When the Bear Creek Music Festival called it quits last year, longtime fans of the jam festival were devastated. Fortunately for them, the festival recently announced a relocation to New Orleans, under the new name Bear Creek Bayou Music Festival, with a stellar lineup taboot! Scheduled for September 30-October 1, the new festival will be held at Mardi Gras World in NOLA.
The festival has finalized their lineup with George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, Bernard Purdie & Friends (featuring Pete Shad, Brian J & Ivan Neville), The Budos Band, “Green Is Beautiful” A Tribute to Grant Green featuring Eddie Roberts, The Heavy Pets, Honey Island Swamp Band, Russ Liquid, Gravity A, Cha Wa, Boukou Groove, Pirate’s Choice, Smoke & Bones and Doombalaya!
These exciting additions round out the already-packed list of performers, including The Flaming Lips, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, Lettuce (x2), Soulive, Foundation of Funk (ft. George Porter Jr., Zigaboo Modeliste, John Medeski and Eddie Roberts) (x2), Dumpstaphunk (x2), and so many more.
