Take a full moon, throw in Friday the 13th, and add a little New Orleans voodoo and you have a recipe for the best kept secret in Alabama--the annual Alexander City Jazz Fest this weekend.

Friday, June 13, starting at 6 p.m. the music gets going early with Guitar Slim Barnes. High-energy zydefunk artist Sunpie Barnes & the Louisiana Sunspots will be the second act Friday night and Birmingham-based St. Paul & the Broken Bones will light up the lakeside following opener Chad Fisher on Saturday night.

Strong headlining acts will top off both evenings. The Dirty Guv'nahs and will headline Friday night in downtown Alex City at Strand Park and Green River Ordinance will close the show Saturday at the Lake Martin Amphitheater. Admission is free. Bring your chairs, blankets and coolers and let the good times roll.
