The Studio@620 has put together a traveling outdoor concert event on Thursday, December 17, that will let the audience attend limited, intimate shows as several stunning homes in the Old Southeast neighborhood. Billed as a progressive backyard concert series, “Sun + Sky + Song” may be the most unique fundraising event in St. Petersburg. Trust us; the waterfront views from the Old Southeast are unparalleled.

This curated series of performances will serve as a sort of walking tour of the Old Southeast Neighborhood. Performers include local musical favorites Nate Najar (pictured above), Daniela Soledade, The Picnic Band (Paul Wilborn, Eugenie Bodurant, Sher and Robin Sibucao) Sharon Scott, James Suggs, La Lucha and more.

4 locations, multiple performances 

You’ll visit four locations including the homes of Bob Devin Jones and James Howell, Paul Wilborn and Eugenie Bondurant, Jorn Veenstra and Ami Utji, and James Howell’s Red Cottage. Each location features a different twenty minute performance and you’ll have plenty of time to walk to the next place on your tour. You’ll receive a pre-packaged gourmet snack box at your first location as well as beverages at each stop. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon while supporting one of St. Petersburg’s most treasured arts organizations.

Four groups will be making simultaneous rounds so make note of your group when you purchase your ticket as this determines which home you start at. Guests will stay with the same audience group for the entirety. Seating will be sanitized between groups and masks required. An email will be sent complete with addresses and map of homes included on the tour after tickets are purchased. Your ticket supports The Studio@620 as they strive to continue their mission of YES during these historic times.
