We are glad to announce The Jack Shealy Band will be playing at this year’s Earth Day Festival.
“Jack Shealy, a native of the Everglades, is the driving force behind The Jack Shealy Band, an ensemble as genuine as the Florida swamps they call home. A passionate advocate for preserving Florida’s rich cultural heritage, it's his lifelong love of music that truly defines him. For 2 decades Shealy has wielded his guitar and voice, crafting original songs and performing with various bands.
While the term “southern rock” might come to mind with the band’s electric guitars and driving drums, The Jack Shealy Band offers something more distinctive—a steel guitar sound that captivates discerning listeners. With soulful vocals, swampy slide guitar, and a tight-knit rocking ensemble, they deliver heartfelt originals alongside crowd-pleasing covers. The Jack Shealy Band’s swamp-soaked sound is a raw, soulful blend of rhythm and roots music that feels like a slow ride down in the deep south where the air is thick, the stories run deep, and the spirit of old Florida comes alive in every note” -2/18 Culture In the Carnival Article.
