Wednesday: Florida Mountain Boys at JR's Old Packinghouse Cafe

Put on your goggles and headband and get ready for speed. The Florida Mountain Boys will be whizzing through their lively bluegrass repertoire tonight at J.R.'s Old Packinghouse Cafe (on Old Packinghouse Road, one block east of Cattleman Road) in Sarasota.

While not all down-home Southern boys, these string-thing artists bend guitar, banjo, fiddle, and standup bass to their wild wills, regaling the crowd with bluegrass standards and originals that sound like you might have heard them all your life.

J.R.'s Old Packinghouse Cafe is smoke-free, family-friendly, and serves a full menu of comfort food in a funky Old Florida setting that used to be a celery packing warehouse (thus the name). You can hear live music here six nights a week. The show starts at 7PM, but get there earlier to snag a table and put in your food order. Then just let your feet do their stompy thing when the fiddlin' begins.
