Step back in time to 1740 when St. Augustine was a Spanish garrison town. Throughout the day, authentically clad soldiers representing the city’s garrison will be encamped at the Colonial Spanish Quarter on St. George Street. At 8 p.m., Nightwatch gets underway when the soldiers gather at Government House and begin a torch-lit parade through the historic area. The procession will head up St. George Street to the Castillo de San Marcos where artillerymen will fire a salute with cannons. The next stop for the soldiers will be the City Gate where a ceremonial changing of the guard will take place. Returning to the Plaza de la Constitucion, the torch-wielding soldiers will load their muskets and fire a volley of joy.

Sam Bush – Savannah, Georgia
Though he admits a certain discomfort with the moniker “King of Newgrass,†Sam Bush has more than earned it. As cofounder and leader of the seminal progressive bluegrass band New Grass Revival through 18 years during the 1970s and ‘80s, Bush may not be the only person responsible for newgrass, the wild bluegrass stepchild that features rock ‘n’ roll grooves and extended virtuosic jams, but since New Grass Revival’s dissolution in 1989, Bush has certainly been one of the most brilliant of newgrass’s many bright lights.
Charlie Pate will open this evening’s performance.
