Sunday: Democracy at Marina Jack

Sometimes Sundays can be too quiet. If you're looking for a way to energize your "day of rest" with live music in Sarasota, the open-air bar at the back of Marina Jack offers a big room and deck full of smiling people of all ages and inclinations dancing to the soulful reggae, hip-hop and tropical sounds of Democracy. From 4 to 8PM every Sunday afternoon, you can shake and sway to the hypnotic beat while oohing and aahing at the sight of the sun setting over the Sarasota Bayfront.

You don't need a date. Just find a seat at one of the many tables or at the bar, and get out on the dance floor to do your thing. It's a big, friendly celebration.



Democracy band members Oswald "Ham" Caines, Reggie Knights, Richy Kicklighter, and John Walker blend instrumental and vocal harmonies with warm, danceable energy. Democracy also plays at the 5 O'Clock Club on Hillview Street on Thursday nights.



Marina Jack is smoke-free indoors, with tropical breezes wafting through the room from the adjacent Sarasota Bay. Ya mon! No more silent Sundays.
