SUMMARY:Brantley Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:Doors open 6:30PM \nAs one of the godfathers of country’s modern rock-and-rap edge\, multi-Platinum The Valory Music Co. trailblazer Brantley Gilbert knows life has a way of leaving a mark. With his seventh studio album\, Tattoos\, available now\, the Georgia native chooses to embrace it – inspired by the idea that his tattoos tell a story\, just like his songs. And just like his songs\, he’ll never hide the truth they reveal. An era-defining artist forever bonded to his fans\, Gilbert’s been mining the timeless values of hard-working dedication\, high-octane thrills and humble faith since his 2009 debut\, A Modern Day Prodigal Son\, creating a chart-topping grit-and-grace fusion which helped set the stage for today’s genre-blending format. \nWith his dedicated BG Nation behind him\, the fiery performer-songwriter has racked up more than 8.3 BILLION career streams\, boasting back-to-back Platinum albums and seven No. 1 hits including the RIAA 7x Platinum “Bottoms Up;” 2x Platinum “Country Must Be Country Wide;” 2x Platinum “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do;” 2x Platinum “One Hell of An Amen;” and the Platinum-certified “What Happens In A Small Town” with Lindsay Ell. His world-class pen helped create a watershed hit with Jason Aldean’s 4x Platinum country-rap game changer\, “Dirt Road Anthem.” And possessing a can’t-fake-it quality of fierce independence\, the ACM\, CMA and AMA award winner has toured alongside everyone from Willie Nelson and Toby Keith to Kenny Chesney\, Nickelback and more. Tattoos further cements his legacy – 10 cowritten\, co-produced tracks with an electrifying mix of in-your-face aggression and roughneck reflection\, as Gilbert’s diesel-powered smoke-and-soul vocal delivers another full-spectrum soundtrack to modern country life. \nTracks like full-throttle “Off the Rails” and intoxicating chart-climbing single “Over When We’re Sober” with Ashley Cooke lead a set packed with guest appearances from Gary LeVox\, Justin Moore\, Struggle Jennings and Demun Jones. Gilbert will embark on his headlining Tattoos Tour 2025 in February\, with stops across North America through the spring\, with additional festival dates this summer.

Changes In Latitudes has thrilled audiences with their amazingly authentic reproduction of the Jimmy Buffett concert experience. Steve Kareta mimics Jimmy’s casual storyteller style\, while these world-class musicians take you on a musical cruise around the sun-drenched tropical islands of the Caribbean.

Over their 20-plus year history\, the band has travelled from Maine to Barbados\, and Cape Cod to Arizona. From the 900-seat Walt Disney Theaters aboard the Disney “Magic” and “Wonder” cruise ships\, to the National Hamburger Festival in Akron\, OH\, in front of 6500 fans looking for their “Cheeseburger In Paradise”\, they’ve set attendance records across the country.

SUMMARY:Guy Harvey: The Documentary (FLIFF World Premiere Screening and Reception)
DESCRIPTION:The documentary follows Dr. Guy Harvey’s transformation from an inquisitive boy into a prominent advocate for ocean conservation. Growing up in Jamaica and trained as a marine biologist\, he dedicated his life to the creatures that first ignited his imagination\, capturing their beauty and power in striking artwork of ocean life that has become just as iconic. However\, beneath the surface of his paintings lies a more profound narrative\, one of commitment\, discipline\, and a lifelong mission to safeguard the waters that have given him purpose. What started as childhood sketches of blue marlins evolved into a global initiative where art\, science and conservation intertwine. This film explores that journey\, presenting a portrait of a man. \nDirected by Emmy Award-winning director and producer Nick Nanton\, the film has been selected to close out the prestigious Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival (FLIFF). The screening will be followed by a Q&A with cast and crew\, and a celebratory meet and greet event with Dr. Harvey will take place immediately after. \nTo watch the trailer\, visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-95pmlaPN0 \nTo purchase tickets\, visit https://fliff.com/events/guyharveythedocumentary/

SUMMARY:Ivy Stranahan 145th Birthday Tea at History Fort Lauderdale
DESCRIPTION:History Fort Lauderdale invites the community to celebrate the life and legacy of pioneering educator\, philanthropist and founder Ivy Stranahan during its Ivy Stranahan Birthday Tea at noon on Tuesday\, February 24 in the historic New River Inn. The tea event commemorates what would have been Ivy Stranahan’s 145th birthday and honors her lasting contributions to education\, preservation\, and the cultural foundation of Fort Lauderdale. Guests will enjoy an elegant afternoon of tea\, crumpets and light bites in one of the city’s most iconic historic landmarks with special guest Mary Cromartie Morris. \nAs an outspoken advocate for the Seminole Tribe\, Stranahan taught them English\, was responsible for building their first school and instilled practical skills such as how to use a sewing machine. Her humanitarian efforts eventually helped the Seminoles to set themselves up as a business\, allowing them to organize themselves as the Seminole Tribe of Florida\, Inc. in 1957. In 1911\, she helped to found and initially lead the Fort Lauderdale Woman\’s Club. In 1916\, Stranahan served as the first president of the Women’s Suffrage Association of Florida and later founded the local Audubon Society and was active in the Fort Lauderdale Garden Club continuing to oppose the growing commercialization of her beloved city. She organized the first group of Camp Fire Girls in the city and was a member of the exclusive 1919 Study Club. She is credited with founding the first Broward Red Cross Chapter in 1918 and was treasurer for Provident Hospital which served the Black community before Broward General was integrated. She was also a founder of the Fort Lauderdale Historical Society in 1962. \nAttendees will have the exclusive opportunity to view a curated selection of objects and artifacts from the Stranahan Collection\, including photographs\, personal papers and letters\, ledgers\, clothing and accessories\, books\, and ephemera donated by Ivy Stranahan to History Fort Lauderdale. The display offers a unique and intimate glimpse into her life\, work\, and enduring legacy. Mary Cromartie Morris\, Ivy Stranahan’s niece\, will provide attendees with a meaningful family connection to the woman whose influence continues to shape the Fort Lauderdale community.\nIn honor of Ivy Stranahan’s birthday\, all gifts made through February 24\, 2026\, will be matched\, doubling the impact of donations in support of History Fort Lauderdale’s mission to preserve and share the stories that define the city’s past\, present\, and future. \nHistory Fort Lauderdale offers a variety of engaging multicultural experiences throughout the year.
