Right??? So good!!!

Totally agree

It was a very raucous evening so she may have e been channeling the audience energy.

Totally agree! So much good local talent out there. One of our local guitarists from SW Florida just played the Star Spangled Banner at a Milwaukee Brewers game

So talented!!!!

Right?!

Was a great afternoon in Buckingham!!!

Agree!!! Trying to see them again soon

The song is Por Siempre Mexico I think

Oh yeah! Eric is definitely a talent!

Oh yeah! Check out some of the other videos on my channel. Several songs and bands that feature some slide guitar (Jack Shealy comes to mind). Same with Eric Whitener playing few songs with Tony Smith

Better to have stood in the ring bloodied than not at all.

Sounds like a plan! Lots of phenomenal talent and great venues on our side of the state. We go from Port Charlotte to Ft Myers (our home town) to Naples to Marco Island / Goodland / Everglades City to catch great music. If you haven't done so yet, be sure to check out the other videos and subscribe as well. Thanks!!!

@@FloridaBandsSW ..Yeah I'm from Sarasota ,so you're just down the Rd from me

Come on down! Worth the drive! We go up to Port Charlotte occasionally - the Twisted Fork has some great shows. Same with Leroys Kitchen. Think we're going to Cape Coral Sunday - Eric Claptons nephew is playing with a local band at Stevie Tomatos (local bar)

Absolutely! Be sure to check my other videos and bands

Thanks - definitely a more chill scene

That he can!!! Such a talent. He's also the lead singer for the band Rock Republic (have a bunch of their videos on my channel). He really connects with the audience and such a nice young man.

Thanks for subscribing! The singer, Eric Whitener, is a heck of a talent and connects with his audience emotionally. He's also a super nice young man an he's the lead singer in a band called "Rock Republic" (have a bunch of their vids on here). Be sure to check them out

Mike Imbasciani is soooo talented! Hoping to see him again soon

Same. And this vid is sooooo cool. I truncated it a bit because a person near the stage keeled over. Too hot and maybe too many beverages

Dude! That's awesome!!! Loooove LS.

They really are! First time my wife and I saw them, they were setting up their equipment at a large festival in Everglades City Fl. We were wondering if they were good. Well, as soon as they started, we knew! Be sure to check out some of the other bands. They are all so talented. Also, if you have not done so, please be sure to subscribe

@@FloridaBandsSW cool thanks 🙏🏼

Thanks!!!!

Rock is dead. Even the current generation listens to 60s - 90s

@@FloridaBandsSW no rock 🪨 s not dead ,it has skipped several woosie generations but it will roar back.

I think you're right! I do see some original music here in SW Florida. The Jack Shealy Band are doing some great things

Good stuff!!

Really are a great band!

Wow!!!! Thank you for reaching out from so fa away!!! Be sure to check my other videos - lots of good music here in Florida. Also, if you have not done so yet, please subscribe.

Look for others I have posted of Mike! He really is amazing. Also, be sure to subscribe if you haven't already. I try to upload several videos each week

Right?! So good! Be sure to check out my other videos and, if you have not done so, please be sure to subscribe and turn on notifications for my channel. I upload several videos each week. In fact, going tonight for a show

I hope I was positive but thanks for coming back!

Seen these guys a bunch. They are sooooo good!

That's awesome! Be sure to check out my other vids. a couple versions of Simple Man, sweet home Alabama, some Marshal Tucker, SRV, Johnny Cash.

@@FloridaBandsSW I sure will!! I promise you that! My earlier comment, I left out a huge part. I’m actually in that video… standing about 6 rows back. I was much younger and a brunette (natural hair color). I bet you can spot me out, most do. I still have my natural hair color, however it’s gray 😂. I’ll be sure to catch your other videos. I’m a huge fan of the artists you mentioned.

So cool!!!! On my videos, be sure to look for the Jack Shealy Band. He and his band are amazing on a different level than Rock Republic. Not better but just ...deeper. maybe more emotion? Also love Mike Imbasciani. Need to go see him this month. Cheers

That would be Sam. He goes to almost every show these guys do

That he does! Check out some of the solo acoustic videos I have of him on my channel

They are definitely loud. The starting vocals must be hard to hit but Eric, the lead singer, seems to do well hitting them. Bass could have been where we were standing - not sure. Overall, a great show. Be sure to check my other videos and bands

How do you really feel? At the end of the day, this band brings a lot to the stage, from Franz Ferdinand to the Cranberries to Def Leppard to Johnny Cash.

No argument! Going to see them tomorrow night - last show for a few months

Thanks! Hoping to see them in a couple days - downtown Ft Myers

Oh yeah! My pleasure

Heck yeah! This bar really is a great place for local and national talent

The Buckingham Blues Bar in Ft Myers

That's how good they are! The music plays itself! I am guessing that he held a note with the left hand as the lead guitar took over. I wonder if the sound guy echoed the bass riff? Net. They are definitely not milli vanilli. 😀

They are so good!!!! We are going to see them this weekend

Yes they did!!!!

Be sure to check out the other vids on my channel

The band is Rock Republic out of Marco Island, Florida. They have been playing together for 3 years I think. They are SO good! They create an awesome energy and vibe that the crowds love - who then give it back! Their shows are a definite GO TO. My wife and I follow them pretty regularly

Sweet! Thanks.

Welcome for sure! If you're in SW Florida and want to see them, you can find them on Facebook

He is about to be internet famous.

Eric or the band?

Right??!! So good!

“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”

Right???!!!! These guys are so frigging good!!! Check out all my vids!

Right??!!! I have a few version the Rock Republic doing this song. Good stuff!!!

Totally agree. This is a short clip of the full video posted a few weeks ago. It was truly an epic show that evening! Drinks were flowing and Eric played an hour longer than scheduled. Tony was spectacular on the slide!

That they do! Crowds love them

@SW_FloridaBands yeah, I play in a big band and half of them don't want to be there

NK

He is the man!!! There is "cool" and then there's Jack
