Don't miss it. Tallahassee has never been this wild.

Music at the Festival

 

Kick back while you bask in Tallahassee's beautiful spring weather, enjoy wonderful food and art, and appreciate this rare opportunity to observe all kinds of wildlife up close while listening to the very cool and soothing sounds of . . .

 

- Scott Campbell , guitar & Avis Berry, vocals

 

. . . Guitarist Scott Campbell shows a reverence and passion in his music. His deftness of touch must be inspired by love, for few pickers can pluck strings with such care.

David Lee Simmons

- Sammy Tedder, with friends, Joe Hutto on acoustic guitar, Rick Ott on electric guitar, Stan Gramling on bass and Mike Crouch on keyboard.
Since the mid '70's Sammy has been working with three Tallahassee area bands: Labamba (jazz/fusion), River Breeze (jazz/fusion) and Wakulla (eclectic blues/jazz/country-rock).

The world is an unknowable place. We live on its edges mostly, oblivious to its deeper essence. At times we all catch a glimpse, a moment when we know we are in the midst of something too big and wild to be understood.

To me, Sammy Tedder's music has always been about what lies beneath, what lies beyond. He uses his musical sense to draw us in, to hypnotize us and open us to other possibilities. And the possibilities are a sort of woodland mysticism where saxophones speak in tongues with frogs and summer thunder rolls in harmony with homemade flutes.

Sammy Tedder is a mature and polished musician who describes his north Florida home with sounds emanating from its core.
