Over two dozen performers will join the musical ensemble, Sonofarious, for Currents and Tides: A Musical Tribute to Our Waters on December 27 and 29 to recognize the Fernandina Beach and Nassau County Bicentennials, and celebrate the remarkable ocean, rivers, creeks and marshes that sustain them.
“With Currents and Tides, Sonofarious is delighted to shine a light on the incredible waterways that shaped our communities,” says Brenda Kayne, Sonofarious founder. “Without them, Amelia would not be known as the ‘Isle of Eight Flags’; Fernandina would not have become a prosperous shipping, shrimping and tourist hub; the St. Marys River basin would not be one of the most ecologically productive estuaries in North America; and Nassau County would not be among the fastest growing communities in Florida.”
Each Currents and Tides concert will feature classical and traditional songs, dance, original music and poetry. There will be reflections on Pogy watermen, Gullah Geechee culture and plenty of audience participation, Kayne says. Performers from the Amelia Island Dance Festival, Amelia Island Museum of History, and other artistic organizations will assure a lively, harmonious afternoon with fun for the whole family. In addition, attendees will find information from non-profit local groups that support our maritime environment and a special Currents and Tides Chapbook featuring poems by Fernandina native and poet, Kim Lewis.
Currents and Tides will take place December 27 and 29 at 3 PM, at Story and Song Center for Arts and Culture,1430 Park Avenue, Fernandina Beach. Proceeds will benefit the St. Marys Riverkeeper’s programs to protect and enrich the rivers, marshes, bays and streams that flow through Nassau County.
