It didn't take long for this makeshift musical beast called Tryptophunk to groove into a well-oiled machine, finding their stride well within the first 20 minutes of a 2.5 hour party at Tipitina's Uptown to ring in Turkey Day. Highlights included the early and often Meters covers, including "No More Okey Doke" and "Ain't No [...]

What started in 2007 as the New Orleans Po-Boy Preservation Festival with a small stretch of vendors and a handful of local music acts has grown into a massive celebration of New Orleans culture with over 40 food stops, scores of local artists showing off their wares, and enough live music to fill three stages all day long. Festival veterans returning for 2011 include Latin boogaloo experts [...]

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 .
