In 2012, First Note Music Hall opened in Blue Mountain Beach, bringing a distinctive live music experience to Northwest Florida. After closing First Note Music Hall last year, First Note Entertainment owner Tommy Jackson is now bringing back the First Note experience with the help of two new venue partners, Seascape Resort in Miramar Beach and Vue on 30A.
Starting this spring, there will be live family-friendly performances every Friday and Saturday at Seascape Resort as well as every Sunday at the Vue on 30A in Santa Rosa Beach.
“We have been overwhelmed by the support and positive feedback from the local community and visitors to the area,” said Tommy Jackson. “We knew we wanted to bring the concept back but needed the right partners at the right time.”
As Jackson describes it, First Note Music Hall is a special music experience that features up-and-coming artists, songwriters and musicians of several genres on stage in one show. Jackson’s goal was to allow audiences to have an intimate night with the future stars of the industry in a family-friendly environment. The concept was an immediate success and First Note sold out over 150 performances.
“When Michael Whalen from Seascape contacted me about the possibility of a joint venture, I was hopeful to get back to the area,” said Jackson. “I knew that this was the right opportunity and I am very excited about all they bring to the table.”

Seascape Resort will utilize its expansive outdoor space to create a musical night under the stars every Friday and Saturday.
“They have so many things to offer the area,” added Jackson. “Great golf, tennis, accommodations, food… how about music? So we will built a year-round schedule where there will always be great music under the amazing skies of the Gulf Coast.”
During the month of March, First Note will feature many rising stars, including 10 Steps Back — a talented group of young boys from Georgia who are creating melodious alt-pop and rock music — and Shelly Fairchild, an amazing soul singer whose performances and high energy bring audiences to their feet and singing along.
Ray Scott will also be featured. After his huge success on radio with “Those Jeans”, XM Radio featured him as one of their “Highway Finds” in 2013 and his songs are played locally on 98.1 FM country radio. Jackson’s plan is to bring back many of the favorites as well as introduce many new artists that have excited him in the last few years.
