Bonita Springs Annual Blues Festival

2012 Feedback

" ... Back in Germany remembering the Bonita Springs Blues Festival - you really did a great job, thanks! Here is my little story to "Trampled Under Foot":

I've been a week in Warsaw (Poland) and spent an evening in a little Cafe, where local artists perform. I got into a conversation with a musician named Amelia. She knows a lot about blues, mentioning the band "TUF" as extraordinary! Back in Germany, I went researching on them in the internet and I decided have to see them somehow. I went to their homepage, their tour dates and chose Bonita Springs as the place to go! And I am glad that I did. It has been a great Festival with great artists and an amazing performance of "TUF"! I am looking forward to come back again, maybe even next year.

Gator Nate

Saturday 11:30am

Gator Nate Augustus & Gladezmen - A true bluesman from the swamps of South Florida, GatorNate has been cranking out his brand of countryfied blues for a coons age. With influences ranging from southern rock to surf, and rockabilly to r&b, This one-man-band is sure to rock, whenever he escapes from the swamp, to your city.

With an exciting live show complete with Gator's sly harmonica work, coupled with his swampy slide guitar, full drumset (played with his feet), and his throaty baritone voice. Usually, Gator Nate is seen with his sidekick "Ant Killer", as accompaniment, with his menacing 7 foot swamp green doghouse bass, thumping and clicking the rhythm with precision.
