Come out to Churchill’s at 8 pm Sunday, July 26 for the first annual Jitney Fundraising Concert. Get your tickets now here because this isn’t going to be an old fashioned PBS telethon. We’re looking to throw a great rock concert with many of the finest and most fun musicians South Florida has to offer.  Among the fantastic musicians playing are Mr. Entertainment and the Pookiesmackers.

You might know Mr. Entertainment and the Pookiesmackers from The Best of Miami, where they were rewarded the best songwriter award this year. Hear them live at our concert and check out our interview.
