The annual Wanee Festival announced their initial set of artists today with the old-school heavy hitters of Allman Brothers Band and Furthur taking lead on the lineup this year. Both bands will be performing two nights so the sit-in potential on this festival is absolutely insane. That’s obviously what the promoters go for when they throw parties at this spot; my friends said Bear Creek was just a constant stream of sit-ins and sets with more guests than you could keep up with notating.
The fest returns to Suwannee Music Park in Like Oak, FL the weekend of April 19-21, and it’s a doozy if you’re a jamband fan whatsoever. Tickets go on sale this Friday. Read on for the lineup… >>>
Furthur announced their New Year’s Eve plans the other day and will be spending three nights at Bill Graham Civic Center Auditorium in San Francisco when the clock turns over to 2012. I’d put a guess that they’ll have a few special guests over the course of the run and you’ll see a lot of music in those three days if you stay in the Bay Area. Pre-sale tickets go on sale on Monday… READ MORE

Our friend Derek McCabe was at all three nights of Furthur at Red Rocks just a week and a half ago now, and his photo galleries from the show came out incredible. Musically the band was pulling out some of the stops that the venue’s storied heritage absolutely demanded, with Chris Robinson joining the band for a few tunes on the first night of the run.
