BEST ROCK/POP BAND BEST LOCAL COVER BAND

Captain Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters It was no contest as this Jacksonville-based group handily collected the most votes to rule in both these categories. Named after a band in the Tom Hanks film That Thing You Do! about The Wonders, a fictional band that was supposed to be real, (watch the film and you’ll get it) band leader and founder J Bird, with current members Buster, Joker, Marc, Mel and Peter, bring a fun and fantastic feeling to the stage and happily refer to themselves as a “band of misfits.” Now sponsored by Coors Light and endowed with an official bus to cart the band around, CG & the SSS cover everything from classics to the latest and do it in style, locally covering the rock/pop scene in covers galore. Runner-up rock/pop band: Big Daddy Jasper Runner-up local cover band: The Shenanigans
