Live Music in South Walton

After you clean up from a long day at the beach, it’s time for a night out on the town. Looking for some live music to dance the evening away? We have plenty of options for you!

Every Sunday at Gulf Place, enjoy the summer concert series at the amphitheater. Each week, a new band plays from 5pm-8pm for free on the lawn. Grab a blanket or lawn chair and head to Gulf Place for the weekly fun. Finish off the evening with some ice cream at Sunrise Coffee Shop or a pizza at Pizza by the Sea to take back to your 30A vacation rental. 

For a more intimate setting, try 30A Songwriter Radio coffee shop. Tuesdays are Open Mic night, Thursdays are Local Vocals, and Friday is for Originals. Have some fancy Nitro Coffee with a kick or hot tea and enjoy the local tunes. You can also try the 30A Store in Seagrove Plaza. Every Friday from 6pm-9pm, enjoy drinks and free music for the Summer Music Series. 

Red Bar Jazz Band plays most nights at Red Bar creating a funky atmosphere at the Grayton Beach hot spot. John “Jabo” Starks plays the drums for the band and is best known for playing with THE James Brown. Local group Dread Clampitt also plays on Sundays for brunch and some Mondays. Besides cool tunes, Red Bar has amazing food like the popular Panne Chicken and Blackened Grouper.

Marie’s Bistro features live music each night during spring and summer. But if you want to make your own music, try Wednesdays and Saturdays for karaoke night! Sunday evenings are Music Bingo from 6:30pm-8:30pm. Each Bingo card has songs and musicians and the DJ plays tracks as you mark off your card. It’s free and open to all ages. Enjoy fresh sushi rolls or a delicious New York Strip for dinner.
