The Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation’s plans are underway for the island’s favorite end-of-season party – Beer in the Bushes. It will be a swinging good time from 6 to 10 p.m. April 4 on the grounds of SCCF headquarters on Sanibel Captiva Road with the Squirrel Nut Zippers, an American swing and jazz band formed in 1993, taking the stage.
“You’ll want to swing by and check out all of the action as we twirl and twist the night away to the sounds of the Squirrel Nut Zippers,” said SCCF Events Director Jeff Siwicke. “Put on your dancing shoes and wear the swingiest clothes you can find because you won’t want to sit this one out.”
Thanks to returning Presenting Sponsor Wimmer Communities, Encore Music Sponsor The Marcums, and new Food Truck Alley Sponsor HM Restaurant Group, the beloved outdoor party will feature a variety of craft beers, a food truck alley, and entertainment sure to get you moving.
The Squirrel Nut Zippers rocketed from the underground scene of Chapel Hill, NC, to the national stage. The band’s music is an infectious blend of Delta blues, gypsy jazz, 1930s–era swing, klezmer, and Southern storytelling. They found commercial success during the swing revival of the late 1990s with their 1996 single “Hell.”
In addition to great music, guests will enjoy a variety of food and beverage options, including beer and wine tastings, soft drinks and water, snacks, and dinner offerings. Sponsorships are available at these levels:
