J. Robert will set the tone of his stage with original Florida songs. Then, he will introduce the evening’s special guest artist. Q & A with the audience will be followed by a Goodland style songwriter jam with other recognized writers attending that evening.

During the shows, musicians will share personal stories about Florida heritage and inspiration for their songwriting and musical talents.
