Festival announcement season is in full swing around the Internets, and you can add another Florida festival to the list. Even though the event isn’t happening until November, the Bear Creek Music and Art Festival has announced its 2010 lineup. The festival takes place November 12-14 at Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida, the same spot as the Wanee Music Festival.
In fact, if you think of the Wanee Music festival as Florida’s big “Southern Rock” music fest (w/ the Allman Brothers Band, WSP, etc…), then you might consider Bear Creek to be Wanee’s funky counterpart, with the likes of Ivan Neville, Lettuce, Soulive, and George Porter in the top slots. Either way, it’s good to see a few solid Florida fests sticking it out through a tough economy (RIP Langerado).
