The New 76ers are an acoustic folk band from North Florida. Their original songs come from a cross-genre respect for both acoustic and electric music. As a family, they rely on instinct to meld voices into harmonies which take the spotlight. They are southern-tinged, family and soulful, and play music that is inclusive and full of heart. Their mission is to give love through music, and they contend that music is, and always will be, a force to compel change. The New 76ers have played many festivals throughout our state and region, as well as locally in Tallahassee.

king cotton

 

In 1996, King Cotton was formed by the nucleus of vocalist Tony Young, bassist Todd Bevis and drummer Tom Corbett. The band's goal has always been to take traditional blues and put a modern spin on it. King Cotton's style is rooted in the blues, but it mixes southern rock boogie and tinges of outlaw country to form its own infectious, North Florida sound. Mixing old school feeling with a contemporary flavor, King Cotton's music is a fresh sound enjoyed by all ages, and its high-energy, live performances leave audiences not only hearing the music – but feeling it as well.

Wanderfoot

 

Wanderfoot was formed in 2011 around the idea of creating soulful, original, modern Americana roots music. We create music from the world around us, telling stories of the struggles we see, and reflect through songs those deep universal experiences that we all share. All of that creates an eclectic sound that combines rock, folk, reggae, blues, and many others. Each story dictates the sound, and we try not to get in the way.
