The band has performed for several well-known acts such as Jimmy Buffet, Third World, Inner Circle and Shaggy.
Riptide - Saturday, October 6 Riptide is a Boca Raton-based R&B band. The combination of drums, saxophone, guitars and vocals help round out the unique sound of the four-member band. Riptide performs at a variety of venues and events in Broward and Palm Beach counties.
The Ark Band - Saturday, October 27 The Ark Band is local to the Columbus, Ohio area, but originated in St. Lucia. Their music has been called "indescribable," "moving" and has "great rhythm." The Ark Band combines fantastic harmonies with a fresh, crisp sound. With a repertoire of music from classic reggae to current hits, The Ark Band will be entertaining for everyone.
Panic Disorder - Saturday, November 10 This three-member rock band has a unique and versatile stage presence. Danny is known for his assortment of interestingly clever t-shirts and is often considered more of an entertainer than just a musician.
