About Me

Hey, I'm Matt, owner of JaxRock, Jacksonville Florida's premier site for regional music. Thanks for stopping by! JaxRock.com is around to help local bands and venues meet, schedule events, and promote music, all free of charge. Be sure to sign your band or venue up for free at http://www.jaxrock.com. It only takes a few minutes, and it's a great place to get some exposure.

Jaxrock.com currently books several venues around town. If you are in a band, or are a manager, you can contact our booking agent Amii at [email protected] if you're interested in a show.

Jaxrock.com is proud to be partnered with Tattoo Todd and his radio show "The Scene" ( jaxrockradio.com ). Each week our Jaxrockradio.com radio personality, Tattoo Todd, produces an internationally syndicated internet radio podcast (distributed in over 40 countries worldwide) featuring bands from all around the state of Florida. Give a listen, and enjoy!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

...Any new bands or musicians. Chances are, I'll even buy you a beer, most likely. Or a shot, if I'm feeling up to it.

Music:

Of course we love music...Hence the site and the fanfare. In light of this, Jaxrock has become an active supporter of Internet Podcasting. We sponsor Tattoo Todd's "The Scene", and the whole giant damn family of Insomnia Radio (www.insomniaradio.net) as well as Dark Cloud Radio (darkcloudradio.com), who all bring local artists' music to the rest of the world.

You can check out the latest podcast at florida.insomniaradio.net (or just click the image). Insomnia Radio: Florida is syndicated in over 54 countries worldwide. Special thanks to Mike Powell for producing the show!

We also support Dark Cloud Radio (for our fans of heavier metal), which you can visit by clicking on the logo!

Thanks to Brenda (aka FunkyFaery ) for introducing us! Brenda writes some great stuff for Dark Cloud Radio, so go check it out!
