The Boardwalk Is Loud Again
From the Fort Lauderdale strip to Islamorada, the cover-band circuit is having its best summer in a decade.
Walk the strip on a Friday night and you can hear three bands at once — a horn section spilling out of a beach bar, a duo working through Tom Petty on a patio, and somewhere down the block a drummer soundchecking too loud.
South Florida's live circuit runs on relationships: a bass player who knows every stage from Jupiter to Key West, a booker who texts at noon looking for a band by nine. This magazine exists to put all of that in one place — who is playing, where, and when.
Every listing on this page comes from the bands and the people who go see them. Claim your slot, keep your dates current, and we will keep the schedule honest.
