First annual Blackwater lineup announced

The walls in America’s oldest European settlement will reverberate roots-rock and soul on Sept. 2 during JJ Grey & MOFRO’s first ever Blackwater Sol Revue. As if the alligator farm in St. Augustine, Fla. wasn’t thrilling enough, now the tourist town will host Grammy award-winners Los Lobos, “swamp funk” artist Tony Joe White, MOFRO itself and others for a festival christening a newly renovated amphitheater.

The festival lasts but a day, freeing the rest of the weekend for good times at the beach, fort and - no foolin’ – Fountain of Youth National Archaeological Park. If you want to fill a $20 dollar glass bottle from the gift shop with hellishly sulfurous agua that will haunt your taste buds for years to come (maybe forever?), go for it.
