Florida's very own SAUCE BOSS

It's hard to put your finger on the mercurial Sauce Boss. Somewhere between a country preacher and an auctioneer lives an authentic roots musician, a chef, a raconteur, a purveyor of gourmet hot sauce, a songwriter, and a standup comedian.

The Sauce Boss is totally unique, with high energy originals, a commanding stage presence, and a musical/cooking demonstration. He makes a pot of gumbo onstage, mixing media like cornbread, literally singing the recipe. At the end of the show Wharton shares a meal with the crowd, turning strangers into friends as they flock to get a taste of community which no one else can deliver.

*Use your show ticket to receive your complimentary sample of the Sauce Boss' Gumbo from 6:00 - 6:30pm.*

*Festival Style Seating for this portion of the show. Lawn chairs permitted. ADA seats available upon request.

7:00 PM: VALERIE THEATRE
