5 favorites from the Downtown River Jam

Posted by: admin | December 22nd, 2014

After my introduction to several fantastic Florida bands at Bear Creek Music Festival, I realized I didn’t know as much about the Florida scene as I thought. So when the time came to attend the Downtown River Jam in St. Petersburg, I was more than ready to get better acquainted.

On Friday and Saturday, December 5-6, four venues in the St. Pete area came together to showcase some amazing regional musicians. I live in Orlando, so I was only in town for Saturday, and a bit of unfortunate scheduling meant having to choose between some bands I wanted to see, but here are a few of my favorites from the day. 

Featuring Widespread Panic, Greg Allman, Gov't Mule & many more!
