The tunes that bind: Free concert held to support the Great Florida Riverway Reunion
Jacksonville residents kicked back on Saturday, Feb. 4 to enjoy live music at last month’s free outdoor concert at the Jacksonville University’s (JU) Riverfront Amphitheater.
Hosted by St. Johns Riverkeeper and JU’s Marine Science Research Institute, the concert featured local band Snake Bloody Remedy, a “traditional country music and Old Time band.”
The live tunes were enhanced by bites from local food truck Twisting Roots.
The concert was one of a series of events taking place on Feb. 4 as part of the Great Florida Riverway Reunion, “from the headwaters of the Ocklawaha River at Lake Apopka to the confluence of the Ocklawaha and Silver Rivers near Silver Springs, to Palatka, near where the Ocklawaha and St. Johns Rivers unite, all the way to Jacksonville where the Great Florida Riverway meets the Atlantic.”
“We are excited to provide this opportunity to gather on the banks of the St. Johns River and enjoy a family-friendly concert for an important cause,” said St. Johns Riverkeeper Executive Director Jimmy Orth in a press release. “This is also an opportunity for citizens to show up and express their support for restoring the Ocklawaha River, the largest tributary of the St. Johns, which will have a positive impact all the way upstream to our estuary here in Jacksonville.”
