Back by popular demand! Bertie is kicking off his 2018-2019 tour with us right here in Tarpon Springs! Best known for his international chart-topping hit “Key Largo,” Bertie Higgins was raised in Tarpon Springs and once supported himself as a sponge diver until he took his battered set of drums and set off to follow the back beat heard around the world — Rock and Roll. For the past several years, Bertie and his group “The Band of Pirates” have toured extensively around the globe. He has received rave reviews and accolades from the music industry and his fans alike. He is recognized in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in Macon. This pirate and poet continues to write and sing about turquoise lagoons, golden sands and islands in the sun in a style he affectionately refers to as “Trop Rock”. We are lucky enough to have this artist living in our own backyard – don’t miss this awesome performance! [less-]

Back by popular demand! Bertie is kicking off his 2018-2019 tour with us right here in Tarpon Springs! Best known for his international chart-topping hit “Key Largo,” Bertie Higgins was raised in Tarpon Springs and once supported himself as a sponge diver until he took his battered set of drums and set off to follow the back beat heard around the world — Rock and Roll. For the past several years, Bertie and his group “The Band of Pirates” have toured extensively around the globe. He has received rave reviews and accolades from the music industry and his fans alike. He is recognized in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in Macon. This pirate and poet continues to write and sing about turquoise lagoons, golden sands and islands in the sun in a style he affectionately refers to as “Trop Rock”. We are lucky enough to have this artist living in our own backyard – don’t miss this awesome performance! [less-]

A Band Called Honalee is a modern-day folk trio inspired by the music and legacy of Peter, Paul and Mary. Musically accomplished, interactive and energetic, their show will allow you to experience this timeless music live onstage once again. The group believes the melodies and messages of the 1960s folk and folk/rock era are just as relevant today as they were when they were first sung, perhaps even more so. The mission of the band, which has a roster of 8 different vocalists, is to share this uniquely American music with new audiences, while rekindling the passion of life-long fans. Most of all, they celebrate the power of these songs to inspire people and bring them together once again. [less-]

What is power2give.org?
It’s Tampa Bay’s new funding platform for local arts organizations! The concept is simple: Nonprofit organizations list needs for a specific project – for example, costumes for an upcoming show or instruments for undeserved children. Visitors to the site choose the project that matches their interests or touches their hearts and make a donation. The donation may be as little as $5 but that very important contribution supports local arts and enables creativity to flourish.
With tools and resources for both donors and cultural organizations, power2give.org makes posting, donating and promoting projects convenient and engaging. On power2give, all gifts are processed even if the project only receives partial funding. Unlike some crowd funding sites, you keep the money you raise whether you hit your target or not. Projects are listed on the site for a maximum of 90 days, or until they meet their financial goals.
Who can post projects?
You may post a project if:
- You represent a 501(c)3 nonprofit arts and cultural organization located in Hillsborough or Pinellas Counties that has been registered as a charitable organization with the State of Florida for at least one year at the time of posting
- You are authorized to post projects on behalf of the 501(c)3 that you represent
- You hold a valid solicitation agreement in the State of Florida (If you are a professional solicitor, you are registered with the State of Florida and have a valid solicitation agreement with the 501(c)3 that you represent.)
- You can provide a copy of the organization’s 2012 990 IRS Form
Project Requirements
- Project funding will be used only for the intended purpose you state on the site
- Projects posted to the site will only be related to arts and culture organizations
- Project request amounts will not exceed $10,000.
