Rob Slater on March 7, 2016


Over the weekend, Miguel, Win Butler, John Oates and many others came together for Okeechobee’s answer to Bonnaroo’s Superjam, the “PoWoW!” event on Saturday night. Over the course of the night, Eric Krasno, George Porter Jr., Zigaboo Modeliste, Neal Evans, Kamasi Washington, Preservation Hall Jazz Band and others joined in for covers of Led Zeppelin, Marvin Gaye, The Clash, Drake and others.

Rolling Stone has premiered a pro-shot video of one of two David Bowie tributes on the evening. Win Butler joined the fold early on to lead the ensemble on vocals for “Fame” before also helming “Rebel Rebel.”

After the performance, Butler said, “David Bowie is alive. There’s no one that lives and touches that many people that doesn’t live forever. Perfect human. A perfect man. We’re lucky to be on Earth at the same time.”
