"None of them are indie bands anymore - they're all on major record labels."  But they get no airtime on local radio?  Why not?

Talk to the guys and gals at Clear Channel or whatever its name is now (and the handful of other companies that own pretty much all of the radio stations in the USA).

Also Timmy B says: " One of the things we wanted in picking our destination for retirement was the city had to be large enough to have a lot of great cultural things, such as concerts.  We have been largely disappointed at the lack of shows so far.

It's been said on other threads regarding Jacksonville as a whole, but this is where NOT having a large, well-known university nearby really hurts us.  Culturally, we appear to be far behind where we could/should be."

I suggest you go see the Jacksonville Symphony.  We do about 100 concerts a year and have something for almost every taste.  I think it is safe to say it provides world class symphonic entertainment (LIVE MUSIC) in Downtown Jacksonville for a reasonable price. Indie Rock, no. But good nonetheless!
A David Bowie Tribute is coming up pretty soon. Also a show with hip hop artist Wyclef Jean at Daily's Place. That should float your boat.  You can find it at:   JaxSymphony.org

Sounds like a winner, MM.  I guarantee you we will take in that Bowie show as long as it happens when we are in town.  (We have a couple of months out of town to visit family/friends up north.)  Thanks for the heads-up!  :)

I asked the question earlier, kinda tongue-in-cheek, but seriously, people really listen to FM radio for their music?  I mean, to me, that's the equivalent of people that have nothing but over-the-air TV at their house.  How many people actually do that? 

I think many people do out of laziness. If your drive is going to be under 10 minutes, taking out your phone and hooking it up, selecting music and then driving is more effort than it's worth to get a song or two in.

Having said that, I find it amazing that people can stand to listen FM, Bluetooth, and XM; the sound quality is incredibly poor. If I'm stuck with those options I'll ususally just put on a podcast.

My dad would listen to Jones College while we were sailing, an elbow on the tiller, a scotch in his hand, and the portable FM secured with an elastic cord.
I rediscovered the now internet only station during a visit a few years ago.
The home of "Beautiful Music" (their label) has kind of an ambient vibe, beyond easy listening, the experience is like doing the breast stroke slowly in a lap pool filled with cough syrup and faint memories.

Why would you need your phone to listen to sat rad?  I've had it in every vehicle I've owned since 2003, first as an add-on, then in the head unit itself.  Sound quality?  I'm in a car, half the time in a convertible with the top down.  I'll take quality selection of music and zero commercials and inane talk over a little degradation in sound, any day.

Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

Fucking sad how underutilized this facility is.

Sorry to say but count me as one.  I often spend 2-5 hours a day performing with a full symphony so I actually get an incredible "fix" right there.  And yes I cut the cord to cable about 7 years ago and use OTA. Since I have a Smart TV I also have wi fi and therefore YouTube plus Amazon on my TV.  Considering my daily schedule and the fact I have 2 kids (11 and 14) I cannot justify the monthly cable bill. I think I've saved at least $6800 in cable bills (12 months x 7 years x $80), or at least it was $80 a month when I quit paying.  Most of my friends pay way more than that (in some cases up to $200 monthly).  And I am in front of a TV maybe 1 or 2 hours per day, on average. 

Listen to a lot of CD's in my car and at home.....  I'm definitely behind my brother in law who is introducing me to streaming and Apple's I Tunes...

But, you basically are saying the same thing as I am, you are just doing it in a MUCH more financially responsible way.  You are viewing FAR more than just OTA; you're using your smart tv to pull in content from everywhere.  As for music, options like iHeart Radio, Pandora, etc. have expanded our choices even further than sat rad, but they are much more problematic.  You usually have to go through your phone, which is the biggest downer for me.

I am tempted to do the same with cable (actually, uVerse) but the amount of different movie channels my wife watches make that difficult.  However, the great discounts that I get from being an ATT Unlimited customer for wireless have made it much less painful than it was only a year or so ago.

My kids are 32 and 30, now so I do have a little more disposable income than I did when they were bleeding me dry living at home!   ;) ;) ;)  I'm still looking forward to hearing you play but (sadly) it probably won't be until next season.

I agree.  But they are still ramping up.  Also, outdoor amphitheaters as a general rule don't have shows in the winter.  The artists won't play because the weather is too unpredictable (even in sunny Florida) and its a pain to have to cancel shows, or play in a storm.

People listen to the radio in the car, in Jax and most other cities. I don't think that has much to do with the failure of Daily's Place to book acts from the current century. It has everything to do with the management playing it safe and focusing its attention on a particular age group/demographic.

This thread makes me sound more anti-dad rock than I am. I don't mind these shows playing at Daily's Place or anywhere else in NE Florida. They were coming to St. Augustine Amphitheater and other venues long before they came to Daily's. What I mind is this city-owned venue almost exclusively booking acts of this type to the exclusion of anything else.
