Ponte Vedra Concert Hall

Went and saw Ed Kowalczyk , formerly of Live, for a solo performance.

Very pleased with the intimacy of the venue. Acoustics were superb and although lighting had just a few snafus.

Two bars were available to order a wide selection of drinks and there were a few tall tables around to linger at either before , during or after the show.

Staff was wonderful, minus the unevenness of the ushers in enforcing photo and video regulations.

Be advised to bring some cash as the bar and parking charges are cash only. They do have an ATM but the fees were exorbitant.

The calendar of shows is out and if you see one of your favorite performers coming through the area you have to see them here or you'll be doing yourself a disfavor.

Do not miss seeing Your favorite artist here. Sound and visuals are great. This place makes living in the boonies tolerable! I am giving 5 stars because it may not have old world ambience but it has everything else.

Thumbs way up for the recently opened Ponte Vedra Concert Hall. As a concert-goer who resides at the beaches, I've attended countless events at The Freebird Cafe in Jacksonville Beach. I have to say that the quality of acoustics at this new venue blew me away.

SJCVenues, the management behind the the St. Augustine Amphitheatre, converted the Cornerstone Baptist Church into a multi-purpose venue, complete with a full bar and lounge area. I was especially excited to see my favorite brewery, Atlanta-based Sweetwater, being served cold on tap.

The acoustics at PVCH are absolutely phenomenal. Very crisp, CD-like quality, even at a standing-room only show with 800+ people. I had the pleasure of seeing the New Orleans Suspects and Darkstar Orchestra at this venue recently, and my friends and I commented on the impeccable sound quality each time. The classically "churchy" steepled ceilings and carpeted floors provide for an echo-free, BIG sound experience that had me thanking the lord for this venue!

I rated them just shy of five stars because of the dark, winding road the venue is loacted on and the poorly lit parking areas, as well as the generally churchy vibe of the place. (Once you leave the crowd and head for the bathroom you will immediately feel like you're late for Bible study.)

They do allow re-entry, which is a nice, unexpected plus for a concert hall. More renovations are in the future, so I'm excited to see this budding venue grow!
