Event Info
January 1, 1970
Join us at Jimmy B’s Beach Bar for an unforgettable performance by John Robert Egan, a St. Pete–based singer‑songwriter whose rich storytelling and Americana sound create the perfect coastal vibe. Originally from Illinois and a former firefighter, John traded the cold Midwest for a life of sun and saltwater, sailing down the Mississippi and across the Gulf before settling in St. Petersburg. His two‑year voyage inspired his debut EP, Devil On My Back, shaping the heartfelt, roots‑driven style that defines his music today.
John’s live performances blend acoustic warmth with soulful authenticity, featuring classic Americana covers from artists like Tom Petty, CCR, Paul Simon, Marc Cohn, The Band, Garth Brooks, Ray LaMontagne, and many more. His sets also showcase original music influenced by his nautical adventures, personal stories, and the vibrant Gulf Coast lifestyle. Whether he’s delivering a tender ballad or a foot‑stomping favorite, John brings connection, honesty, and easygoing energy to every song.
Experience the perfect beach‑bar soundtrack as John Robert Egan brings sun‑soaked melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and laid‑back Florida soul to the stage at Jimmy B’s.
