known jam band music festival, the sounds of bluegrass began to waft through the oak trees in the Crafts Village where “Dr.” Don Miller, a long-time bluegrass radio DJ, broadcast his regular Saturday program from 5-7 p.m. over WQHL 98.1 The Big Country station from the SOSMP’s radio studio in the Crafts Village! It was easy to tell some festival goers who passed by may not have ever heard a thing called bluegrass music! Others just took a seat under the moss-laden oaks in front of the studio and enjoyed! One lady sat with her “chicken on a stick,” a 6 ft. pole with a 3 ft. tall paper stuffed chicken attached, garnering much attention!

The Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park (SOSMP) in Live Oak, Fla. is super excited to announce the signing of some of the best artists in country music who will entertain you at the 2018 Suwannee River Jam (SRJ) May 2-5! Those artists who will perform during the 27th Annual Suwannee River Jam are Alan Jackson, LOCASH, Josh Turner, Tyler Farr, Easton Corbin and Rodney Atkins with more to be announced soon.

Alan Jackson’s Honky Tonk Highway Tour coming to the Suwannee River Jam will find the country icon performing hits that have gained him legions of fans and songs that continue to draw new crowds as a younger generation discovers his music. Jackson’s repertoire stands the test of time; it has impacted a field of artists who cite Jackson as an influence. It’s these same songs – many written by Alan – that earned him his newfound place alongside country music’s greatest names and cemented his place in its history with membership in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Fans will hear the songs they love including his debut hit “Here in The Real World”…signature songs such as “Chattahoochee,” “Drive” and “Gone Country,” party anthems “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere,” “Good Time” and many, many more. Recently inducted to the Country Music Hall of Fame, Alan Jackson’s membership among country music’s all-time greats is the latest in a long line of career-defining accolades that include three CMA Entertainer of the Year honors, more than 25 years of membership in the Grand Ole Opry, a 2016 Billboard ranking as one of the Top 10 Country Artists of All-Time, induction to the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Heritage Award as the most-performed country songwriter-artist of ASCAP’s first 100 years. The man from rural Newnan, GA has sold nearly 60-million albums worldwide and ranks as one of the 10 best-selling male vocalists of all-time in all genres. He has released more than 60 singles – registering 50 Top Ten hits and 35 #1s.

LOCASH, a duo of Chris Lucas and Preston Brust, has performed at the SRJ for more than 10 years! LOCASH is revered as “one of Nashville’s hardest-working acts” (Rolling Stone) whose live show “has consistently been among the most energetic and entertaining in the country music genre” (Billboard). With two albums and eight charting singles to their credit, LOCASH broke out in 2015 with GOLD-certified hit, “I Love This Life," GOLD-certified #1 smash “I Know Somebody” taking them on their first trip to the top of the Country radio airplay charts – and 2017’s “Ring On Every Finger.” All three were part of their album, THE FIGHTERS, a Top 15 successes. They also wrote Keith Urban’s #1 “You Gonna Fly” in 2011 and Tim McGraw’s PLATINUM-certified “Truck Yeah” in 2012. In 2017, they were nominated at the ACM Awards for New Vocal Duo or Group of the Year, the CMT Music Awards for Duo Video of the Year (“I Know Somebody”) and the CMA Awards for Vocal Duo of the Year.

 Josh Turner, a multi-platinum MCA Nashville recording artist, is one of country music’s most recognizable hit makers. With a rich, deep voice and distinctive style, Turner has sold more than 12.5 million units, is a disciple of traditional country music and one of the youngest members of the Grand Ole Opry. From his 2003 platinum-selling debut Long Black Train to his most recent 2017 Billboard No. 1 release, Deep South, Josh has garnered multiple Grammy, CMA and ACM nominations. Turner’s hits include “Your Man,” “Why Don’t We Just Dance,” “Firecracker,” “Would you Go with Me,” “All Over Me,” and “Time is Love,” the most played country song of 2012. Rolling Stone declared that Josh, with his “river deep baritone,” delivered an “eagerly awaited album from a country purist.” PEOPLE Magazine says the “Nashville veteran flaunts his deep bass” on Deep South and that the album is “an ode to down-home staples from finding that perfect love on “Hometown Girls” to savoring the laid-back life on the title track.”

