Farmers Markets

Santa Fe River Jam: Harbor-Wynn

June 21, 2025                       Tickets on sale now                                            

2PM to 5PM                         


In cooperation with the Santa Fe River Jam, Santa Fe Festival Field and RGSR Events, Rum 138 is thrilled to present Harber Wynn on SATURDAY June 21, onstage from 2 to 5 pm.

Harber-Wynn: they’ve been each other’s muse, co-writer, producer, merch slinger and sunrise driver as they’ve released records in separate projects and raised babies. Thomas Wynn and Hannah Harber have been stalwarts in the Florida roots community, leading Thomas Wynn & The Believers and Hannah Harber & The Lionhearts, respectively.

Orlando Weekly says “In terms of talent concentration, there’s probably no greater power couple in Orlando music than leading Americana light Hannah Harber Wynn and Southern rock messiah Thomas Wynn.”

Creative Loafing Tampa writes: “Hannah Harber and Thomas Wynn ought to be among the official bearers of Sunshine State Southern rock. When Harber’s gut-wrenching vocal meets the raging guitar of Wynn, it’s full on sparks. And prepare to fall over when [this] power couple harmonizes.”

Festival Tickets can be purchased at the link below or onsite at Rum 138 the day of the event.

The Rum 138 “Sanna Bar” will be open, serving wine, beer, our signature strawberry wine slushies and Premium Blend TM mixed drinks - be sure to try a vodka vanilla lemonade, made with real Madagascar vanilla!
🍺🍷🍹🍋🥤🍓

Vendors will be onsite until 5 pm.

Be sure to review the Eventbrite information regarding the full music weekend event at Santa Fe Festival Field in High Springs.

Weeds of Eden

Sunday 🕑 2PM to 5PM

Weeds of Eden are an eclectic band based in Gainesville, Florida, performing together since 1994. Their sound is folk-rock, over a world-beat foundation. In addition to the original compositions, they cover hundreds of traditional, folk, R&B, Celtic, seasonal, and rock standards. The dudes in the band particularly like Cowboy and Filthy Pirate songs, but substitute cute lyrics over swear words if children are in the audience.


The Weeds have appeared on the PBS television series “CD Highway” and several of their recordings are in the sound-track of the award-winning documentary “Fish-Soup”. The Weeds have played onstage with rock legend Bo Diddley, Nashville singer/songwriter Pierce Pettis, and New York folksinger Joe Crookston. Returning to the Rum 138 stage, this Weeds of Eden show is gonna be more fun than a hoe-down! Dancing, eating, drinking, and merriment!
