Seabrook Music Festival

October 4-6

This, one of the region's fastest-growing festivals, is about nothing if not sonic diversity. The bigger names from the scores of acts scheduled to perform out near Clear Lake cover all the requisite genres. Ya got yer twang (the Derailers, Eleven Hundred Springs), jam (George DeVore), party (Joe "King" Carrasco), swamp (Damon Troy and Louisiana Beat) and blues (Dave Nevling & the Blues Kats, Tony Vega Band, John McVey). But what about the real telltale sign of a burgeoning fall festival? Will a one- to three-hit 1970s band be there? Gotcha covered. Light country rockers Firefall ("You Are the Woman," "Just Remember I Love You," "Strange Way") fill those shoes.
