Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida is the site of this annual music festival, displaying a wide variety of roots music. Folk icon Richie Havens is among the performers appearing at Springfest. Others include the Emmitt Nershi Band, Swamp Cabbage (with a sound reminiscent of ZZ Top), Darrell Scott and the acoustic folk duo Mike Merenda and Ruth Unger.
Annie Wenz, a regular at the festival, recently released an instrumental CD entitled Winds of the World, combining Native American flute, guitar, and drum music inspired by her travels.
