The eighth annual Suwannee Spring Reunion returns to the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Fla., on March 19-22, 2026. Following tradition, a roster of bands and artists that touch on Americana, newgrass, bluegrass, folk, and blues foundations will participate in the imminent event, which coincides with the Spring Equinox. In addition to a sizable offering of top-notch performers, the occasion invites attendees to participate in hands-on music workshops, activities, wellness offerings, and more while camping under the Spanish-moss-coated branches. 

Larkin Poe, Steep Canyon Rangers, Keller & The Keels, Sam Grisman Project, Donna The Buffalo, Peter Rowan with Sam Grisman Project playing music from Old & In The Way, Jerry Douglas with Peter Rowan, Shawn Camp, Jim Lauderdale & The Game Changers, SCYTHIAN, Verlon Thompson, and the Jon Stickley Trio have all signed on to participate in The Sunshine State event. 

Meanwhile, multi-instrumentalist John Mailander will serve as Artist-at-Large, lending his refined skill set and standard for musical shapeshifting across different stages come March. Also on the list are Hattie & Joe Craven Quartet, The Grass Is Dead, Mosier Brothers Band, David Gans, Denitia, Chloe Kimes, Tire Fire, and Sunnyside Stringband. During the event, a variety of stages and performance areas will be set up, including Big Cosmo’s Amphitheater, The Dance Tent, Music Hall, and the Music Farmers Stage at The Back Porch.

Festival director Beth Judy says, “It excites me to bring a wide selection of new artists to our Suwannee Spring Reunion line-up, along with some favorites we have not seen in a while! Many cherished performers who have long been a part of our Suwannee Family round out the roster in keeping with the spirit of our yearly reunion, which kicks off the spring festival season. There is truly something for everyone!”
