LIVE OAK, FLA. — It is a great weekend at The Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park (SOSMP) in Live Oak, Fla. for enjoying some great country/Southern rock, dancing, enjoying great food and company and maybe even some outdoor activities! Two of your favorite bands will be in the Music Hall, Jukebox Oldies and Mainstream Band! It’s definitely a good time to be at the SOSMP so come spend the entire weekend!

Valdosta’s Jukebox Oldies Band will take the stage Friday, Feb. 22, in the Music Hall with the greatest hits of the ‘50s-’80s and more! This band is a big favorite for dancers who fill the floor with their best moves when Jukebox Oldies come to the SOSMP.

Band members are Bo Martin, Mike Dame, CF Sirmans, Stacy Sirmans, Billy Folsom and Larry Dean. These guys love to play AM radio hits from the ‘60s but play ‘50s-’80s music also. The band’s motto is Good Times, Great Oldies …Songs You Can Sing Along To “Cause You Know The Words!” 

The band’s influences are the Beatles, BB King, Buddy Holly, Rolling Stones, Roy Orbison and The Tams. SWhen this band comes to the SOSMP you can set those dancing shoes on fire dancing the night away! Don’t forget those dancing shoes!

Saturday is set for off the charts good music with Mainstream Band, a Valdosta country/Southern rock band. Band members are Jack Brinson (lead vocals/guitar), Antonio Ruiz (bass), Chris Bell (drums), Steve Taylor (keyboard) and Mike Ritchea (lead guitar).
