🎵 MUSIC SPOTLIGHT: Airtight
Rocking the Ancient City! 🎸

Get ready to turn up the volume at the 2026 Chowder Festival! St. Augustine’s very own Airtight is hitting the stage to bring their signature "trippy alt-rock" sound to the party.

Known for driving rhythms and serious guitar licks, this local trio (Shawn, Luke, and Jeremy) knows exactly how to get a crowd moving. Grab a bowl of your favorite chowder, head to the stage, and let the local legends provide the soundtrack for the perfect festival day.

Don't miss the energy!
