2011 WANEE MUSIC FESTIVAL, A MAJOR SUCESS
2011 WANEE MUSIC FESTIVAL
TREATS HUGE CROWDS
TO AN EXPANDED EVENT FEATURING
THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND
WIDESPREAD PANIC, ROBERT PLANT, STEVE MILLER
& MANY MORE!
Expanded to a full three day event from Thursday, April 14th to Saturday April 16th and with a longer and more exciting Kick-Off Party on Wednesday, April 13th, the 2011 Wanee Music Festival, at Spirit of Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, FL, delighted a huge crowd with jam filled sets by The Allman Brothers Band (headlining Friday and Saturday nights) and Widespread Panic (headlining Thursday night). With great attendance and fantastic weather throughout the event, the Festival also featured incredible sets by Robert Plant, Steve Miller, Mike Gordon, Stephen Marley, Ween and more than 40 other bands performing on two major stages (Peach & Mushroom).
One of the new highlights was the breakout performance by Lotus during their first ever appearance at Wanee. The band’s Thursday late night performance on the Mushroom Stage was an eye opening spectacle full of fresh sounds. “Lotus then proceeded to prove that it doesn’t matter where you’re from; what matters is where you’re at. Every dancing soul on hand became impeccably present as Lotus’ bottom heavy layers lifted up Mike Rempel (guitarist), who painted vast sonic landscapes containing all of the twists, turns, peaks and valleys needed to lose oneself in.” said Scott Horowitz of jambase.com.
Continued . . .Another first-time highlight of the 2011 Festival was the “Wanee Traveling Stage” featuring sets by Bobby Lee Rogers, Griffin Anthony and the North Mississippi Allstars Duo. The mobile stage made its way around the park with multiple stops at the river and campground lake on Thursday, Friday & Saturday afternoons. It was a welcome addition that added to the Festival’s outstanding musical vibe. The traveling stage gave fans a chance to vibe with great music while enjoying the parks ambiance outside of the main stage areas.
No longer flying under the radar, Wanee Music Festival has become a worldwide major Festival and is a must see for jamband fans and more. The music and lineup at Wanee is always superior and The Allman Brothers Band continues to provide the musical highlights with mind-blowing marathon jams and exciting guest appearances. On Saturday night The Brothers were joined on stage by Taj Mahal. Grace Beehler of jambands.com recalls “The band excitedly welcomed Taj Mahal to the
stage for “Leavin’ Trunk” and “Statesboro Blues,” a highlight for both the audience and the band.”
As always, Wanee was highlighted by great musical performances, however it is the unique vibe and friendly atmosphere of the festival that help it stand out as truly special.

Jeff Beck Wows Louisville Palace
Jeff Beck
Jeff Beck
The Louisville Palace was the center of the music universe last night as two time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member (Yardbirds in 1992 and Solo artist in 2009), Jeff Beck and his talented band covered the entire spectrum of the musical world in roughly 90 minutes.
From the opening notes of “Plan B”, Beck demonstrated why he is rated 14th in Rolling Stone Magazines ”Top 100 All Time Guitarists”. After this brilliant performance, its time to reevaluate the list. Jeff Beck is among the very top guitar players of all time.
His musical style and humble attitude have kept him out of the spotlight of mainstream music, but there is no denying his mastery of guitar and his ability to dominate any style of music.
The show covers nearly every genre, blues-rock, jazz fusion, hard rock, electronica, progressive rock, and classical. Beck lets his guitar do most of the singing with an instrumental show fueled by his incredible band showcasing Rhonda Smith’s thundering bass , Jason Rebello’s keyboards and Nathan Michael Walden’s power driven drums.
Smith’s vocals on Sly Stone’s, “ I Want to Take You Higher” and Walden’s singing on a classic version of “Little Wing” were about all the vocals needed as the high powered music machine led by Beck wizardry captivated the audience through out the performance.
The “guitar players guitarist” left his mark on the nearly full venue. “Wow” was the common word used in conversation as fans filed out. It’s still early in 2011 but Jeff Beck just set the bar high and will be one of the best performances of he year.

