On Stage Palooza Day 1 (Saturday Nov 29)
• 11am -Noon: Greg Woodruff Duo, Inspired by legends like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, James Taylor, and the Beatles, Gulfport’s own Greg Woodruff brings a timeless sound to every stage he graces. A gifted singer, songwriter, and guitarist, Greg blends folk, classic rock, blues, and heartfelt originals into a style that resonates across generations. Often described as an “old soul,” he captivates audiences whether he’s strumming a six-string or jamming on a twelve. With his big beard, even bigger heart, and unmistakable passion for music, Greg delivers performances that get toes tapping, voices singing, and crowds dancing — whether he’s at a cozy restaurant, bustling brewery, or lively local festival.

• 12:30pm to 1:15pm: ELEMENT, touched down in Tampa Bay on a cosmic mission to uplift, inspire, and heal through the power of music. Blending popular and classic R&B, pop, and rock hits with soul-stirring originals, their sound bridges the past and future—infused with healing frequencies and high vibrations. More than a band, ELEMENT is an experience, channeling harmony, love, and pure energy into every performance as they lead audiences into a new era of connection and joy.

• 2pm-3pm: Righteous Duo, was formed in 2022 when longtime Tampa musicians Brad Pasquini and Susan B joined forces to create a unique and powerful sound. Blending Pasquini’s dynamic six-string basslines and solos with Susan’s driving guitar rhythms, the two deliver a rich, full-band experience as a duo. Their name was coined by a pub owner who, after hearing them perform, described their blend as nothing short of “Righteous.” Together, they bring a fresh energy to every stage, with a setlist that fuses classic influences with their own creative flair.

• 3:30pm-5pm: Amber Lynn & the Low Tide Band, blending beachy originals with crowd favorites, this Coastal Americana group delivers an upbeat, feel-good sound rooted in dance, reggae, southern rock, and pop. Their laid-back energy and infectious rhythms make them a perfect fit for waterfront shows, festivals, and sunny days by the sea. At the heart of the band is St. Pete-based singer-songwriter, producer, and attorney Amber Lynn Nicol, whose seven-album catalog and coast-to-coast touring experience bring depth and charisma to every performance. Her blend of pop-rock, country, and blues strikes a chord with audiences of all ages.

• 11am-Noon: Paul Anthony Band, a high-energy power trio playing rock, Jimmy Buffett, blues, and originals!

Together, they deliver a dynamic live show that keeps fans coming back.

• 12:30pm-1:30pm: Derek Roura, is a seasoned vocal coach, piano instructor, and singing pianist with nearly a decade of experience.
