🎵 Live Music: Bench Warmer
September 27, 2025 @ 2:45 pm – 3:45 pm EDT
🎶 Live & Local at Kleman Plaza – Saturday, Sept 27 🎶
Welcome to the sonic soul of the festival—where the lawn becomes a stage, the city becomes a soundtrack, and you become part of the vibe.
Bench Warmer is the solo project of Cameron Gilson. What started out as a vie for the attention of an ex has blossomed into two full length bedroom pop albums and sappy acoustic ballads. After the release of his second record “Keep Me In Mind” in January 2025, Gilson has tried to keep inspiration fresh by shifting genres to more of a shoegaze sound with a new record set to be released in the next year.
Bring your blankets, lawn chairs, and festival spirit. Grab a bite or sip something tasty from our food and beverage vendors, and explore pop-up shops from some of our favorite local legends: Cap City Video Lounge, Rearview Vintage and Vinyl, Midtown Reader, 621 Gallery, and Tallahassee Film Society.
🎥 As the sun sets, stick around for a film under the stars: a special 30th anniversary screening of Empire Records (1995). Because nothing says “local love” like music, movies, and a lawn full of good people.
