Lynyrd Skynyrd Lynyrd Skynyrd is a Jacksonville institution. The Van Zant House on the Westside honors the band's legacy and so does a marker at the site of the former Hell House in Green Cove Springs, where they wrote music. "Sweet Home Alabama" is played at the end of nearly every Jaguars game.

Tedeschi Trucks Band The Tedeschi Trucks Band is spearheaded by local favorites Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks. In 2010, the two combined their talents to form the Tedeschi Trucks Band, a blend of American soul, blues, rock, and country. Tedeschi Trucks Band christened Daily’s Place in 2017, performing the first ever concert in the amphitheater. Tedeschi and Trucks also performed the "Star Spangled Banner" before the Jaguars' playoff victory against the Chargers.
