Here Come The Judds: A Night of Music & Community at the Historic Port Theatre

Port St. Joe is set for an unforgettable night of live music, storytelling, and community spirit as Here Come The Judds: A Tribute takes the stage at the Historic Port Theatre on Saturday, January 31, 2026.

This special performance is more than a concert—it’s a fundraiser benefiting the Historic Port Theatre, a beloved downtown landmark that continues to serve as a cultural hub for live music, arts, and community gatherings along Florida’s Forgotten Coast.

A Tribute Rooted in Authentic Nashville Talent

Unlike a traditional tribute show, Here Come The Judds features two of Nashville’s most respected artists, bringing genuine country roots and personal connections to the legendary Judds catalog.

Meet the Performers

Victoria Venier

Victoria Venier credits Wynonna Judd as one of the driving influences behind her decision to leave Dixon, Illinois and pursue a music career in Nashville. Her journey has included sharing the stage with Loretta Lynn, Joe Diffie, and Brenda Lee, along with a solo appearance on the world-famous Grand Ole Opry.

Victoria is also an accomplished songwriter—her song “Back to You” appears on Take 6’s Grammy-nominated album, The Standard. She hosts and produces Dollywood’s I Will Always Love You Songwriter Festival and is a familiar favorite in Gulf County thanks to her performances at Blast on the Bay. Audiences will also recognize her from the upcoming television series The Running Father.

Liz Byler Shea

Liz Byler Shea brings an impressive blend of acting and musical talent to the stage. As an actress, she has appeared in national commercials for Target and Toyota, and performed vocally for Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. Her film credits include October Sky, Other Voices, Other Rooms, and John Grisham’s A Painted House.

Musically, Liz has toured with Martina McBride, performed on stage with Lee Greenwood, and appeared as a solo artist on television’s Star Search, earning a perfect score from the judges—including Naomi Judd herself. That moment led to time spent with Naomi Judd, whom Liz now proudly counts among her musical influences.

Supporting a Beloved Port St. Joe Landmark

Funds raised from Here Come The Judds directly support the Historic Port Theatre, helping preserve this treasured venue for future concerts, films, and community events. Originally built in the 1940s, the theatre remains a cornerstone of downtown Port St. Joe and a shining example of how the arts strengthen local communities.

Attending this concert means enjoying world-class talent while giving back to the heart of Port St. Joe’s arts scene.
