Dr. John and the Nite Trippers | Savannah Music Festival 2013

The Savannah Music Festival is dedicated to presenting a world-class celebration of the musical arts by creating timeless and adventurous productions that stimulate arts education, foster economic growth, and unite artists and audiences in Savannah. It is the largest musical arts event in Georgia and one of the most distinctive cross-genre music festivals in the world.

Since 2003, the Savannah Music Festival has grown a music education program that is unlike that of any arts organization in the region. It is rooted in our belief that the arts are fundamental to the cognitive, affective, physical and intellectual development of all children. These programs reach more than 20,000 youth each year throughout Savannah and the surrounding five counties.

There are many meaningful ways to get involved with the Savannah Music Festival. The success of our organization is driven by a supportive community of patrons, interns, volunteers and partner organizations. Find out how you can get involved.

Each year, ticket sales amount to only 40% of SMF’s annual $3 million budget. As a non-profit organization, generous support from dedicated individuals, corporations, government entities and foundations enables us to perpetuate our unique artistic vision and strive toward future goals. With a tax-deductible contribution, you can provide vital assistance to our community music education programs and help keep the music playing at SMF!

Savannah, the historic riverside birthplace of Georgia, was settled in 1733 and is one of the few major cities in the South with antebellum charm and architecture remaining intact. The Historic District with its public squares provide endless amounts of strolling and exploring. Please view this directory of local businesses and community partners when making your travel plans.

Dr. John and the Nite Trippers

About the performance

Multiple GRAMMY award-winner Dr. John (a.k.a. Mac Rebennack) was inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame in 2011 for his lifetime contribution to the art form. His continuation of the New Orleans musical tradition, from his early writing and performance credits on classic recordings by Professor Longhair, Art Neville, Joe Tex and Frankie Ford., cemented his reputation as a New Orleans giant, and Rolling Stone Magazine recently praised Dr. John for returning to

his Crescent City roots, calling his latest recording "...the wildest record Rebennack has made in many years...full of muscled, vintage R&B grooves, fevered soloing, psychedelic arrangements and oracular mumbo jumbo." Be prepared for an evening filled with voodoo mysticism, funk, rhythm & blues, psychedelic rock and Creole roots.
