Wonderful Wednesday: 911

Wednesday, September 16 | 6-8 PM | Roller Rink

Meet 911, a Tallahassee-based band that has established itself as one of North Florida’s most unique music groups, performing original music, written by award-winning singer-songwriter Drew Tillman. Over the years, the band’s original music and arrangements evolved into the unique songs recognized and requested by fans and performed as only 911 can. Besides the original music and recordings, 911 also performs unique renditions of songs by classic rock and folk icons such as Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, John Hyatt, John Prine, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, the Beatles and countless others.

911 is simple: Drew Tillman, acoustic guitar and vocals; Rylan McDermott, drums and percussion; Richard Tengstedt, bass; and Steve Taff, electric guitar and vocals. No digital keyboards, no digital drums, no autotuning or other 21st-century technology. All you get is a raw, powerful rock band sound that is familiar but fresh.

Enjoy beer and wine from the Goodwood concession stand, plus delicious bites from Damas Café and a local food truck while you soak in live music beneath Goodwood’s historic oaks.

Tickets: $5 | Free for Goodwood Members | Free for kids age 15 and under

Community Learning Garden

Outdoor Education Enrichment for Schools, Groups, and Families

Outdoor education provides a dynamic, hands-on learning experience that supports physical, cognitive, and social development. These experiences naturally spark curiosity, build inquiry and problem-solving skills, and deepen connections to family, community, and nature.

At Goodwood Museum and Gardens, our educational enrichment programs include gardening education and forest trail walks, where participants explore plant life cycles, weather patterns, and the important role of insects and pollinators—bringing learning to life through direct interaction with the natural world.  Please email Stephany at operations@goodwoodmuseum.org or call 850-877-4202 ext 222 to schedule an excursion!
