In many ways an amalgam of High Sierra, Jam Cruise and Jazz Fest, Bear Creek is an experience all its own. The brainchild of Paul Levine and Lyle Williams, Bear Creek bills itself as a dance festival – “a blur of music and color, a family reunion in the woods.”

Upful Life
"In the vibrant, horn-heavy heart of New Orleans, an enigmatic new squad is bubbling up from the underground club scene. A self-described psychedelic-rock outfit, Atom Cat is carving out a space in the Crescent City’s crowded ecosystem with a sound built on stylistic commingling, ambitious adventures in loud rock n’ roll, and an unflappable faith in the concept of “Cat Music.”“This band was ready to be born,” says bassist Blue Carl, his voice carrying the humble reverence of someone who knows he’s merely holding the leash of a very large, very loud animal. “It would have happened with or without us. I’m just grateful to have been scooped up and along for the ride".”A window into one of the most exciting young bands on the NOLA underground, just as the masses of music maniacs descend on the Crescent City for our annual Jazz Fest bacchanalia. ~ my latest via @liveforlivemusic ~***LlNQ lN Bl0***#nola #psychedelicrock #neworleans #atomcat ...
