OK, so hear us out. 😞No one is more bummed of this cancellation than Goldmine Band and us. Due to some unforeseen circumstances (nope, not weather oddly enough), we are overwhelmingly sorry to call tomorrow night's show.

It can be argued that luck wasn't on our side for some of the season, BUT we will never forget how lucky we are to have such supportive and understanding friends like you. We did everything we could behind the scenes to bring a show to you tomorrow, but it just wasn't in the stars.

As we end our season, we encourage you to check out the MANY excellent outdoor events throughout the area. We're all in this together: the bands, the fans, the vendors, and the partners like Play Pensacola Parks & Recreation, City of Pensacola - Government, Allen Turner Hyundai & United Way of West Florida - we all want to bring you activities to love our community like we do.

In closing, Thank You. For your enthusiasm, your support and in advance for saying you’ll come out to see us in 2025 for another incredible season because of you. 💙🎶💛

This is our least favorite part of the job. 🥺 While some blue skies are trying to peek out, future predictions show the wet stuff coming in later. Additionally, the greens are a little soggy and we want all of our friends to be safe and comfortable, so it's with heavy hearts that we will be canceling tonight's Blenders Emerald Coast show. We're going to try one more time next week with Goldmine Band. A really big thanks for everyone who comes together to put this concert series together - Play Pensacola Parks & Recreation, City of Pensacola - Government, Allen Turner Hyundai, United Way of West Florida, The Soundmen, and all our vendors. We apologize from the bottom of our hearts and appreciate all of you understanding. See you next week! 🤞🤞🤞

It's about that time! 🎸 We're excited to welcome to the stage Blenders Emerald Coast THIS Sunday 6/30 at 6 p.m. As always, a huge thanks for our partners Play Pensacola Parks & Recreation, City of Pensacola - Government, Allen Turner Hyundai & United Way of West Florida for making this concer series possible. See you then! 💙💛

Dear friends, best laid plans. We are so sorry to announce we will be canceling tonight's show. We got to the field today and it's just a bit too saturated for vendors and guests. We care very deeply about our relationship with the City and do not want to compromise their beautiful greens as well as the general safety of our guests. We definitely appreciate everyone's understanding on this decision.

Again, we are so sorry BUT mark your calendars for July 7th for the rain date and performance of Goldmine Band. Same Bat time, same Bat place.
