Our Story

A Vision Turned Reality

Bart and Drew Davis, two brothers from Red Bay, Alabama, shared a dream of creating a space that truly captured the heart of the Shoals—an area known for its rich musical history. They envisioned a venue where music, community, and culture could come together, offering a unique experience for locals and visitors alike. But bringing this dream to life would be no small feat. With little to no backup plan—only their faith in themselves and their vision—they took the leap, fully committing to making FloBama a reality.

From the start, the challenges seemed endless. The brothers quickly discovered that their building required a complete overhaul. An unexpected building code forced them to tear out and completely rewire the entire structure. On top of that, they had to install a full sprinkler system and upgrade the power source to meet commercial standards. These setbacks weren’t just frustrating; they were costly and time-consuming. But instead of giving up, Bart and Drew adapted.

For weeks, they pushed through with nothing but a generator for power, working tirelessly despite the mounting obstacles. The days turned into nights, and exhaustion set in. Still, they refused to let their setbacks define their journey. With money running low and deadlines looming, the pressure was immense. But then, something incredible happened—friends stepped in.

Their support network of friends and community members rallied around them, offering their skills, time, and energy to help complete the construction and setup. As the July 27th opening date neared, the final stretch turned into a round-the-clock effort. That last week felt like a never-ending work marathon, with everyone taking short naps in the office—just enough to recharge for the next task. It wasn’t just about opening a venue anymore; it was about proving that passion, persistence, and community could make the impossible happen.

When the doors of FloBama finally opened, it became clear that all the hard work had been worth it. The venue quickly grew into a beloved gathering place, attracting people from all over the Shoals and beyond. Travelers from across the U.S. and even international visitors made FloBama a must-visit stop, drawn in by the music, the energy, and the story behind it all.

Thanks to the unwavering determination of the Davis brothers—and the friendships that helped bring their vision to life—FloBama is more than just a venue. It’s a testament to the power of perseverance, the magic of music, and the strength of a community that believes in something bigger than themselves.
