This Saturday, The Cumberland Sound Ferry will host a one-time acoustic performance by cellist and cyclist, Ben Sollee, during his coastal southeast tour to Pedal for Poverty with his cello on his back.

Ben will perform a 30 minute set with his drummer, Jordan, while ferrying from St. Marys, Ga., to Fernandina Beach, Fla., as part of his tour to raise money to combat poverty.

Passengers can purchase a $15 roundtrip ticket to sail on the 2:30 p.m. ferry out of St. Marys and hear a preview of what Ben will perform the next evening at Jack Rabbits in Jacksonville.

Five dollars of each ferry ticket purchased on Saturday will be donated to Ben’s cause.

Passengers have the option to sail out of Fernandina Beach, at 10 a.m. or 1 p.m. to return on the performance ferry at 2:30 p.m. or to sail out of St. Marys, at 2:30 p.m. for the performance and return on one of two later ferry trips out of Fernandina Beach.  A total of 70 passengers (including cyclists) will be allowed on this trip.
