Sunfest 2009

For the past few years artists have tended to exclude south Florida from their national tours because of its relative isolation from the heart of the country. Its just been too expensive to drive that far south. However one event that has consistently attracted popular performers to south Florida is Sunfest and the 2009 lineup looks like the best that we've seen. Need more incentive - the festival is located in the nicest section of West Palm Beach right on Flagler Drive - overlooking the Intercoastal Waterway. The promoters are right on when they exclaim "Where Music Meets the Waterfront".

No wonder the artists flock to this event. We are talking about 311, Citizen Cope, James Taylor, Slightly Stoopid, Randy Bachman, Collective Soul, Pepper, David Cook, Cold War Kids, UB40, Need To Breathe, G. Love & Special Sauce, Matt Nathanson, Bettye Lavette, and the Steve Miller Band. And this list doesn't include dozens of other excellent Reggae, Rock, Pop, Jazz, Americana, and Acoustic artists that will be performing throughout the festival.

The 2009 Sunfest runs from Wednesday April 29th through Sunday May 3rd. Tickets range from a one day early bird pass (purchase by April 26th) for $29 to a five day pass for $65 ($60 early bird). What a bargain compared to other festivals. Most festivals of this size charge close to $100 for just 3 days of music (See the Austin City Limits festival); but Sunfest, 5 days for $60-$65. Come on. This is an awesome event. You will be sure that MyJoog.com editors will be onsite; there's no way we would miss this fest. And like most festivals we attend, feelfree to upload our photos of the event to the MyJoog Sunfest Facebook page. Now for the full lineup:
