We ’ ve Got The Beat
It ’ s been said that music gives a soul to the universe . If what they say is true , Florida ’ s Historic Coast is riddled with spirit .
The St . Augustine Amphitheatre , situated in tranquil Anastasia State Park , welcomes top national and international touring acts such as Robert Plant , Alabama Shakes and the Steve Miller Band . This outdoor concert venue has a seated capacity of more than 4,000 and
Wobbly Toms has repeatedly been named one of the best in the world by industry expert Pollstar . The Amphitheatre ’ s unique Backyard events , which feature up-and-comers and lesser-known bands such as Guantanamo Baywatch and Protomartyr , are popular with the locals . These shows are often times free or low cost and include extras like food trucks , samplings from the local distillery and brewery and non-profit educational forums .
If you ’ re looking for a more intimate venue highlighting singer-songwriters and the like , head to Ponte Vedra Concert Hall . North of the Nation ’ s oldest city along scenic A1A , PVCH ( as it ’ s known ) previously served as a church and has been perfectly converted for concerts and entertainment . PVCH welcomes award-winning artists spanning every musical genre including The Psychedelic Furs , Robert Randolph and George Winston . It has standing room for 900 and offers family-friendly events as well as stand-up comedians and performing arts .
Florida ’ s Historic Coast is a haven for musicians . There is no shortage of live music at hundreds of bars , restaurants , and pop up stages . In the summer months , weekly free concerts take place in St . Augustine ’ s Plaza de la Constitucion and the St . Johns County Beach Pier Park . The summertime Sing Out Loud Festival offers weeks of free entertainment for residents and visitors alike .
No matter what you add to your Historic Coast itinerary , live music is bound to cross your path .
