Collage Concert: The River City Rhythm Kings

The 2025/26 Romanza's Collage Concert Series

Presenting Musicians Affiliated with UNF's Jazz Program

The Romanza Festivale presents Romanza's Collage Concert Series on select Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. at the St. Augustine Waterworks. This season, Romanza is celebrating the wealth of talent found in the University of North Florida's (UNF) Jazz program. Each of the four Waterworks performances presents a different jazz ensemble affiliated with UNF.

Book your tickets and swing, tap your feet, and sway during the Romanza Collage concerts celebrating jazz and the jazz musicians who are professors, alumni, and friends of the University of North Florida's jazz studies program.

These ticketed concerts are fundraisers for the annual Romanza Festivale, which offers four weeks of arts performances, exhibitions, and author conversations every spring in St. Augustine.

In January: The River City Rhythm Kings

On Saturday, January 24, from 7:30 to 9:15 p.m., Romanza presents the River City Rhythm Kings.

It's always time to celebrate the sounds of Dixieland Jazz, with music from the 1920s through the 1940s. The River City Rhythm Kings have gotten toes tapping and hips swinging since 1987. They strive to pay homage to the small groups of great musicians who played jazz music around the country and on the radio. This small group from North Florida is comprised of Jim Garee on trumpet, Bill Prince on clarinet, Marc Dickman on Trombone, Ken Calhoun on banjo, Bill Cain on drums, and Aaron Kinman on bass.

Admission: $30.00 per person. Purchase tickets in advance. 

When: From 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 24, 2026

Where: St. Augustine Waterworks, 184 San Marco Avenue, St. Augustine, Florida 32084 

Getting There: While the address is 184 San Marco Avenue, the only driveway on San Marco is Exit Only, so you can not enter the Waterworks driveway from there. Access to the Waterworks is through the St. Augustine Main Library parking lot, on the opposite side of the complex. (Use 1960 North Ponce de Leon in your GPS.)
