—In the wake of Robert Randolph having to cancel his set at the 2008 Langerado Festival, his friends and fellow sacred steel musicians The Lee Boys will fill his Saturday late-night closing slot on the Swamp Stage on Sunday, March 9th from 12:30-2:30 A.M. Their performance will follow headliners R.E.M., who will grace the Everglades Stage that evening from 9:30-11:30 P.M. The 6th annual festival takes pace March 6-9th in the Big Cypress Reservation in Everglades National Park, Florida. Other performers include Medeski, Martin, Scofield & Woods, 311, Beastie Boys, Ani DeFranco, Gov’t Mule, Ben Folds, Avett Brothers and Phil Lesh & Friends.
2008 is promising to be a big year for The Lee Boys. In addition to Langerado, they will perform at BONNAROO, The New Orleans’ Jazz & Heritage Festival, High Sierra, Memphis in May, Summercamp, Cornerstone Festival, and many more of the country’s most prestigious festivals.