The Wanee Festival 2011 Review
The Wanee Festival 2011
What started as dream of the Allman Brothers Band to have a ” festival featuring the band and their many side projects “, has become the south’s most important music festival of the year. With the help of Live Nation, the past three years, the seventh annual Wanee Music Festival held at Spirit of Suwanee Music Park, in Live Oak Florida, the festival has grown to an estimated 30,000 fans camping and enjoying the beautiful park and the great North Florida Spring weather.
The Wanee Festival added an extra day of music and a stellar lineup of musicians to the 2011 edition of the show. This years show made it a difficult choice of what band to pick between or leave before the show finished in order to see another show.
The festival kicked off the Wednesday at 1:45 and went well into the night featuring legendary New Orleans band, The Radiators, who are ending their thirty three years of music in June. They were followed by Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk who included a tribute to James Brown in their late night set.
Thursday began the first full day of music, afternoon shows by Wanda Jackson, North Mississippi Allstars Duo of Luther and Cody Dickinson, and Blues Traveler’s John Popper who not only played an outstanding set with his new band, The Duskray Troubadours but also made appearances with D.J. Logic and Devon Allman’s Honeytribe.
Stephen Marley and a classic set by Hot Tuna fueled the fans for Widespread Panic’s blistering performance to finish the Peach Stage for the evening. Lotus followed with an excellent set at the Mushroom stage.
Thursday’s performances set the bar high and festival goers worn down but when Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings took the stage, the energy level rose and after Keller Williams finished his set around 4:30.The anticipation of discovering Warren Haynes new project The Warren Haynes Band filled the Peach Stage to see what the guitar legend had in store. Haynes delivered with a mixture of soul , r&B and rock filled with excellent guitar , horns and vocals.
Led Zeppelin front man ,Robert Plant brought his Band of Joy to the stage next and left the Wanee Festival on its heels mixing new versions of Black Dog, and six other Zep songs with music from his past two albums.
At 9:30, The Allman Brothers Band opened with “Hot Lanta” and never looked back. It was a classic show filled with the blistering dueling guitars of Haynes and Derek Trucks and strong vocals from Greg Allman. The band was a music machine, honed to perfection from their April Beacon Theater run in New York City. The band ended the first night with “One Way Out” joined by the guitar of Luther Dickinson and Roosevelt Collier on peddle steel guitar.
Rain began the day Saturday, as the exhausted campers wondered out loud how could the music get any better? When the rain ended and the sun came out and Guitar Shorty blazed through his early set it became evident that great music was far from over. Taj Mahal , Ween and Rusted Root all played brilliantly.
The Tedeschi Trucks Band , a newly formed combination of Allman phenom Guitarist, Derek Trucks and his wife Susan Tedechi performed the most incredible set of music of the festival. The talent of this band is endless and their new music energized the packed venue for the night ahead.
The Steve Miller Band kept the music flowing playing his catalogue of rock hits beginning with “Jet Airliner” and including “The Joker”, “Abracadabra”, and ending with “Keep on Rockin”. The talented guitarist was a crowd favorite who had people dancing and singing through out the set.
The Allman Brothers end the evening doing what they do best, playing from their catalogue of 40 plus years at a fever pitched pace. They are perfectly in sync on every note. Greg Allman, one of the best all time blues voices was as strong as ever. Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks are both considered top guitarists in Rolling Stone Magazine’s 100 all time greatest guitarists poll. The wall of sound formed by drummers and bass form a well oiled music machine carrying you with them through every musical twist and turn.
Inviting guest musicians to sit in is expected with the Allmans, this night they were joined by Taj Mahal on “Leavin’ Trunk” and “Statesboro Blues”.
Wanee Festival has become bigger and better every year. The venue is the most beautiful of all festivals and very manageable. The Spirit of Swanee Park is set up for camping unlike most festival sites. The audience is a more mature age. The lineups are well know experience bands who seem to enjoy interacting with the other musicians. The Wanee Festival has become a can’t miss festival. One of the top festivals in the nation.
