The sound of reggae has been a strong draw for a family of Floridians who find dub to be their bliss. Two fathers, along with two sons plus two pals form the reggae/dub music group Root Sea. This original company of serious musicians currently plays in Northeast Florida and will be performing at the 2023 Sing Out Loud festival.

The band Small Disasters embodies punk rock, from their extended vocal technique to their stripped-down instrumentation to their fast-tempo distorted guitar riffs. Performing in the 2023 Sing Out Loud festival, Small Disasters informs Nobby's of the true sound of punk rock. 

Vocalist and guitarist Jordon Henley and vocalist Eric Hasselman met at a music camp in 2018 and founded a band. The duo added drummer Charles Rentz and bassist Justin Lane, and this popular indie rock band started writing songs and taking off. 

In June of 2023, they released a full-length album, Found Dead, with ten songs that include “Let Us Not,” about which Daniel A. Brown from Jacksonville Music Experience said, “The opening hook and chorus are tasty in their amp-crunch, boasting an offhand guitar wallop straight from the J. Mascis/Doug Martsch playbook.”

Mike & The Nerve, an indie-punk rock band from Gainesville, infuses a fearless energy and unfiltered edge into their shows. With introspective lyrics, catchy refrains, crashing drums, and ringing guitar licks, the band creates deeply relatable and anthemic compositions.

The four-member group comprises Mike Llerena as frontman, Will Diaz on guitar and backing vocals, Nathaniel Fuller on bass and backing vocals, and Scott Marshall on drums. 

Graves B'hamala, a modern psychedelic rock group from Jacksonville, Florida, transports listeners back to the iconic sounds of the 1960s with their immersive and original compositions.

The group consists of musicians Evan Carey (vocals/guitar), Harry Winston (bass), and Morgan Mashburn (drums).

The band fuses elements of rock, blues, psychedelia, indie, and funk to create a sonic kaleidoscope of groovy, genre-blurring tunes. They use various effects, such as reverb, delay, and modulation, to craft their atmospheric sound.

Josh Gluck writes music, sings, plays guitar, and fronts the band Josh Gluck & The Family Tree. Josh and his bandmates have released an EP, Welcome Home, which aptly shows their range and skills, as well as their philosophy that people are more similar to each other than they are different. They work to spread that belief through their music.

Wax Wings proudly stands at the crossroads of tradition and innovation. The southern folk-rock ensemble from Gainesville combines heartfelt vocals with skillful instrumentation to create an indelible impression on listeners. This authenticity and dedication to their craft earned the band a loyal following and garnered well-deserved attention, including a notable feature on NPR. 

If it feels as though Jeremy Rogers is a ubiquitous presence in the St. Augustine music scene, it's because he is. Beyond pursuing his solo career, this singer-songwriter is active in various homegrown bands, including Ghost Tropic, Wobbly Toms, Sweetest Punch, and Terror Management Band.

From Jacksonville, the indie pop/rock band Coyboi is the duo of Cortnie Frazier and Ihlan Maglore. Both have been active members of the Jacksonville music scene for years, playing with various cover bands and in studio sessions.

They formed Coyboi in August 2020 to create music that uses their favorite genres: soul, R&B, rock, and emo music. With Coyboi, Cortnie and Ihlan get to create and play the music they want to create and play and take their music in any direction they choose. Their sound draws from pop, gospel, jazz, and rock.
