Jimmy McIntosh brings his rock and roll-infused blues to the Sand Dollar Lounge's intimate stage. This is the kind of performance that feels like stepping back into the venue's storied past, when blues legends would drop by for evening sets that stretched late into the night. The opener slot here means catching an artist before the main act, in that sweet spot when the room is filling up and the energy is building.

The Sand Dollar has always been about the music first—no cover charge, just good players and an audience that knows how to listen. McIntosh's blend of rock and blues fits perfectly with the venue's legacy, the kind of gritty, authentic sound that made this place a landmark since the '70s. The 21+ crowd tends to lean into the music here, whether they're posted up at the bar or claiming one of the tables near the stage.
