Lineup Additions
It is with great pleasure that we announce that Bernie Worrell will be joining the party as a special guest artist, sitting in this year with Third Stone and as an artist-at-large. Many of you will recall that Bernie was the original keyboard/sythesizer player with Parliment/ Funkadelic. He is also well known for his many years touring with the Talking Heads.
Old friends Cadillac Jones and Jacksonville’s Saltwater Grass have been added to Bear Creek, as well as a second show by The Ryan Montbleau Band.
We have added guitar slingers Matt Grondin (Inca Maya) and Cameron Williams (Tishamingo) and trombonist Jonathan Lloyd (Dubconscious and Cadillac Jones) to the mix as artists-at-large.
Bobby Lee Rogers will be joining the Donna Hopkins Band for their Bear Creek set.

Sunday's Schedule Announced
We realize that many of you have jobs, school and life to get back to after your Bear Creek experience. We suggest ignoring these realities for an extra day because you should NEVER MISS SUNDAY AT BEAR CREEK. We think the Sunday schedule is so funkalicious that missing the day could be considered funk blasphemy. Check out the Bear Creek Sunday schedule and start making your travel plans for the weekend. The full schedule will be announced on Tuesday, September 29.

Feed the Hungry
In the spirit of the holidays and charity, particularly during such difficult financial times, we are humbled to announce that the Bear Creek Music and Art Festival will be hosting a food drive to support our friends at The Food Bank of Suwannee Valley. This organization has been feeding thousands of area residents over many years. Please bring canned and non-perishable goods to Bear Creek and leave them in our receptacle barrels. Everyone has a few items buried deep in your pantries that you never use. We assure you that this food will help a hungry person sleep better at night having something good in their stomch.
Feed the Hungry Disc Golf
We are also thrilled to announce the second Bear Creek Feed the Hungry Disc Golf Tournament. The Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park now has an 18 hole disc golf course. In order to raise funds for The Food Bank of Suwannee Valley, the Bear Creek Music Festival is pleased to announce that it is hosting a fun, casual and charitable disc golf tournament during the festival.
Tournament schedule & details will be announce in the coming months.
