Savannah Stopover releases full schedule, adds even more bands

Well the full Savannah Stopover schedule is now available, and obviously there are some tough choices. With 105 bands playing in three days, there is simply no way to see every act. (Btw, I really like the Sched app that allows you to negotiate the lineup and chart your own course in advance.)
