Coupling a high-energy, relentless bluegrass sound with the steadfastness of professional, experienced troubadours, Swamptooth embodies an indelible appeal that can ignite the passion of nearly any audience who happens across their path.
Swamptooth was forged in early 2020 around a simple desire to keep playing their instruments while waiting out the unknown variables of a changing world. Comprised of longtime picking partners Cory Chambers (mandolin, vocals) and Jay Rudd (guitar, vocals), along with fiddle virtuoso Vito Gutilla (fiddle, vocals) and Katie Rudd (bass), Swamptooth’s lineup bears several decades worth of seasoned musicianship.

MillaJohn’s BlueSoul is a Jacksonville band concentrating on 60’s and 70’s style Chicago electric blues, soul, and R&B. Good for your soul!
BlueSoul is a sister project to John Miller’s BayStreet, a group with over 30 years of history.
Miller has shared billing with the likes of Kenny Loggins and Chubby Checker. Though he has performed globally, from the Bahamas to Poland, he has called Jacksonville Beach home since the mid-1980s and humbly considers BlueSoul and Baystreet to have attained “semi-local” status after decades of performing at the Beaches.
