After nearly 15 months of renovations, the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall is set to reopen its doors to the public on Aug. 1 with its first official concert featuring multiple Grammy Award-winning artist Dan Tyminski.
Tickets for Dan Tyminski Band go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, March 7, through the official ticketing partner, AXS, and in person at The St. Augustine Amphitheatre Box Office, which is open daily from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Ponte Vedra Concert Hall Box Office hours details will be released closer to the grand opening.
Over the past year and a half, Ponte Vedra Concert Hall has been completely transformed into a modern, state-of-the-art live music venue. Designed by the architecture firm Fisher Koppenhafer, the venue will feature:
These enhancements set a new standard for live music experiences, ensuring that music fans from across the nation can enjoy a premium hospitality experience and unforgettable performances at Ponte Vedra Concert Hall for decades to come.
“This moment is a celebration of the hard work and dedication of so many people who brought this renovation to life,” said Gabe Pellicer, CEO and president of SJC Cultural Events, Inc., the 501(c)3 nonprofit that manages and operates Ponte Vedra Concert Hall. “We’ve reimagined the venue as a world-class destination, and it’s truly special to have a bluegrass icon like Dan Tyminski open this next chapter. We’re thrilled to welcome the community back so we can continue creating unforgettable concert experiences and sharing this incredible space with live music fans.”
Jerry Wilson, president of Friends of Ponte Vedra Concert Hall added, “Today’s announcement is very exciting. After 14 years of hosting top-quality performances, the dream of a new era will become a reality in 153 days. This is a tribute to the power of collaboration among St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners, St. Johns County Administration, SJC Cultural Events and Friends of Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, all working on behalf of our community. I am deeply grateful to our dedicated board of directors, unwavering members, committed volunteers, corporate sponsors and advisers for their long-term support. We are poised to open as one of the favorite places to experience live music in the country, and I can’t wait for this opening show.”
Tyminski was 6 years old when his parents began taking him to fiddle contests, square dances and bluegrass festivals across New England. For a young musician who would later become one of the biggest names in modern-day bluegrass, those early experiences were life changing.
Throughout his 30-plus year career, Tyminski has left an indelible mark across modern music. His unmistakable voice accompanies George Clooney’s performance of “I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow” in the film “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” and his global hit collaboration with Swedish DJ Avicii on “Hey Brother” has been streamed more than a billion times.
A longtime member of Alison Krauss and Union Station, Tyminski has earned multiple Grammy Awards and has become one of bluegrass music’s most celebrated artists. His electrifying live performances with the Dan Tyminski Band have made him a must-see act for music fans of any genre. His latest album, “Dan Tyminski: Live From The Ryman,” was released in 2024 and is Grammy-nominated.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m. for the Aug. 1 show. Tickets are $59 to $79. For further details, go to pvconcerthall.com/events/detail/dan-tyminski-band.
