SPIRIT OF THE SUWANNEE MUSIC PARK, LIVE OAK, FLA –

The very first Jambando In The Park will be held Sept. 17-18 at the fabulous Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park (SOSMP) located on the banks of the famous Suwannee River in Live Oak, Fla!

Jambando was born in 2003 from an idea for the Orlando Fringe Festival, then further developing through an ongoing concert series at The World Famous Hard Rock Live. Jambando makes its current home at The Historic Plaza Theatre in Downtown Orlando’s “Milk District.” Each concert is created through a collective group of musicians and volunteers and is a united and conscious effort to establish a “musical brand” for multi-genre Central Florida music, a mark of quality that has inspired a movement and fostered a community of local and regional music fans proud to call Jambando their own.
