Rainbow Island - Southern Grown Festival

Some of the best bands to every grace this area did so as part of the Southern Grown Festival. What a great concept. This year's festival was cancelled with an ABBA Cover band booked instead. After Queen and now ABBA I hope this isn't a trend.

The original concept behind "Southern Grown" was such a good one and connect with the area so well I
would hate to lose it.

What have you heard on the Future of Southern Grown?

Bob Wells 323 days ago

Southern Grown Festival

I agree about the caliber of bands & the wonderful events that have been part of the Southern Grown Festival. It has been one of the highlights of the year for us since its inception and it brought some of my absolute favorite musicians (and chefs) right here to my backyard. However, I will also say don’t disparage the tribute acts that have been brought in - the Queen tribute band was excellent and the concert sold out. ABBAMANIA also looks like it will be a fun show. I know Sea Island was in discussion about brining Southern Grown back in the future, so it hasn’t been ruled out entirely. Several of the people who founded the festival on both the culinary and music ends of the event are no longer with the resort, so we’ll just have to wait and see. I’m hopeful that it will make a return.

Local Music Venues

The other night we went to listen to a local band and the location acoustics were such it was impossible to appreciate the band. They were a great band. Since we have newly returned to the area we are uncertain as to locations on SSI that best provide a concert like music experience. What are some of the best venues for that purpose?

Bob Wells 345 days ago

Listening room setting

If you could tell me the location you visited & the band you saw, I can get a better idea of what you were dealing with for comparison. You can email me at imwiththebandssi@gmail.com directly with this info if you aren’t comfortable sharing here. A very nice indoor listening room type experience is The Blue Door in Downtown Brunswick.

Kathi (elegantislandliving.net) 345 days ago

Live at the Blue Door

Your blog turned us on to a great new venue in Brunswick, Live at the Blue Door. We saw 2 bands: The Conni Laine Band and the Chicago tribute group, Chi-Town. Both were great and the venue is superior with excellent acoustics and sound. To top it off the owners and hosts Conni & Enzo are fun and attentive. Thanks for keeping our community aware of what is going on. Everyone should check out Live at the Blue Door.

Robert more than 1 year ago

Music Genre?

Would be REALLY helpful to know what type of music is being played, otherwise this is meaningless to those not from this area.

Jami more than 1 year ago

Done:)

That's kind of hard to do sometimes because we don't always have info about bands, but I've created a separate page listing the local bands/genres that I'll include with the weekly blog, and I've done my best to put the info in this week's blog for you too.

Band Updates

I don't have any info about the band, and only post what they share. As far as I know they've been playing at Island Jerk Shak in Brunswick every Thursday night.

Kathi (elegantislandliving.net) more than 1 year ago

Name of the Band?

We cannot remember the name of a band. We saw them twice at Palm Coast Cafe. I think the name was Ambrosis or Ambrosius...? It was a woman singer and piano player. Jam Band. Do you know who they are or the name of the band? Do they still play? They are amazing!!

Whitney more than 2 years ago

Michaele Hannemann

Ambrosius no longer exists, but you can catch Michaele & the Ambiguous playing around town & that’s your girl. She also performs solo & guests with other bands pretty frequently.

Kathi (elegantislandliving.net) more than 2 years ago

Michaele Hannemann

Thank you so much Kathi!

Whitney more than 2 years ago

Music genre

Which bands play country?

Thomas more than 3 years ago

Country

Well, what actually constitutes "country" music is up for debate, but Brent Browning, who's in town & playing at Village Inn & Pub Friday & Saturday (8/25-26), lives in Nashville & has a regular gig at Tootsies, so you might want to check him out. Half Mile Bridge also does some country. Pine Box Dwellers do Americana/Southern Rock/blues/country. Skeeter Truck does country/bluegrass.

Kathi (elegantislandliving.net) more than 3 years ago

Half Mile Bridge

Half Mile Bridge plays hit from Country, Rock, Blues, Funk spanning the years of favorites.

Jody Frost more than 3 years ago

Fiddle players on the isles?

Any bands with fiddle players that we can enjoy locally?

Chris H more than 4 years ago

Good question

Mountain Oyster String Band may have a fiddle in their repertoire, but I'm not sure. The bands I know who did are no longer playing. There is good bluegrass/folk/Americana band from Savannah who will be playing at Mullet Bay tonight (Friday) - City Hotel, and I thought they might, but it looks like they're mandolin, banjo, upright bass & guitar.

Kathi (elegantislandliving.net) more than 4 years ago

Fiddle/violin yes

Take Two Music Duet. Violin and guitar playing swing tunes, tango, Latin and other varieties.

Jeff more than 4 years ago

Take Two Music Duet

Does Take Two play locally at public venues or only private bookings?

Kathi (elegantislandliving.net) more than 5 years ago

Thank you!!

Thank you Kathy for making this info available. Know it takes time and effort to keep up with local music. Took me a while stumbling around other sites to find out what was going on in the Brunswick/SSI area for this upcoming weekend. Good music options for evening activities is a huge criteria in selecting weekend get away places. Your blog will make it so much easier to schedule many return visits. Hope the local tourism folks appreciate your work. Thank you, thank you!

LBD more than 5 years ago

Glad you like the blog!

Hat's off to the lovely and talented Kathi Williams, for all she does for the arts and particularly live music in the Golden Isles. It's a massive undertaking that we sometimes take for granted. Thanks Miss Kathi!
