Originally from Palm Coast, just south of St. Augustine, Alexis Peramas brings an unbridled energy to his live performances, unshackling the reservation and restriction of ego, and breaking down the coquina walls of resistance between audience and performer. He has a remarkable sense for connecting with crowds and has an exceptional feel for his songs. This translates to Alexis' work as a drummer as well, as he has recorded with local staple musicians The Young Step, Shea Birney, and Earth Walker.

St. Augustine's Flagged Van is a symphony of sound, bringing with them a modern outlook and blurring the lines of expectation. A party band if there ever was one, Flagged Van is bound and determined to leave audiences feeling high on life. This six-piece ensemble blends psychedelic rock, jam band, funk, reggae, rock, and pop to create a sound that has brought Flagged Van a reputation for being an easy-listening party band.

This local duo is comprised of long-time friends Conor Bertha and Dylan Parra. These two gentlemen have brought a completely new, youthful outlook on music and sound engineering to St. Augustine. Their experimental nature seeps through in both their studio production as well as their live performances. Using everything from which to record a sound, from pennies and glass bottles to plastic bags and even light-switches, this dynamic duo doesn't hold back when it comes to trying new ways of completing their masterpieces.

Ask anyone in St. Augustine about Papercutt, and they'll tell you the same thing: The band is crazy fun and highly entertaining to watch on stage. Playing 80s "hair rock," the band members play the 80s rockstar role to the T, donning neon-colored spandex of every hue, applying eyeliner, and carrying bottles of Malibu rum onto the stage. 

The intrinsic nature of St. Augustine's Observatory is mellow, present, and overall undemanding, much like a day in the summer sun with little responsibility. Listening to Observatory incites a philosophical conversation within oneself, reaching into matters of the heart, core life principles, and the crux of the human condition, while simultaneously stimulating the body to move through the stresses of the physical realm. The band's live performances are highly rehearsed, but also leave members room to breathe and improvise as the moment sees fit.

Originally from Venezuela,  Marianne Lerbs is a linguist with skills in several artistic disciplines. She is as well-known as a sculptor as she is as a guitarist and singer. 

Marianne began as a classical guitarist, immersed in Bach and Segovia. She ventured into the jazz realm, where she picked up influences from other musicians and vocalists. Then she studied world music, enjoying the variety of rhythms and techniques found only in certain regions of the world. She blends classical, jazz, and world music into a nostalgic sound that carries a refreshing newness. 

St. Augustine's four-piece ensemble Ain't Too Proud to Beg is a festive carousel of entertainment, delighting in audience involvement, a lively dance floor, and the overall jovial spirit music has to offer. Offering a concoction of pop, blues, classic rock, '70s and '80s funk, jazz, and their own original funky tunes, Ain't Too Proud to Beg has one goal in mind once they take the stage - fun, and lots of it. The band's inspirations and influences range from Jimi Hendrix to Mick Taylor and even Jeff Beck, encompassing a large spectrum of genres.

This popular band in St. Augustine stopped performing after the death of harmonica player and vocalist, "Long John" Higginbotham, in July of 2017. A beloved member of the St Augustine music scene, John is still missed by friends, family, and lovers of great music sung in a rich, deep voice.

More recently, guitarist Rick Levy and bassist Jeff Ganz, have been performing as "The Bones," billed as "The duo that sounds like two guys."
