Bear Creek 2013: The Roots, Bootsy Collins, KDTU, Lettuce, Antibalas, The New Mastersounds, The Motet

It’s hard to find anybody with a bad word to say about the Bear Creek Music & Art Festival. The event’s organizers treat performers and visitors as family and you can always count on the acts they book to bring their A game and plenty of collaborations. Late last night the lineup for this year’s Bear Creek – which takes place from November 14th – 17th at Spirit of Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida – was unveiled on New Orleans radio station WWOZ.

The Roots, KDTU, Lettuce, The New Mastersounds, Antibalas, Zach Deputy, Toubab Krewe, George Porter Jr.’s Runnin’ Pardners, The Motet, The Jennifer Hartswick Band and Kung Fu are just a few of the many HT faves set to play Bear Creek in November. Many of the bands booked will play two sets. Bear Creek organizers also revealed an impressive list of “Artists At Large” that includes Oteil Burbridge, Karl Denson, George Porter Jr., Mike Dillon, Jennifer Hartswick, Natalie Cressman, Skerik and Roosevelt Collier; so you can be assured there will be no lack of sit-ins in Live Oak.

Tickets for Bear Creek go on sale on Wednesday, April 24th. More artists will be announced soon.
