IN MEMORY OF KEVIN & TOMMY
The third annual Decades on the Beach celebration lit up the shoreline this past weekend at Jerry’s Italian Tiki Bar and Grille, combining the spirit of community, incredible live music, and a powerful cause: raising funds for The Jed Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to mental health support for teens and young adults.
With two days of sunshine, good vibes, and unforgettable performances, the event raised $840 to support mental health awareness and suicide prevention.
🎶 A Lineup That Brought the Beach to Life
The 2025 lineup delivered an eclectic mix of talent that had the crowd on their feet from start to finish. The weekend kicked off with the Caribbean rhythms of SeashoreSteelband, setting a tropical tone that matched the ocean breeze.
Mark Chiriboga & Darlene Knight followed with soulful duets that captivated longtime fans and newcomers alike.
Saturday heated up with The Breakaway Band, whose high-energy set had the crowd dancing well into the evening.
Lost Signal, dubbed “Florida’s hottest new band,” electrified the crowd with their fresh sound and crowd-pleasing performance.
Saturday & Sunday’s headliners brought it home in style:
Alex Ivanov’s Tribute to Jeff Beck stunned with powerful guitar work and artistry, while Beartoe delivered a raw, rootsy set that echoed across the waves.
Keeping the show rolling, emcee Skratch brought humor, heart, and hype to the stage, ensuring every act got the spotlight it deserved.
