Suwannee Spring Reunion Returns to Live Oak

Abandon hope all ye who enter here.

Welcome back to the lost and forgotten texts according to the wook wranglers. Somehow through the maze of etherweb brambles, you’ve found your way home to the kamp. This is the hub of Hobo Kamp. The launching pad for Kamp Happiness where the old locks have been sheared from the oak planks and turned into groundscore wind chimes. The Dead Cat Society still lurks in darkened corners, interpreting their own version of chemical bluegrass and Tommy Thermometer visits all good campers with visions of sugarplum tempeh and lentils. The Suwannee Spring Reunion Returns to Live Oak

This is Live Oak and there’s no place better. Join family and friends for a weekend of folk, bluegrass, Americana and all the swamp funk that can be handled in the beautiful woods of North Florida. Music lives here.
