CHRIS ARMSTRONG / ILLUSTRATOR
NOW SHOWING
Chris Armstrong has worked for almost every outdoor publication at one time or another. A graduate of Ringling School of Art, his first job was as an illustrator for Hallmark Cards.

In 1986 he created Smackwater Studio, Inc. in Jacksonville, Florida and has been the illustrator of magazines, books publishers, advertising agencies as well as producing large murals for the State of Florida. In his 35 years of working as an illustrator there isn't much he hasn't done. From the art of birds, fish and animals to the oddball Styles and subject matter.

Saturday May 5th
Peter Rowan in Concert
7:30 pm SOLD OUT
To get to see an artist of his magnitude in such an intimate setting is rare on it's own..but to add to that, this will be his only Florida performance this year, as he will not be headlining the Suwannee Springfest this time due to his current tour of Australia and Europe..
Sold Out
Grammy-award winner and six-time Grammy nominee, Peter Rowan is a bluegrass singer-songwriter with a career spanning over five decades. From his early years playing under the tutelage of bluegrass patriarch Bill Monroe, and following his stint in Old & In the Way with Jerry Garcia and subsequent breakout as both a solo performer and bandleader,
The late '60s and early 70's saw Rowan collaborating with musical compatriots in a number of rock, folk and bluegrass combinations: Earth Opera with David Grisman, Sea Train with fiddler Richard Greene (himself a graduate of Monroe's band) Muleskinner with both Grisman and Greene, former Bluegrass Boy banjoist Bill Keith and the great Clarence White. From the ashes of Muleskinner, Rowan and Grisman went on to join Jerry Garcia, Vassar Clements, and John Kahn, forming the legendary bluegrass band Old & In the Way. It was during this time that Rowan penned the song "Panama Red," a subsequent hit for the New Riders of the Purple Sage and a classic ever since. Other time-honored compositions by Rowan include " Moonlight Midnight", " In The Land of the Navajo" and "Lonesome L.A. Cowboy”. Jerry Garcia himself recorded Rowan's "Moonlight Midnight" and the haunting "Mississippi Moon".
Rowan subsequently embarked on a well-received solo career in 1978, releasing such critically acclaimed records as Dustbowl Children (a Woody Guthrie style song cycle about humanity's spirituality in relationship to the earth), Yonder (a record of old-time country songs and Rowan originals in collaboration with ace dobro player, Jerry Douglas) and two extraordinarily fine bluegrass albums, The First Whippoorwill and Bluegrass Boy, as well as High Lonesome Cowboy, a recording of traditional old-time cowboy songs with Don Edwards and guitarist Norman Blake. Rowan's recent releases include recording with the phenomenal Tony Rice, Peter Rowan is endeared by audiences around the world.
