Pete Harris was a local singer, song writer and musician who performed in our area - Sebastian's "Jimmy Buffett". He acknowledges the Friends of St. Sebastian River in his albums and supports our efforts to preserve the habitat and beauty of the St. Sebastian River. He has even recorded a song about the St. Sebastian River on his "Songs From The Hammock" album, pictured at left!
Pete passed away in April 2007 from brain cancer. We thank him for his long-time support of the St. Sebastian River and offer our best to his wife and family.
