St. Johns Riverkeeper is proud to be a partner of the Tiny Dock Concert Series! In a fun and safe way, we’re able to bring our River community together to foster awareness and appreciation for the health of the St. Johns, increase utilization of our Riverfront, and support local businesses and musicians. What could be better than a beautiful evening on your River listening to music?
The idea for the Series all started with a Tiny Dock and two people who wanted to support local musicians by sharing their special River haven during hard times with others. We’re grateful to have Brian and Amber Osborne as Riverkeeper members for our River and our community. Here’s their story:
“We were both home for eight weeks without work, and they are honestly days I will forever treasure. Days full of laughs, projects, gardening, archery, and just good old quality time.One night sitting on our dock my husband I were discussing how blessed we felt to have this space to explore and play during these times, and we wondered out loud how we could share it.
As a professional trumpeter with the JSO my husband was connected with so many musicians eager to work and play for an audience. Music is good for the soul as a musician and a patron. He thought utilizing our dock as a stage would allow them to play and patrons to safely come in the comfort of their own boat. He understood what it would take, and knew we could pull it off, so he reached out to some friends to see if they were interested in our “out of the box” idea.
It was through this desire, connections, and perseverance and your love and support that Tiny Dock came to fruition. So congrats Jax! We created something beautiful during these not so beautiful times!” – Amber Osborne
