Southern gospel music on the banks of the Suwannee

Several thousand Southern gospel music lovers enjoyed Southern gospel music at its best during the 21st Annual Suwannee River Jubilee at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak over the weekend of June 12-14.

Sponsored by the Dixie Echoes and billed as gospel music’s premier camping and concert experience on the banks of the famous Suwannee River, it was a great gathering with some of the best gospel groups in the US - the Dixie Echoes, Chuck Wagon Gang, Primitive Quartet, Palmetto State, the Greenes, Kingsmen and the Lesters.

If you love gospel music and you missed this great event, don’t fret. The annual fall Suwannee River Jubilee, also sponsored by the Dixie Echoes, will be held Oct. 2-4 at the SOSMP.
