Florida Beach Bar Bands

Florida is host to some of the best beach bands around. They play hard rock, country and trop rock. Many of these bands play the circuit traveling from beach bar to beach bar. Some people follow the bands to the beach bars, others follow the beach bars to the bands. Either way works. Some of the bands and performers have gained popularity on Radio Margaritaville. Others are local favorites.
