The Bear Creek Music and Art Festival, November 11-14, 2010 at The Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida has announced a third round of artist additions. Bear Creek welcomes back Umphrey’s McGee for two headlining shows on 11/11 and 11/12. The London Souls will make their first Bear Creek appearances, as will Papadosio and Lingo. Saltwater Grass, The Soular System and Curious Circus return to Bear Creek once again. Artist-at-large additions include saxman Pee Wee Ellis and Motet vocalist Jans Ingber.

The addition of Pee Wee Ellis, who will join Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley on the bill, rounds out the presence of The JBs, aka The James Brown Horns, at Bear Creek.
