There are four Tuesdays in July, five in August, and one concert in September right after Labor Day. The schedule and band info are as follows:
Tuesday, July 6: The Sound Arcade
For some Retro 80s vibes, The Sound Arcade has you covered. They play the best of the British invasion/one-hit wonders of the 80s, bringing the MTV music experience to the stage. All their performances feature a dynamic light show and packed dance floors. These talented musicians will bring you back to a time when Pacman chomped, and Donkey Kong stomped!

Tuesday, July 14: The Deja Vu Band
Versatility is their specialty! With the Deja Vu Band, you can expect anything from Classic Rock to Pop to Country to Motown and everything in between.

Tuesday, July 20: Anthony Peebles
This talented local Panama City Beach artist has been performing from a young age. He decided to pursue his music professionally in his late teens and has been in the business ever since.

A songwriter and recording artist, you can find more of his work from record producer First Note Entertainment.
Tuesday, July 27: Me Like Bees
This Indie Rock band hails from the heart of Missouri. In 2013, they released their first full-length record, “The Ideas.” They went on to win a spot to compete in the Ernie Ball Music Man Battle of the Bands, where they beat out over 20,000 bands to advance to the final round. They have released the EP “There Will Be Time” and embarked on a nationwide tour spanning from Hollywood to Massachusetts. This fall, they will head out on another nationwide tour.

Since 2018, the band has been actively touring Texas, and they play about 150 live performances per year. They draw inspiration from iconic live bands like The Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen. The Selfless Lovers aim to bring the joy and energy of roots rock’n’roll to new audiences.
