Hmmmmmmmm, Ultimate Spinach? Sacred Mushroom? Dead Meadow... kinda Gandalf The Magic Mushrooms Weird Owl The Zombies Quest for Fire Them The Orange Alabaster Mushroom Mystic Astrologic Crystal Band Morgen Morning Dew The Hobbits Children Of The Mushroom Andwella's Dream Just some off the top of my head.. I dunno if all of these are classified as Hippie tunes.. but maybe you'll like some of them.
Far-out man, all those bands sound groovy I will DL them right now and check them out. I will let you know what I think of the music...
Fleet Foxes, Grizzly Bear, Department of Eagles, Cave Singers. Once you get on that road...it takes you places, man.
You should list the groups you know, so we know what you know. Van (the man) Morrison Donovon Early Moody Blues (after Go Now but before Seventh Sojourn) Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Yard Birds (band members included Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page) Eric Burdon Grand Funk Railroad (not Grand Funk) Roy Buchanan Spenser Davis J. Geils Hot Tuna Dave Mason John Sabastian/Lovin Spoonful Leon Russell The Hollies (Graham Nash) Early Deep Purple Emerson, Lake, and Palmer
Support local music. Start hitting the festival scene and you will find a ton of local hippie type bands. Or start going to bars that cater to hippie/alternative types on music night. Follow those type of bands and you will find like-minded people. You will also get to know the band members. My friends and I have bonfires and many of the musicians will stop by and pick by the fire. It makes for a beautiful night.
Hey mellow, what are you digging now? I use www.jambase.com as a location spot. Often YouTube will have related video, and I have found a couple great new to me folkies that way. Look in the music forum, here as well. Jam bands are under Grateful Dead and Phish. (yes, that is like putting all guitarists under, say, Frank Zappa) Other genres are represented in sub forums. Americana falls in folk and old time bluegrass, usually.
