Meet the Bands

The band also travels throughout the southeast United States as a goodwill ambassador for the United States Government. This organization has performed in Africa, France, Italy, Central Europe, Korea, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Lyn Avenue
Lyn Avenue is boot-stomping Americana/Country straight outta Savannah, GA - where the swamp meets the skyline and the whiskey never runs dry. If Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton had a child and handed them a Telecaster blessed by a honkytonk Hendrix, you’d start to scratch the surface. With sharp lyricism, fiery guitars, and rhythm that kicks like a Georgia mule, Lyn Avenue brings stories of the modern South to life with grit, groove, and just the right amount of twang.

Willie Jackson and the Tybee Blues Band
Willie Jackson is a native son of Savannah, GA; the youngest of the 6 children born to the late, great Reverend Jackson, and his wife, Annie Pearl. Willie has always been a songwriter in his free time while working to support his family. After an accident ended his career working on the railroad, he was able to pursue his music full time. Willie has a passion for writing blues songs, playing bass and singing with various configurations of his Tybee Blues Band at venues across the Coastal Empire.

Unifya
"Cali Vibe" style rock band from Savannah, Georgia. Their uplifting vibes create a sound that's both nostalgic and fresh while providing a solid foundation for the band's high- energy live performances. 

Keys and Company
Using high energy mash-ups, we provide an eclectic mix of songs from every era to appeal to all your guests. We allow you to also cater our set list and music style so that you get to hear all your favorite songs, all night long.
