New Guys on the Dock is a great example of what happens when the right two musicians get together to have fun and play music.

Scott Oglevee and Tom Hutcheson have each been business owners, moved to St. Augustine from elsewhere, and performed siolo and in groups for years.

Scott, an inventive song-writer and a much in demand cover act, has a strong following all along the East Coast of the U.S. Tom, originally from Colorado, has sought the opportunity to play congas and jam with individuals and groups from Colorado to Georgia to St. Augustine.

Mallory Jen, a solo performer, singer, and songwriter also enjoys creating music with various friends. Originally from Georgia, she's lived and performed there and in New Orleans before moving to the St. Augustine area. Along the way Mallory Jen has been fortunate to play music with folks she consider to be "awesome" people and musicians. She calls them the "Darlings."

When three local St. Augustine musicians decided they simply enjoyed playing together and with others, they formed The Stragglers, a three piece band with Mike Elias on mandolin, guitar, and vocals; Jim Quine on guitar and vocals; and Bill Austin on bass. The Stragglers primarily play roots or Americana music, as Mike said, "We don't like to label musical genres but sometimes ya gotta go there." They also don't limit their group to just the core three musicians, and named the band to commemorate how their musician friends frequently "straggle in" and play a few songs with them.

Originally from Georgia, Dustin Monk moved to Jacksonville when he was 19 and joined a pop/punk band. Later, he began performing as a solo singer/songwriter, describing his style as having "country/blues, hip-hop, and rock and roll influences."

Recently, Dustin and three other musicians and vocalists have formed Dustin Monk and the Hustle, a band that has been active in Jacksonville and St. Augustine. In addition to Dustin on rhythm guitar and vocals, the band includes Mike Ireland on lead guitar, Wayne Cannon on bass, and Heather Wakefield on keyboards and vocals.

Grammy Award-winning bassist Trae Pierce has toured with James Brown, Robert Plant, Dr. Hook, and the Blind Boys of Alabama. Now he has pulled together a cast of young, talented, and high-energy musicians to form Trae Pierce and the T-Stones (TPTS).

With Trae Pierce (of course) on bass and vocals, Ramon (Rae) Pierce on drums and vocals, and Josh Grimes on keyboards and vocals, the T-Stones mission is to "funk you up."

Chanteuse Miranda Madison started singing and dancing at a young age, encouraged by her musician parents. Early in her career, she was the lead vocalist in a country and western band and paid tribute to some of country music's iconic women stars, such as Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, and Tammy Wynette.

St. Augustine's Jivewire, a self-described "funkalicious and rock-ifying" cover band, always gets people moving to their groove. They play covers familiar to those who danced to Hall & Oats in the 70s as well as to those who have Maroon 5 on their playlist.

The members of Jivewire are Alexander Miller on lead guitar and vocals, Julien Dourneaux on guitar and vocals, Lane Whalin on bass guitar, and Andy Robillard on drums and vocals.

Founded in Jacksonville in 2005 by guitarist and singer/songwriter Jeff Congo and drummer Tim Crawford, Austin Park is a modern country/rock band that performs a both covers and their original songs.

In addition to Jeff Congo and Tim Crawford, the band includes Peter Dearing on guitar and back-up vocals, Jeff Compton on lead guitar, and Bizzy TheMachine on bass.

Wild Weeds is the brainchild of Germaine Veronica, of I Like Dandelions, an artist-driven music project that embraces the creative and collaborative process of all songwriters. Wild Weeds is comprised of Germaine Veronica, Emma Moseley, and Ellen Moseley, three women singer/songwriters with diverse styles and a common drive—to write and perform their own songs and to share their humor, knowledge, and innovation.

St Augustine native, Emma Moseley, began performing in clubs before she was of legal age to do so, having been invited to play at an open mike at Trade Winds Lounge when she was only 13. A few years later, she co-founded the Emma Moseley Band and was a songwriter and lead vocalist for this highly acclaimed hard-charging rock band. The Emma Moseley Band played original rock and roll at venues, events, and major festivals, and recorded two well-received full-length albums.
