We’re very fortunate at JAX to have several musicians who provide live entertainment for our customers every day. Here’s one of their stories.<\/p>\n

Talk\u00a0about what you do when you\u2019re not playing at the airport.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When not at the airport, I am a swim coach and a world ranked competitive swimmer. The swimming has taken me all over the world, as has my performing. I’ve played in Uruguay, Argentina, Australia and Africa. I’ve also performed in a variety of venues throughout the United States, and of course, here in Jacksonville. That travel has influenced the instruments I play, which include the\u00a0harmonica, didgeridoo, ukulele, mountain\u00a0dulcimer and washboard to name a few.<\/p>\n

How did you get involved in the airport music program?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I first learned about the airport music program through Al Poindexter, a music partner for many years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What keeps you coming back to play a non-paying gig?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The reason that I perform in the airport as a non-paying position is because it allows me to meet many wonderful people, perform in a beautiful setting and most of all make people relaxed and happy before or after their flights.<\/p>\n
