Eric Culberson JP Soars and Ben Prestage done real good last weekend. JP is a talented son of a gun and turned the night into a party. Very impressed with JP and the band. They'll be back. Ben simply shook the place! He's the most unique and the "biggest" one man band I've seen. Folks loved him and you'll be seeing him again on the corner stage. Mighty good and fun stuff! He's found a home in the woods. FSU plays its first game of the season in Tallahassee this weekend. Win lose or draw, we've got the music to entertain the home folks this weekend.

Great young Blues singer Gina Sicilia plays the BBC for the first time on Saturday Sept. 13. FSU has a home game that night but we could not pass up the opportunity to bring Gina to Tallahassee. Gina hails from Philadelphia- or somewhere up north where they don't serve sweet tea or cheese grits -and this lady has some pipes. Her first cd was nominated for a Blues Music Award where she performed last May in Memphis. Highly recommended. You probably haven't heard her name yet but you won't forget it when you hear her sing.
