What happens when two world-class entertainers decide to bring Vegas-quality production to Jacksonville? You get Boot, Scoot and Bourbon—a revolutionary immersive country music experience that's about to transform how the city experiences live entertainment.

Meet Russ and Ali Francis, the creative force behind this groundbreaking show. Their story reads like a Hollywood script: he's a Jacksonville native and professional singer; she's an Australian dancer who performed with Bruno Mars and Chris Brown. They met in Los Angeles, then moved to Vegas where they both starred in a major production (and where Russ proposed on stage!), then took their talents around the world before deciding to elevate Jacksonville's entertainment scene.

Boot, Scoot and Bourbon isn't just another concert—it's a fully immersive experience where the entertainment surrounds you. The Glass Factory transforms completely with country-themed décor while performers move throughout the space. The music spans classic and contemporary country hits, meticulously arranged with stunning harmonies and performed by extraordinary talents: Nashville vocalists, local musicians from UNF's renowned jazz program, and even specialty acts flown in from Spain. And yes, there's actual bourbon tasting involved, courtesy of local award-winning distillery Jacksontucky.

What makes this production special goes beyond the spectacle. It's about creating something Jacksonville can proudly call its own—a show that rivals anything you'd find in major entertainment hubs, but celebrates our Southern heritage and brings world-class talent right to our doorstep. Russ and Ali believe fervently that "you shouldn't have to travel to New York or Las Vegas to experience a show like this."

Experience Boot, Scoot and Bourbon select nights September 12-20 at the Glass Factory. Whether you're a die-hard country fan or simply crave something extraordinary, this show promises moments you'll talk about long after the final bow.
