Choosing to take "a road less traveled," by keeping close to her roots and community, she has blazed a "Heartfelt Highway", with original music, emboldened by sharing her vulnerabilities and ours. Enjoy the beautiful lawn at the Gazebo downtown. Bring a chair and listen to the music of Mama Blue and her band engage us with soul, RandB and gospel favorites. 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM - THE ST. AUGUSTINE CONCERT BAND PRESENTS "AMERICANA" The St. Augustine Concert Band will be performing their greatly anticipated season finale concert themed "AMERICANA". It will feature some of the finest music from across the country – literally from West to the South to the roaring 20’s of the East. Come and experience "Forgotten Tales of the West" all the way to "A Leonard Bernstein Tribute" and more! The concert will feature music by Samuel Hazo, Carl Strommen, Brian Balmages, Richard Saucedo and Leonard Bernstein. Not only will this be the grand finale of the concert season for the St. Augustine Concert Band, but it will also be the farewell concert for Maestro Magnani who is retiring as the band’s Musical Director. He reestablished the organization as the premier band of Saint Augustine in 2015 and has been the conductor for the past nine years. Adults: $20: Students: $5: Children under 12 are free. Location:R.J. Murray Middle School-150 N Holmes Blvd., St. Augustine, FL 32084 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM - SHRINK RAP: A SOCIAL SATIRE Has the country gone crazy, or is it just me If you can relate to that question, then Shrink Rap might be just what the doctor ordered! Originally presented in St. Augustine in 2019, revived in 2025 as a staged reading. St. Augustine playwright Amy Lauer Goldin’s play is an original social satire that holds up a fun-house mirror to society and manages to skewer politics, the media, corporate America and a few everyday people just trying to navigate the minefield that we now call daily life. Laughter is the best medicine, so book a therapy session with Shrink Rap! Location:Center for Spiritual Living-1795 Old Moutrie Rd.
