Lettuce and The Lee Boys Want YOU to Join Them at SoSMP! |

This weekend you have the opportunity to spend it in an incredibly intimate setting, in one of the most beautiful places on the planet, with magical friends and family, all while hearing some amazing music.

Southern Soul BBQ and Purple Hat Productions are thrilled to invite you to the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak FL for a wonderful two days this Friday and Saturday, January 13th and 14th. The Music Hall will be warm, the food will be tasty, the beverages will be cold, and the music will be blazing.

We mentioned this recently, and you can read in-depth discussions of the bands involved here (and about the Lettuce tour here), but let’s refresh your memory. Lettuce, The Lee Boys, Troy Youngblood & the Soulfish, The Galbraith Group and Jaw Gems will be performing. Here is a quick run-down with some more video evidence!
