Jacksonville is throwing down in style, and we’ve got your all-access pass. We kick off with can’t-miss updates—Jonas Brothers at Daily’s Place on December 30—and then step straight into the creative engine powering the city’s biggest moments: PRI Productions and the newly reimagined Citri San Marco. What used to be a restaurant is now an immersive venue where shipping containers become silent discos, green screens fuel carpool karaoke, and a 27-foot mobile LED wall turns any space into a show.

Randy Goodwin, the force behind PRI, explains how bold ideas become real experiences—by inviting partners, trusting inventive teams, and saying yes to the wild stuff. You’ll hear how the kickoff event ballooned from a small gathering to hundreds of industry leaders, vendors, and creators, all building an unforgettable night together. From stilt walkers to state-of-the-art cameras, it’s a masterclass in event innovation, scalability, and community. And if you’ve ever cheered at a Jaguars game, you’ve already seen their work—PRI has supported game day production since the start.

We also spotlight Chef’s Garden and the art of catering that doubles as entertainment. Think oysters Rockefeller, steak frites, synchronized service, and playful touches like a milk-and-cookies martini poured by a dancing “milkman.” The culinary team breaks down how they design menus around the host’s vision and deliver service that feels personal, effortless, and utterly memorable. Add in a peek at PRI’s logistics brain—multi-building inventories, rapid retrieval, and teams that can build anything from scratch—and you get a full picture of how great events in Jacksonville really happen.

Big holiday energy meets honest storytelling as we map Jacksonville’s most festive concerts and sit down with two artists who know how to turn a December night into a memory. Charles Kelley of Lady A shares how their first Christmas tour finally came to life, why Beach Boys harmonies on Little Saint Nick became a crash course in arranging, and how a rolling banjo and duet feel reshaped Wonderful Christmastime. He opens up about faith-forward moments like Silent Night with Chris Tomlin and the new original While We Sing Noel, written with Scripture close at hand. We talk family, flow, and the little choices that make a two-hour holiday show feel like a living room singalong.

Then the spotlight shifts to Dave Koz, who’s building a concert designed to acknowledge a tough year and guide the room toward hope. He walks us through the rehearsal process, the front line featuring Jonathan Butler, Kayla Waters, Haley Reinhart, and Casey Abrams, and the decision to add New Hope—the Grammy-nominated duet with Bob James—to a Christmas set. Koz shares a heartfelt timeline: the beloved holiday tour will take its final bow at year thirty, not as a farewell to performing but as an opening for new creative paths. Along the way we revisit a shared obsession with Ray Charles’ The Spirit of Christmas and the power of music to connect generations.

We round up key dates at the Florida Theater and other local venues so you can plan your season with confidence. If you’re ready for harmonies that lift, songs that center the heart of the holiday, and a stage full of collaboration, this one’s for you. Hit play, grab tickets while they last, and tell us: which Christmas song do you most want to hear live?

Jacksonville’s stages are buzzing, and we’re riding the wave from stadium-size announcements to intimate, memory-soaked tributes. We kick off with a rapid tour of what’s on the books: country stars moving pre-sales, amphitheater nights waiting for cool weather, a packed Florida Theatre calendar, and a Broadway in Jacksonville launch that brings a rare straight play to town. It’s a season of choices, and the best kind of problem—too many great shows on the same week.

Then we dive into craft. Actor Adam Brett, who plays Wadsworth in Clue, opens the rehearsal room and explains why this play feels like a musical without ever breaking into song. He studies Tim Curry’s film performance like a score, not to mimic but to honor the energy and timing that fans love. The result is a stage piece with meter, melody, and sly orchestration—Colonel Mustard brassy, Mrs. White like a clarinet—plus moody jazz cues that turn the mansion into a live instrument. If you think you only love musicals, Clue might change your mind.

We also sit down with Craig Winberry from The Life & Music of George Michael, and the conversation swings from Wham to the soul-baring depth of Listen Without Prejudice and Older. Craig talks about carrying that voice with care, the difference between tribute and imitation, and why songs like Spinning the Wheel and Jesus to a Child still stop a room. He shares practical New York ticket hacks and the heart behind his debut album, Sidewalk Survival Guide—an honest, genre-hopping journal about leaving home, finding self, and refusing to be boxed in.

From ticket tips to creative insights, this episode maps the sweet spot where nostalgia meets new work. If you’re picking between Clue’s opening night and George Michael’s return to the Florida Theatre, we feel your pain—and we explain our own scheduling pivot. Ready to plan your night out in Jax?
