When Paul Peck, the creator of the now-infamous Bonnaroo SuperJam, announced the inaugural Okeechobee Festival, fans were eager to hear just who would be joining forces for the new festival’s one-of-a-kind collaboration. Today, the festival has revealed the lineup for their PoWoW super jam session!
When we spoke to Peck last week, he commented about the new fest, saying “Well, I’m probably most excited about the PoWoW! to be honest… I’m really, really excited for this collaboration, because it’s going to combine some really talented artists in a totally new context, and give them an opportunity to reimagine some of the music that has inspired and been the soundtrack to all of our lives.”
The lineup includes Miguel, Win Butler (Arcade Fire), John Oates (Hall & Oates), George Porter Jr. (The Meters), Zigaboo Modeliste (The Meters), Kamasi Washington, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Eric Krasno (Soulive), Neal Evans (Soulive), Chris Karns, and very special guests.
The festival provided a brief summary as to what fans can expect from the performance. In their announcement, Okeechobee said, “The PoWow! will focus largely on epic reinterpretations of beloved classic songs woven together with modern music by this incredible live band for a raging dance party. The goal of the PoWow! is for artists and audience to share a transcendent experience of connection and shared energy as these stars align at Okeechobee for the very first time!”
