The 2nd Annual Tybee Island Music and Seafood Festival, presented by Budweiser, will be held on August 27th and 28th on Tybee Island, Georgia. The event features 12 bands over two days, and offers a wide variety of music. Last yearÂ’s inaugural event drew over 10,000 patrons through the festival gates, where they were entertained by some of the SouthÂ’s greatest musical talent. In addition, revelers tasted some of coastal GeorgiaÂ’s favorite foods.
The festival kicks off on Friday evening with “Party Night”, with one of Savannah’s favorite acts, Liquid Ginger. They are followed with “The Party Band of The South”, the legendary Swingin’ Medallions.
The party continues Saturday afternoon with one of Georgia’s great summer traditions – the “Beach Party”. A1A sets the mood for a day on the Tybee beaches with the island sounds of Jimmy Buffett. Following A1A is the famed Clarence Carter, the Tams, and the Swingin’ Medallions. This year, the Beach Party will feature a very special appearance by members of the ORIGINAL Swingin’ Medallions.
Saturday night the festival turns country with “Boots on the Beach”. This evening segment is packed with great music, and was very popular at last year’s event. Georgia’s own Kinchafoonee Cowboys kick off the evening. Afterward, Blue County will take the stage as the weekend’s headline act. Direct from Nashville, Blue County’s first single, “Good Little Girls”, held a place on Billboard’s Top 25 country charts for a good part of 2004. The group’s first album is scheduled for release later this year. And, of course, the weekend can only end with the traditional final “party set” by the Swingin’ Medallions.
The Tybee Island Music and Seafood Festival, which debuted only last year, has captured a special place in the hearts of it’s supporters. Produced by Sounds of the South Productions, this one-of-a-kind event offers something for everyone – a variety of music for all ages, great food, and the beauty of one of Georgia’s natural treasures, Tybee Island. The island offers visitors beautiful beaches, rich history, wonderful restaurants, and all types of accommodations. For more information about Tybee Island, please visit www. TybeeOnline. com.
Jack Boylston, Past Chairman of the Tybee Island Tourism Board, reflected on last year’s festival, saying, “We weren’t sure what to expect the first year. But we drew a huge crowd and the venue worked perfectly. The entire city was pleased with every aspect of the event. We expect even more visitors this year so we will be enhancing our parking and shuttle setup to accommodate the numbers. We look forward to again sharing our island with those people seeking some great fun and wonderful music in the Tybee sun”.
Sponsors of the event to date include Budweiser, the City of Tybee Island, Coca-Cola, Nesmith Chevrolet, Memorial Health, The Savannah Bank, Beachside Colony, Comcast, The Savannah Music Festival, The Savannah Morning News, WTOC TV, and Adventure Radio.
