Nice article about PJ Fancher who has a website (gainesvilleshows.com) completely packed with Gainesville Music History. This is the largest single collection of Gainesville Music History I have seen and it's incredibly important to our organizations charter. We have completed our project with him to scan all the memorabilia and posters in my personal collection from the 1970's. We look forward to presenting it via our online museum as well. It's in the works...

Created in 2021, the site offers a resource for finding information on shows happening throughout the week and those from the past. The site’s poster archive goes back decades.

My friend Bobby Lieberman, my head of Technical Support at the University of Florida where the two of us produced 3 shows with Jimmy Buffet in 1975 and 1976. Congrats to Bob Liberman for this recognition for his role as Jimmys tour manager all those years. Way to go, another Gainesville Music history member!

Buck Reilly will soon come, but next up is the origin story of Jimmy Buffett's Coral Re**er Band in a documentary that I directed and co-produced. Check out our website here and connect to our page below. National theatrical run starts in Key West on Labor Day weekend and other locations will follow!
