Florida’s discography of artists spans nearly every genre of music, from balladeers like Pat Boone to country artists like Slim Whitman, and rockers and pop stars including Tom Petty and the Backstreet Boys. Also on the playlist are musical legends including Ray Charles, Jimmy Buffet, and the Bee Gees—all of whom will be seen and heard in this fun-filled presentation of trivia, audio clips, and archival videos. Just press play!

Native Floridian Gary McKechnie is a two-time National Geographic author, author of America’s best-selling motorcycle guidebook, and two-time winner of the Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Award. On stage, he has honed his skills as a motivational storyteller, a stand-up comedian, and improv actor. He is also a guest speaker aboard the ships of Cunard, Seabourn, and the Silversea lines.

Named by Elvis Presley Enterprises as one of the Top Ten Elvis Tribute Artists on the planet, audiences will be mesmerized by Matt’s authentic portrayal of the King in his prime: young, agile, and with the voice of a lion! He has even earned the approval of Elvis’ friends and family, who have said:
“When I heard [Matt]… now if I close my eyes that’s Elvis. It touched my heart. The only person I ever heard sing like that was my brother, and [Matt] was real close—SCARY— that’s how close it was.” Billy Stanley (Elvis’ Step Brother)
“Matt is incredibly gifted & handsome, with incredible energy and sex appeal.” Joyce Bova (Longtime Elvis Girlfriend)
Matt has even been heard on SiriusXM’s ELVIS RADIO!
With most fans being endlessly disappointed by cheesy Elvis impersonators, who dwindle the best-selling solo artist of all time into nothing more than a Halloween costume and a lip curl, this nationally-acclaimed concert is changing the game!

Please RSVP at (352) 341-6428 or register at the link below. During the 1600’s and 1700’s, piracy raged on the open seas as merchant ships and more were robbed for their cargo. In contrast to the movies, pirates were not lovable characters with hearts of gold. They were murderous sociopaths, but fascinating nonetheless. The Golden Age of Piracy is a common designation for the period between the 1650s and the 1730s, when maritime piracy was a significant factor in the histories of the North Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Join us to learn all about it and stop in to see our temporary “Florida Pirates” exhibit in the John Murray Davis rotating gallery inside the museum. Doors open at 6 pm for access to the museum after hours. Lecture begins at 7 pm.

He has published four books, including Privateers of the Americas: Spanish American Privateering from the United States in the Early Republic, The Golden Age of Piracy: The Rise, Fall, and Enduring Popularity of Pirates, and A Crisis of Peace: George Washington, the Newburgh Conspiracy, and the Fate of the American Revolution, which was a finalist for the 2020 George Washington Book Prize.
