The Gypsy Chyx, composed of Wendy Kissinger and Lynn Mathis, combine harmonies, acoustic guitar, and a bit of harmonica to create a laid-back sound that spans from the 70s to contemporary music. Both Wendy and Lynn are accomplished on the guitar and both have strong, clear singing voices, each able to take the lead or to harmonize with the other.

The Pemberwicks have played many St. Augustine venues since they formed in 2012. Brian Washburn on guitar and lead vocals, Yvan Kelly on bass and vocals, and Marc Rittman on drums play classic covers from The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, and others.

In 2013, they released a CD of original music and include these and other original songs when they perform.

When Wildfire Rising hits the stage, you can hear the influence of music from the past as well as more contemporary groups, such as the Tedeschi Trucks Band. The members are from Northeast Florida and come naturally to their bluesy, swampy, Southern rock expansive sound. Drummer Sebastian Stuto and Bassist Ivan Pulley lay down the rythym and backbone of each song, while Michael Calderin generates a synergistic statement on electric guitar.

True (Andrew) Adkins moved to Florida from Dallas, Texas — perhaps that's why he lists "Bull Rider" as one of his job skills. True is an exceptional guitarist, songwriter, and performer who plays frequently along Florida's Northeast coast.

In St. Augustine, catch him at The Mill Top Tavern and other venues. Whether he's playing a cover, singing one of his own songs, or performing a guitar solo, he is sure to impress and move you.

Vivacious and powerful, St. Augustine, Florida's Joe Moody incorporates acoustic alternative, hip hop, rock and roll, funk, and blues. On stage, Joe puts forth an unfailing and monumental energy that is not only lively and spirited, but highly potent. Turning an audience to his charm in a matter of minutes, Joe keeps crowds on their toes by providing a playlist of dynamic genres as well as tempo.

Three-piece band, Underway, plays covers and originals around the town of St. Augustine. With Ben Haley as lead man, who plays rhythm guitar and sings lead vocals, Keith Justice on lead guitar and vocals, and Damian Kemper on drums and vocals, this group brings their solo acts together, creating a blended sound.

Billy Bob Duo is not, as you might expect, Billy Bob and another guy. Instead, Billy and Bob, two adept musicians and singer songwriters, have formed a popular duo playing rock, country, and southern rock, with just two instruments — guitar and violin.

Ben Haley plays many of the familiar songs that audiences love to hear.  Find his show, which also includes Ben's original songs, at the Casa Monica in St. Augustine. Ben also plays with the band "Underway."

Ian Opalinski is an acoustic soloist with an excellent voice for performing songs of the 60s and 70s — songs by Neil Young, America, The Beatles, Tom Petty, JJ Cale, Jackson Browne, The Eagles, Bread, The Cars, and more. He explained, "Preserving songs of the 60s and 70s is important to me."

Ian is comfortable at the mic, whether singing or interacting with the audience, and frequently invites the crowd to join him in the chorus or to take the lead in songs that are obviously their favorites, too.

The Dunehoppers play folk and Americana with what one member describes as an "old-time configuration." 

The group is led by fiddler Alan Hood. He's usually joined by Mike Elias on guitar, Bob Parsons on mandolin, Brian Lappin on banjo, and Janine Rainville on bass. Just as the members of old-time folk and dance bands ebbed and flowed depending on which musicians could attend the barn dance, this band's members ebb and flow because of jobs, summer visits north, and other gigs.
