Lovegrove Gallery & Gardens in Matlacha hosts musician Jim Tucke today

Lovegrove Gallery & Gardens, 4637 Pine Island Road, Matlacha, is hosting musician Jim Tucke today from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.

Tucke combines drums, piano and vocals simultaneously in a solo act that he has taken to venues throughout Lee and Collier counties. He specializes in the music of the Beatles and feels right at home playing in front of the large backdrop of the Fab Four on the stage in the waterfront botanical gardens.

Tucke has been called "a real crowd pleaser." He gives visitors an interactive experience and sometimes adds his own twist to personalize the Beatles' lyrics.

Tucke performs from 1:00-4:00 p.m. at Lovegrove every Sunday.

And if you are looking for something new to do for your honey on Valentine's Day, owner and artist Leoma Lovegrove may have just the thing. Lovegrove Gallery & Gardens is hosting its Fifth Annual Valentine's Day Wedding Vow Renewal on February 14, 2012, from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m.

The evening will feature live music and a light show in the tropical botanical gardens. Couples will be able to feed each other wedding cake after enjoying hors d'oeuvres and a champagne toast. Each couple will also receive a handpainted certificate by which to remember the occasion.
