We are currently planning the 2023 festival, along with a 2022-23 Concert Series! 
Please join us for our gala on Oct. 8, 2022

We have partnered with the St. Johns Cultural Council to present "Live from The Waterworks: A Gamble Rogers Concert Series." Celebrate the legendary recording artist Gamble Rogers whose balladry and storytelling shaped American folk music. On the third Saturday of each month, a local musician will open for a nationally known act at The Waterworks (184 San Marco Avenue), built in 1898 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

​

On October 22, Ruth Wyand and Doyle Dykes will perform at the inaugural concert. Doors at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30 p.m.

​

Tickets will be available soon. Only 100 seats available for this very special performance. Ticket fees will go to the nonprofit Gamble Rogers Music Festival.

Beloved raconteur, environmentalist, and down-home philosopher, Gamble Rogers (1937–1991) ushered in a renaissance of folk music to a place and time that desperately needed it. In this book, Bruce Horovitz tells the story of how Rogers infused Florida's rapidly commercializing landscape with a refreshing dose of homegrown authenticity and how his distinctive music and personality touched the nation.
