Lauris Vidal connects with his audience through his infectious onstage charisma. The folk artist and Ormond Beach native infuses emotional depth and energy into every performance. Ever dedicated to his craft, Vidal becomes a one-man band, playing multiple homemade instruments during his shows.

Lauris Vidal's influences include folk, blues, and indie rock. He channels these styles into a sound he calls "kitchen sink beat blues." Behind his custom drum setup, Vidal showcases his mastery of guitar, tenor banjo, ukulele, and the lap steel guitar.

His parents' love for music inspired Luis Mario Peral to begin his musical journey at a young age. His ear for melody and his knack for composition led him to write music for renowned performers such as "The Queen of Salsa" Celia Cruz and Oscar D'Leon. Peral continues to create Latin jazz compositions, spanning genres such as Bolero, Rumba, Cha-chas, Merengue, and Salsa.

Kairos Creature Club, founded by Jacksonville locals Lena Simon and Glenn Michael Van Dyke, brings to the stage a kaleidoscope of cerebral music experimentation and artistic rebellion. With a DIY attitude, the group combines krautrock and trash pop elements that resonate with listeners who have a rebellious streak.

Kairos Creature Club uses synthetic sounds to create a sonic signature that refuses to sit squarely in any single genre. The band's unbridled creativity transcends the conventions of mainstream music, all the while piecing together powerful hooks and melodies.

Parks and Razz burst onto the Jacksonville music scene in 2021 with high-energy indie pop/rock and an unrelenting drive. They quickly became a staple act at popular venues such as Jackrabbits and the 1904 Music Hall. Now, they're tackling bigger stages and ambitious recording projects.

Ellen Moseley writes honest songs — sometimes about things that make us smile, sometimes about the harsher side of life. She excels at simple, unexpected, and descriptive lyrics. Christiana Patterson has played her violin with several groups and Northeast Florida musicians, including the Wobbly Toms and Ghost Tropic. Since Ellen and Christiana are both "lefties," they named their duo SouthPaw. 

Based in Jacksonville and self-described as a "vintage tribe with a 'Kreepy' vibe," The Kreepy Tikis offer as unique a genre combination as anyone could imagine. The band's distinctive style and sound stems from their creative fusion of '60s surf rock with shock rock elements.

Based in Ocala, this anti-folk outfit entertains audiences with its minimalist compositions and narrative lyrics. The duo behind the band, Taylor Schoenborn and Kyle Corley, explores life's eccentricities with a ukulele, a banjo, a bass guitar, and an infectious sense of wonder.

You never quite know when GREENNESS will next take to the stage. Created in 2004, this Florida-based band creates instrumental tracks with a math rock flare. Their sounds fill the venue like a mage’s spell or a heavy mist through the swamp. Licks that layer, clash, and linger meet bursting percussion in each of their songs. Indeed, the cover for GREENNESS’s track “In Fond Remembrance of Doug Keith. Wait, He’s Still Alive. I Need to Call Him.” features a collage of skateboarders  — an appropriate visualization of the band’s sound, which could be described as ‘organized chaos.’
