Music is a window into Florida's many cultures and traditions. Just as Florida treats visitors and residents to its vast natural diversity, so too can it lead you through an abounding musical landscape.
Each Florida Music Tour acts as your guide to a musical genre or style that takes you through Florida's musical history and across the state to where that music came from and where it can be heard today. So how do you start your Florida Music Tour? It’s easy! Just listen, learn and visit!
