Our Music Our Future, presented and hosted by The Jessie, is a series that brings emerging artists into Downtown Jacksonville, Florida. It is an evening curated by Winterland Presents in celebration of the shared experience of live music, one of the most primal forms of human connection. Join us in moving into a future where music and culture flow freely through our cityscape.

The first installation of the series brings Atlanta's Omni. The music of Atlanta trio Omni has always swung fast and hit hard. And Souvenir, their fourth album and second for Sub Pop, packs their biggest punch yet. Inactive during the majority of the pandemic–the longest downtime in their history–they approached this recording with lots of pent-up energy. They converted their creative fuel into sharp, driving songs that land immediately, sporting chopping riffs, staccato beats, and wiry melodies.

Direct support comes from La Sécurite (Montréal/Tiohtià:ke) - a collective whose art punk is equal parts: jumpy beats, off-kilter arrangements and minimalistic melodic hooks; run through an insomniac filter, the result of excessive exposure to the city’s neon lights. The lyrics share the ethos of the Riot Grrrl movement, and celebrate the autonomization of women, friends (mean and nice) as well as benevolence. The motley bunch meanders the fringes of punk, new wave and krautrock, mischievously flouting stylistic form every chance they get.

DUCATS (Jax, FL) - local jangle/gaze crumbs serve it up.

The second installion of the series brings Benny Trokan from NYC (Daptone Records). With a gruff voice not unlike his Spoon bandmate Britt Daniel, Benny Trokan makes passionate, retro-minded garage rock as a soloist. After tenures in bands including his own Robbers on High Street and Greg Cartwright's Reigning Sound, he joined Spoon as bassist in 2019. His solo debut EP, Hey Lover, appeared in 2022 and was steeped in clattering vintage rock and soul. The full-length debut Do You Still Think of Me? followed suit in 2024.

Direct support is Snacks from Huntsville, Alabama. The latest single “Eyes Closed” coasts on the spirit of the sublime, featuring Zach’s sinewy delivery and a rhythmic chugging arrangement that the late John Peel would have been wild for. It entertains that world of wonder and imagination that exists in the imagination of the beyond when the fantasias of the unconscious and the prelude to dreams.

Opening the show is Rambler Kane, a beloved Jacksonville native who's classic country calls back to John Prine with contemporary notes that graze Justin Townes Earl.

The third installation in the 2025 series brings Atlanta's Mamalarky - tenderly tangled indie rock. The sum of friendships and collaborations dating back to their teenage years, the band melds flashy instrumental moves with head-sticking hooks and lovesick lyrics welcoming anyone into their private world. While Mamalarky are ostensibly an indie-pop group, they stand out from the laid-back melancholy moods of contemporaries with complex instrumental interplay that inspires lean-forward listening.

Direct support is Jacksonville's very own Kenzie's Place - a delectable blend of R&B and indiepop. Kenzie's music serves as a catalyst for transformation, taking you from the everyday to a beautiful sonic realm. With every note, she paints a vivid soundscape that transcends the ordinary, inviting you to escape into a world where beauty and melody reign supreme. Beyond the stage, Kenzie is a passionate advocate for creating a safe space for fellow creatives.

The opening act is TBA.
