THE BAND
Hailing from Fernandina Beach, Florida, Gilberto '77 gets their namesake from the Gilberto ship that crashed on the island on Thanksgiving Day, 1977. More than 25 tons of bud were burned up during the crash, wafting good vibes to all around. Gilberto '77 blends genres to create some improvisational melodic indie funk fusion jams to lighten your mood and lift you up, like a sweet 1977 coastal breeze.
