BLUE JAY NIGHT FLIGHT

A music festival on a higher wavelength.

November 28, 2026 • Casa Marina Hotel • Jacksonville Beach, Florida

BLUE JAY NIGHT FLIGHT is an elevated music festival built for those looking to travel to a higher wavelength.

Created by Jacksonville Beach’s Blue Jay Listening Room, NIGHT FLIGHT takes over the iconic Casa Marina Hotel for an intimate, immersive day and night of live music, art, and experience just steps from the Atlantic Ocean.

With only 350 boarding passes available, NIGHT FLIGHT trades the massive festival grounds and endless crowds for something more intentional: two stages, a carefully curated artist lineup, immersive installations, elevated hospitality, and unexpected moments throughout the historic oceanfront hotel.

The experience begins in the daylight and transforms as the sun goes down, carrying passengers from an afternoon by the ocean into an entirely different world after dark.

Inspired by the romance and glamour of vintage air travel, every detail of NIGHT FLIGHT is part of the journey, from boarding passes and flight crews to the Sky Club, hotel rooms, and spaces throughout Casa Marina transformed for the occasion.

This isn’t about seeing how many people we can fit into a festival.

It’s about creating something 350 people will never forget.

Lineup:

THE BRIGHT LIGHT SOCIAL HOUR

Austin’s psychedelic rock institution. Their debut swept the Austin Music Awards, and they have since played Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits and opened for Aerosmith and The Flaming Lips. Big grooves, thundering guitar, and plenty of room to stretch out.

PAUL McDONALD & THE MOURNING DOVES

Alabama born and Nashville built. Paul’s latest record, So Long to the Dark Side, is soulful, gospel-leaning Americana cut live in a single day. His band became the one everyone talked about at this year’s 30A Songwriters Festival.

SHANNON McNALLY

A Grammy-nominated songwriter with fourteen albums that move freely between Americana, soul, blues and folk. She came up on the jam band circuit alongside Derek Trucks and has worked with Dr. John and Rodney Crowell. She is also a seriously underrated electric guitar player.

SLAP DRAGON

Nashville’s acoustic funk band, led by bassist Scott Mulvahill and vocalist Laura Berens. Bluegrass instruments, a disco and R&B heartbeat, and a rotating cast of Nashville’s best session players. Their debut album Mission Statement arrived this year, and the live show is pure joy.

REMEDY TREE

Founded in 2015 by Gabriel and Abigail Acevedo, this Northeast Florida band blends bluegrass, old-time and folk. They are signed to Mountain Fever Records, have shared stages with Ricky Skaggs, Peter Rowan and The SteelDrivers, and are nominated for 2026 IBMA Momentum Band of the Year.

HANNAH STOKES BAND

An Orlando singer-songwriter and jazz vocalist who drifts between folk, soul, R&B and jazz. Think Joni Mitchell and Norah Jones. Her debut album, Right Where I Belong, is warm, honest and beautifully unhurried.

HARBER WYNN

Central Florida songwriter Hannah Harber Wynn, whose work has earned praise from American Songwriter and the Nashville Songwriters Association, alongside Thomas Wynn, one of Central Florida’s Southern rock pillars. Honest songs, delivered with nothing held back.

FUNKY BREWSTER

Orlando’s funk trio: Shine on guitar, Derek Engstrom on drums and Jason Joyner on bass. Years in the downtown clubs have been distilled into something gritty, greasy and entirely their own.

COMMON MAN

Common Man is the indie-pop duo comprised of singer-songwriters Compton McMurry and Meredith Johnson. This pair have been the sole unpaid interns at the Common Man LLC for three years now, and are going to climb the ranks within this musical empire.

THE RAMBLER KANE WRITER’S ROUND

with Alyse Dione, Howdy and Sun Child

Jacksonville’s own Rambler Kane draws on country, folk, blues and soul, and his first full-length album was recorded live at Blue Jay. He hosts a round of songwriters trading stories and songs.