Columbia Nashville’s Tyler Farr’s sophomore album, Suffer In Peace, made its debut in the top 5 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums and Billboard Country Albums charts. With the release of his debut album, Redneck Crazy, in 2013 and landing Farr at No. 2 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart and #5 on the Billboard Top 200, it made Tyler the only solo male country artist in the last 10 years to have his first two studio albums debut in the top 5 on the Billboard 200 Chart. His #1, platinum-selling title track “Redneck Crazy” was called the “song of the summer” by The New York Times and projected Tyler forward to celebrate back-to-back #1 singles, including his first #1 as a songwriter, with his Gold-certified hit “Whiskey in My Water.” He was named a 2014 CRS New Faces of Country Radio and 2014 Music Row “Breakthrough Artist of the Year” nominee, toured with Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line, Brantley Gilbert and Lee Brice, and has been on the Today Show and Fox & Friends’ All American Summer Concert Series. Tyler’s single off the Suffer In Peace Album, “A Guy Walks into a Bar,” is a radio hit, and RIAA Certified Gold.

 With two No. 1 singles, multiple awards and nominations, plus performances on some of the biggest stages in the world, Mercury Nashville’s Easton Corbin, a native of Gilchrist County, Fla. a short distance from the SRJ, is lauded for his traditional country sound, authentic lyrics and mastery of understatement. American Songwriter says, “Easton Corbin has one of those rare, glorious voices that was made – just made – for singing country music.” His self-titled debut album released in 2010 spawned back-to-back hits “A Little More Country Than That” and “Roll With It,” making him the first country male artist in 17 years to have his first two consecutive singles reach No. 1. In 2012 his sophomore album, All Over The Road, included the Top 5 hits “Loving’ You Is Fun” and “All Over The Road.” Easton set a career-best debut on Country Airplay with his top 5 hit single, “Baby Be My Love Song,” from his No. 1 debuting album About to Get Real. He spent 2016 on one of the biggest tours in country music – Carrie Underwood’s The Storyteller Tour which Billboard named the #1 country tour of the first half of 2016. Forbes picked it as one of the 10 hottest tours of the fall.

Rodney Atkins has an impressive track record with hitting on sentiments that strike a chord with the country listener. He’s had five #1 hits from his first three albums from “Watching You” and “These Are My People” to his most recent smash, “Farmer’s Daughter,” which quickly skyrocketed to platinum. He’s sold over four million singles in the past five years alone. His latest single, “Take A Back Road” is on course to propel him to even bigger heights and was near platinum status just weeks after its release. Although his vocal energy on his new album may be amped up, Rodney is still the same hard-working, patriotic, rock-solid country boy who fans have loved since his 2003 debut of “Honesty.” Rodney likes to spend time with his wife and son, serves as a spokesperson for Massey Ferguson and the National Council for Adoption, a cause dear to his heart as he was adopted as a child.

This revered country music festival features an exciting pre-party in the Music Hall May 2 with music from a variety of artists from 6 p.m. until. Thursday, May 3, is a huge opening night show on the Amphitheater Stage with national country artists. Friday and Saturday SRJ Audition winners entertain on the Amphitheater Stage as well as national artists. National artists will also perform on the Main Stage Friday and Saturday. Other activities include Soap for Soldiers, a patriotic event to help our soldiers overseas a salute to our military at the Main Stage and a silent auction with autographed items donated by artists and others will aid area high school bands. One of the main attractions is family and friend reunions that have in some cases gone on for more than 26 years, campfire pickin’ and singing, golf cart parade and so much more!
