St. Augustine, Florida

A few hours south of Savannah is the Florida boarder, and ultimately for us on Thursday evening is St. Augustine, the oldest city in North America. Settled by the Spanish in the 1500’s this city has an unmatched historical significance. Many parts of the town are beautiful, especially the historic district which runs along the water. However the historical significance becomes watered down by extremely touristy souvenir shops and overpriced restaurants. It is Florida after all.

Our show in St. Augustine was in a small bar with a Japanese theme. It looked like it was a restaurant at some point, but now was a simple place to drink, play pool, and watch bands. There were a handful of people playing pool in the back of the room when we got on stage. They seemed to enjoy the show and let us know after the set, which is always nice to hear. We had a fun, low-key night. Tomorrow we head to Jacksonville, a larger city with a more substantial music scene; we hope that this will work in our favor on a Friday night.
