It's always warm, sunny, and green in Florida.
Even in February. And that's why the Virginia Key Grassroots Festival is coming back for a third straight year. "It's getting cold up north, chilly in NC, and settling around 80 degrees in Miami," the Grassroots folks and fest founders Donna the Buffalo explain. "We know where we're headed!"
And by we, they mean Choc Quib Town, MC Yogi, and the Del McCoury Band, not to mention SoFla's own Elastic Bond, Locos Por Juana, MINIMAL, the Resolvers, Sosos, Spam Allstars, Suénalo, and Uproot Hootenanny.
Just check the cut for the Virginia Key Grassroots 2014 lineup so far.
