A Night to Remember: Live Music at the Flora-Bama on Christmas Eve 2024

This Christmas Eve, the Flora-Bama Lounge & Oyster Bar was alive with the sound of extraordinary live music, creating the perfect holiday vibe on the Gulf Coast. Nestled on the Alabama-Florida line, this iconic venue delivered an evening of soul-stirring performances from two exceptional talents: Bat Bennett and Willie Traywick.


Bat Bennett: A Guitar Virtuoso

The night kicked off with a breathtaking performance by Bat Bennett, a nationally acclaimed guitar-slinger whose reputation precedes him. Having performed in over 50 countries and featured in North American acoustic festivals, Bat brought his world-class mastery of guitar technique to the Flora-Bama stage.

Bat’s performance was nothing short of mesmerizing. His incredible voice paired with the dazzling precision of his guitar skills created an immersive musical experience. From complex fingerpicking to soaring melodies, each song showcased his versatility and command of the instrument. The high-energy set kept the crowd captivated, and his charismatic stage presence made everyone feel like a part of the show.

It’s no surprise Bat is celebrated as a consummate entertainer. The audience was on their feet, reveling in a performance that felt both intimate and larger-than-life.


Willie Traywick: Honky Tonk Energy

The evening took a turn toward country roots when Willie Traywick took the stage. Hailing from the small town of Wilsonville, Alabama, Willie is a singer-songwriter and Super Dirt Late Model race car driver who has taken the country music scene by storm. With five of his songs already making it to country music radio, Willie’s blend of Honky Tonk energy and heartfelt storytelling was a true crowd-pleaser.

Willie’s performance was a celebration of his journey—a tale of chance and determination. His authenticity shone through every note as he belted out tunes that stayed true to his Southern roots. The audience couldn’t help but dance along to his lively melodies, making the Flora-Bama feel like a classic country dance hall for the night. Willie’s charisma and genuine connection with the crowd added to the festive atmosphere.


A Coastal Christmas Tradition

Spending Christmas Eve at the Flora-Bama was a great experience. The combination of Bat Bennett’s guitar skills and Willie Traywick’s authentic country sound made for a dynamic and heartwarming evening. This night of live music served as a reminder of the rich talent we’re fortunate to have in the Gulf Coast region.

As the last chords rang out, the crowd cheered for more, embodying the spirit of joy and togetherness that defines the holidays. If you’re ever looking for a unique way to celebrate Christmas on the coast, the Flora-Bama’s live music scene is one you won’t want to miss.
