The venue features artists from different genres and is relatively small with a downstair and an upstairs for viewing down on the stage.   I Have seen legendary guitar man and Dave Matthews collaborater Tim Reynolds, American Idol runner-up Bo Bice, Billy Bob Thornton, Sister Hazel, and has Hoobastank, and Red Jumpsuit apparatus coming in this weekend.  I tend to like these intimate venue where you can right in front of the stage as well as watching the show from the bar across the way.  On top of that it has a great bar upstairs that allows you to fuel up and watch the show over the railing down below.

A great place to see a show and you can visit their site at www.Freebirdlive.com and check out their upcoming shows.  This has become a staple at the beaches with top flight talent and great local bands too.  Btw, good drink specials that you can partake in, but good to have a designated driver.

Mark this on your calendar for New Years Eve, December 31st, JJ Grey and Mofro are confirmed for a traditional SyncLive.com New Years Bash at Freebird Live.   Freebird is located at 200 North 1st Street, Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250, and you can get tickets for the epic performance by going on http://www.freebirdlive.com or by calling the box office at (904) 246-2473.
I don’t know if you are familiar with JJ Grey and Mofro (www.mofro.net), but they are one of the best live bands out there today.  “Grey and Mofro fuse rock with plenty of soul and groove-heavy blues, and dirty, infectious funk. The deep and introspective lyrics are a breath of fresh air.” –Relix Like Florida’s state flower, the orange blossom, musician JJ Grey’s songs are fascinating, beautiful, and complex. Both are products of the same ground: the rich, fertile and ancient soil of the Sunshine State. Born and raised just outside of Jacksonville, Florida, Grey comes from a long tradition of Southern musical storytellers and, like the best of the great Southern writers, he fills his songs with details that are at once vivid and personal, political and universal. His multi-textured music overflows with dynamic rhythms and thought-provoking lyrics. From raw funk to deep soul, blues and rock, JJ and his band Mofro deliver devastating live and recorded performances. Debuting in 2001 with BLACKWATER, following up in 2004 with LOCHLOOSA (both albums reissued by Alligator in 2007), Grey steadily built an intensely loyal following. In 2007, with his first Alligator release, COUNTRY GHETTO, Grey reached an even larger audience, doubling both his album sales and his concert attendance. Now, with his new album, ORANGE BLOSSOMS, JJ Grey takes another giant step forward.
They will be webcasting their show exclusively on New Year’s Eve.  If you are not in the Jacksonville area and can’t make it to the Freebird, make sure to tune in for the live performance on www.SyncLive.com.
