Jack Shealy Returns to The Buck
Headlining his second appearance at Buckingham Blues Bar, Jack Shealy brings a sound that comes straight out of the Everglades.
A fourth-generation Floridian raised in Big Cypress, Jack mixes Southern rock, blues and soul with expressive slide guitar and songs drawn from the people, places and stories of Old Florida. His connection to that way of life runs through his music, giving it a character that feels right at home in our Backyard.
With more than two decades of songwriting and performing behind him, Jack has taken his music across the South and into Europe. His band recently recorded a full-length album at legendary Capricorn Studios in Macon, Georgia, capturing the sound they’ve developed on the road.
Tommy Lee Cook & The Buckingham Blues Band
Tommy Lee Cook & The Buckingham Blues Band have helped build the musical community that keeps people coming back to The Buck.
Their sets bring Tommy Lee Cook and Harry Cassano’s originals together with blues classics, backed by years of playing together. Songs such as “Consequences” and “I’m Gone” have become familiar favorites, part of a growing catalog of homegrown music with its own place on our stage.
As we celebrate our 25th year, the band is sounding better than ever. The work on the Backyard stage has paid off, too, giving audiences even more reason to settle in and listen. Whether you’ve followed them for years or you’re visiting for the first time, come hear the band at the heart of The Buck.
