Sunday

Noon - 1:00pm          Wine Music with Phillip Bray

2:00pm - 6:00pm  Bill Wharton - The Sauce Boss

Bill Wharton (Sauce Boss) has cooked gumbo on stage for over 150,000 for free. He mixes his own spicy original music--Florida Slide Guitar Blues--and adds his famous Liquid Summer hot sauce right into every night's cooking demonstration of his own gumbo recipe. It's a multi-sensory soul shouting picnic of rock and roll brotherhood. And at the end of the night, everybody eats.

"The Sauce Boss does his cooking on stage
Stirring and a' singing for his nightly wage
Sweating and a' fretting from his head to his toe
Playing and buffetting with the gumbo"
from "I Will Play for Gumbo" by Jimmy Buffett (2000)
