THE MAIN EVENT
Saturday, November 17, 2018 ~ 11am-7pm
Sunday, November 18, 2018 ~ 11am-2pm
The event is held at Sarasota County's Maxine Barritt Park, Venice, Florida - located a hour south of Tampa and a hour north of Fort Myers, just 7 miles off I-75. The Park overlooks the Gulf of Mexico, only a short distance to the local beach and offers plenty of convenient free parking directly across the street from the park.
As the sun sets to the west folks will enjoy our headline act Little Jake and the Soul Searchers, a soulfully swinging R&B band that is tops in talent and entertainment. Little Jake Mitchell is an authentic blues child prodigy and R&B singer who works as hard today as he did in his appearances at the Apollo Theater; as hard as he did on tour as "Mr. Excitement" with R&B immortals James Brown, Jackie Wilson, Sam Cooke, and Bobby Blue Bland. Little Jake & The Soul Searchers—that's what you get when you combine Jake with The Silver-Sonic Horns and a powerful rhythm section. The band recalls authentic R&B stagecraft in support of a classic repertoire of soulful songs. Depending on the venue, Jake and the band treat audiences to sights and sounds seldom seen or heard since the golden age of R&B: opening singers, Tran “The Piano Man” Whitley and drummer, Hal "Halag8r" Saylor; a dynamic, audience-walking lead singer; a strolling horn section; a full-time emcee/announcer, Kenny "The Conductor" Eunice; and one of the funkiest rhythm sections around. The band's roots are deep, featuring sidemen who worked with Ike and Tina Turner, Billy Joe Royal, Ernie K Doe, Hues Corporation, and other R&B and rock pioneers.
