Information on venues and musicians sought for promotion in conjunction with Mumford and Sons event
It’s no secret that St. Augustine has a rich heritage of musical entertainment and a vibrant arts community. In fact, it was that aspect of the Nation’s Oldest City that in large part attracted the promoters of the Mumford and Sons to select St. Augustine as one of the
few locations for the Gentlemen of the Road Stopover, September 13 and 14.
Because of the worldwide popularity of Mumford and Sons, it is certain that an international spotlight will shine on St. Augustine during the event’s two days, so local organizers are working to showcase these unique aspects of this unique city by promoting local musicians and the venues in which they perform.
Venues both downtown and in the beach communities will be promoted through the event’s primary website, www.GOTRstaug.com, to the thousands who will be 
St. Augustine for the event, for while the main Gentlemen of the Road event will take place on Francis Field, musically St. Augustine has something to offer everyone.
Performers and operators of live music venues throughout the area are encouraged to share information regarding activities scheduled for anytime from Thursday, September 12 through Sunday, September 15 for including in the promotions.
Contact Elizabeth Glasgow at eglasgow@sjcfl.us or 904.209.3753, and share activity details, including date(s), time, location and a brief description for inclusion in the entertainment guide.

Blackfish – Movie Trailer
Aug 26th
Magnolia Pictures invites you and a guest to attend an advance screening of BLACKFISH, an eye-opening documentary directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite. Many of us have experienced the excitement and awe of watching 8,000-pound orcas, or “killer whales,” soar out of the water and fly through the air at sea parks, as if in perfect harmony with their trainers. Yet, in our contemporary lore this mighty black-and-white mammal is like a two-faced Janus-beloved as a majestic, friendly giant yet infamous for its capacity to kill viciously. BLACKFISH unravels the complexities of this dichotomy, employing the story of notorious performing whale Tilikum, who-unlike any orca in the wild-has taken the lives of several people while in captivity. So what exactly went wrong? Shocking, never-before-seen footage and riveting interviews with trainers and experts manifest the orca’s extraordinary nature, the species’ cruel treatment in captivity over the last four decades, and the growing disillusionment of workers who were misled and endangered by the highly profitable sea-park industry. This emotionally wrenching, tautly structured story challenges us to consider our relationship to nature and reveals how little we humans have learned from these highly intelligent and enormously sentient fellow mammals.
