Sweet William Ennis sings with a deep, resonant, and sweet voice, sharing original songs, many with a touch of the blues.

A long-time resident of Palatka, Sweet William performs frequently at Florida festivals and area venues. In 2018, he won the solo competition at the North Central Florida Blues Regional Challenge, earning the right to participate in the 2019 International Blues Challenge in Memphis.

While he writes songs in several genres, Sweet Willliam is particularly known for his “Storytelling Blues." His acoustic finger-pick guitar style enhances every song he plays.

Doug Burns, raised in South Florida, has enjoyed and performed music from various genres. In his youth, he listened to rock n roll, like the Beatles, the Monkeys, and Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR). Later he played in punk bands, traveling to a town to play a gig, crashing on a couch, and get back on the road for the next gig.

When that paled, he decided to simply play his own songs and realized those songs had more in common with CCR and Steve Earle than with the Dead Kennedys or the Ramones.

ISYA, established in 2006 by artist Jake Brown, has released three albums and four EPs, plus a “greatest hits” album. They plan to release a fourth full-length album in 2023. Throughout this time, Jake Brown has been active in the St. Augustine punk and alt-rock music scene with bands 238, Moments in Grace, and Decahedron.

Jake said ISYA blends aspects of several genres, including hardcore, noise rock, and post-punk. Like many post-punk and industrial projects, ISYA has blended electronic sounds into his songs.

Another blues/rock band with an ever-changing lineup of musicians, the Bryce Alastair Band combines their love of the sound of old blues men and new songs, with highly talented tune-makers.
 

The elusive Amy Robbins Band rides the rhythm of saxophone and guitar leads, blending country with indie and Americana, as well as some blues.

An accomplished and popular guitarist and singer-songwriter from Northern Florida, Chris Rudasill is well-known as the frontman for The Dog Apollo and more recently for the post-rock band, Evil Sons.

His musical influences span many artists and genres, and his writing style combines lyrics that tell stories with intricate guitar-driven melodies. He continues to write new songs, and now travels along the East Coast, performing as a solo act and singing original songs. 

Originally from the Bronx, Joe Targove, plays the guitar and drums, writes music, and performs in various local venues.

In New York, Joe taught in the public school system for more than 30 years. When he first moved to St. Augustine, Joe ran a recording studio and offered music lessons.

His original music is typically country or worship music. When Joe sings in the area, he pleases the audience with well-known rock and pop tunes, sometimes inviting people up to sing with him.

From Jacksonville, this ten-piece Latin orchestra, fronted by Josué Cruz on lead vocals, brings high energy salsa and Afro-Cuban music to every show.  

The group formed in 2015, starting as a seven-piece band, playing in small venues in Jacksonville. Now, they are traveling farther afield, sharing incredibly crafted salsa music throughout the southeast.

Either no one knows the meaning of their name, LPT, or they aren’t sharing the real story. They do always share salsa music that never fails to get the audience moving.
