Charlie Wheeler Band - Highway Run CD

Though based in the northeast, Charlie Wheeler Band populates some of the same musical terrain as The Allman Brothers Band, Gov't Mule, and Drive-By Truckers – a rock sound firmly planted in the blues and bayous, but with a spiritual depth that goes beyond the tag of "Southern Rock."
Lifeboat is the first solo album from American guitar phenomenon Jimmy Herring, known for his amazing guitar work with the Allman Brothers, The Dead, Phil Lesh, Aquarium Rescue Unit, Jazz is Dead and currently holding down the lead guitar chair for Widespread Panic.

Featuring A-list musicians Oteil Burbridge (Allman Brothers) on bass, Jeff Sipe (Jonas Hellborg/Shawn Lane, Aquarium Rescue Unit) on Drums, and Kofi Burbridge (Derek Trucks Band) on flute and keyboards.

Joining the core line up as special guests are Derek Trucks on slide guitar, Greg Osby on saxophones, Ike Stubblefield on organ, Matt Slocum on the clavinet and Bobby Lee Rodgers on thytm guitar, Tyler Greenwell on drums and Scott Kinsey on the organ.

With Lifeboat, Jimmy Herring is poised to move from sideman to the center of the stage. Lifeboat is a wide-ranging work that encompasses various musical genres: rock, jam, jazz and blues. From foot stomping southern-flavored rockers to modern bop and fusion to a cover of the Wayne Shorter composition "Lost" and melodic pieces full of subtlety and nuance, the music of Lifeboat allows Jimmy to express a full-range of emotions through his guitar.

Lifeboat is ready for preorders at Home Grown Music and first 10 preorders will receive signed copies of this record.

Yet another new venue for the festivals 7th edition.

Lagerado 2009 will happen Friday March 6, Saturday March 7 and Sunday March 8 at Bicentennial Park, nestled alongside Biscayne Bay in the heart of downtown Miami. The 7th annual Langerado will feature 3 full days of live music on multiple stages spread throughout Bicentennial Park's 30 acres of lush tropical foliage.  Late night shows will take place at multiple venues throughout Miami, including downtown, the Design District and world famous South Beach.

Based on the size of the venue, we'd assume that there will be no options for camping onsite.

More details and initial lineup will be announced in November.
