If you want to hear songs about Florida legends, the St. Johns River, colorful characters and
backwater places then come hear Al Poindexter and River Rise perform original songs, old
timey songs and blues tunes backed up on Al’s National steel bottleneck guitar or fast picking
clawhammer banjo.
Al is the winner of the 2014 St. Johns Riverkeeper Song Contest and has been a performer
and avid collector of Florida folklore and songs for over 20 years, writing fresh, new tunes
about life in old Florida. Free and open to the public.
