Exciting News: Joshua Kinser Joins Black Eyed Blonde as The House Drummer at AJ’s in Destin!

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve landed the coveted house gig with Black Eyed Blonde (BEB) at AJ’s Seafood & Oyster Bar in Destin, Florida! This high-energy party band—voted Best Dance Band and Best Band on the Emerald Coast—delivers non-stop fun with a mix of crowd-pleasing covers and dance-floor fillers that keep the vibe electric all night long.

BEB features the powerhouse bass grooves of Dan Collins, a beast on the instrument whose funky, driving lines anchor the band’s infectious sound alongside talented bandmates like the amazing vocalist Becca and shredding guitarist Willie D. Together, we’re bringing high-octane live music that gets everyone moving.

AJ’s is a legendary destination on the Destin Harbor and one of Florida’s premier music venues. What started as a humble oyster-shucking spot has grown into an iconic hotspot on the Emerald Coast, famous for its waterfront deck, fresh seafood, and unforgettable live music every night. For nearly 36 years, AJ’s has been the place to be—ranked among the best live music experiences in Destin and a true staple of Florida’s Gulf Coast scene.

Catch us performing regularly, Sunday–Wednesday nights at 9 PM, with more dates throughout the week.

Big thanks to the BEB family and AJ’s team for this incredible opportunity. Let’s make some music! 🥁🎸
