The Band Be Easy 

has experienced a 

growth in popularity 

over the past three 

and a half years that 

its members would have been 

hard-pressed to imagine. At One 

Spark 2015, Jacksonville’s annual 

crowdfunding festival, it was 

voted #1 for music. 

Although Aaron Thomas, one 

of the lead vocalists, doesn’t like 

Gregory ‘Soulo’ Lyons 

Lead Guitar 

to stamp the group with any one 

genre, he says the band produces 

soulful sounds. 

“We blend different genres, 

and we’re a soulful type of Rock 

‘n’ Roll and Blues and Motown 

and Reggae; just a blend of all 

these different styles that we kind 

of created as our own,” he says. 

Thomas is joined by Soulo 

Lyons, Arthur Jones (A.J.), Will 

Montgomery, Rick Benjamin 

and Jonathan Johnson. Not all 

members are from Jacksonville, 

Rick Benjamin 

Bass Guitar 

but they have come to enjoy the 

city’s burgeoning music scene and 

their local mates. 

“I love the city,” Thomas says. 

“We’ve reached out to all different 

sides of town [and we’re able] to 

be a part of great communities 

throughout. We wanna come 

in and socialize and meet new 

people. 

“As a minority – an all-black 

band – sometimes you get in a 

situation where you get a little 

uncomfortable. There’s a lot of

dreads in the building,” he says 

of different audiences. But here, 

“it’s irrelevant. People are people, 

[it] doesn’t matter what color, 

and we all just wanna have a 

good time. The city has played 

a huge part in allowing us to be 

ourselves, watching and helping 

us grow.” 

Though members of The Band 

Be Easy played at the Beaches 

for the longest time, they’ve 

branched out. Regulars in St. 

Augustine, they’ll do a show at 

Arthur Jones 

Lead Keyboard 

Downtown’s Art Walk every now 

and then. And they play at River 

City Brewing Company every 

other Sunday. 

The group’s self-titled first 

album dropped in February. 

“We had a lot of time to think 

about ... what we wanted to do, 

what crowd we wanted to reach,” 

Thomas says. It mixes genres and 

showcases the talent and variety of 

the band. 

Already at work on their next 

album, the band is focusing on a

more soulful Reggae style. 

Despite playing more than 300 

shows last year, Thomas says the 

band still appears for the love of 

the music. “We’ve enjoyed every 

minute of it,” he says of the band’s 

journey. “We’re up there to make 

people forget about the drama and 

… negativity in their lives. Be 

easy. Enjoy the time with friends 

and music. That’s what our vibe is 

about.” 

He added, “It’s all about 

positivity. Let it come easy to you.” 

REVIEW 

‘The Band Be Easy’ 

This band has been together for 

about three and a half years but has 

yet to sign with a record label. 

“We’re not against any labels,” 

Aaron Thomas explains, but “we’ll 

consider our options if the right one 

comes through. … Until then, we’re 

just kinda pushing on our own.” 

The Band Be Easy released 

its first album in February. Some 

have criticized it for a lack of genre 

consistency. 

Although the group has been 

labeled a cover band, its self-titled 

album consists of 10 originals. For 

those who have only heard the band 

live, it takes a little adjusting to not 

see Thomas’ dancing or Lyons with 

his dreads stuffed under the massive 

hat he sports. But the talent is all 

there with the excellent variety fans 

experience at the band’s gigs. 

“Watch me get it. I just now 

feel like I’ve reached my prime. 

Took a little while, but it’s about 

damn time,” Thomas raps briefly on 

the first track, “Free.” 

The song could almost be seen as 

a defense of the debut album. 

“We wanna be free to be 

whoever we want,” the song states 

in anthem-like style. 

The album clings to a quest for 

freedom. “Best Ting” is Bob Marleyesque, 

letting Lyons shine with his 

familiar Rastafarian sound. And 

Thomas and Lyons channel their 

Reggae style on “Touchdown.” 

Group members work heavier 

guitar riffs into the Rock-like “Out of 

Me,” and they soar with the soft and 

romantic “Escape.” They really funk 

things up on “You.” 

The album incorporates Swing, 

old school Rock, Folk and even Doowop, 

featuring keyboard influences 

(on “Wanna Be Yours”). 

For listeners who enjoy variety and 

true vocal and musical skills, it’s well 

worth $9.90 on iTunes. For those 

looking for a single-genre album, 

you’ll have to wait for The Band Be 

Easy’s second release. 

Or just stop being so damn picky.

JOHN 

BUKOVACK 

FINDS RIGHT 

FIT THROUGH 

FITNESS 

John Bukovack 

Personal Coach 

Anytime Fitness 

in Downtown 

PHOTO: MATT PITTMAN FOR JACK 

BY MATT PITTMAN 

jack 

The 6-foot-7, 266-pound 

John Bukovack is hard to miss 

at Anytime Fitness where he 

works as a personal trainer. His 

imposing size is arresting, but it 

is the 38-year-old’s chiseled body 

that is a testament to years of hard 

work. “I have 11 percent body 

fat,” a proud Bukovack adds with 

a smile. 

The self-described “monstrous 

teddy bear” turned his life around 

six years ago when he began to 

focus on making himself a better 

person. 

While growing up John was 

diagnosed with a neurological 

disorder. He calls them “tics,” or 

uncontrollable muscular twitches 

that are caused by a chemical 

imbalance within the central 

nervous system, which makes 

them fire on different cylinders. 

While most people can easily 

shrug their shoulders, John’s 

shrugs come sporadically, and 

whenever his body wants. 

“Growing up it was rough. It 

was hard for me to find my place. 

When I was young I was insecure, 

and as I got older I did a lot just 

to fit in. I drank a lot, put on a lot 

of weight and became sluggish. 

I developed a habit with alcohol 

and it was slowly ruining my 

life.” 

He knew he needed to make a 

change. 

“I just realized that the way 

I was living wasn’t for me. So I 

changed everything. I looked in 

the mirror and remembered who 

I was and who I was raised to 

be. [I] got in the shower, shaved 

my head and started a total 

transformation. 

“I went outside and I ran and 

ran and ran,” Bukovack said. 

He then emptied his cupboard 

and walked 105 blocks to a gym 

to sign up. 

“I started studying nutrition; 

researched and got the required 

qualifications,” he said. 

Nowadays, Bukovack is an 

open book. He loves to tell about 

his triumph over adversity and 

how he no longer hides from who 

he really is. 

“There are certain medications 

that I can take to help slow down 

the tics. I choose to accept the fact 

that I have what I have and I don’t 

hide behind it. I believe it makes 

me a better person for it. I don’t 

care if people look at me silly, or 

snicker behind my back. It’s fine. 

I see it all the time. To me, I love 

it because they’re talking about 

me, and I love being the center of 

attention,” he says with a hearty 

laugh. 

After working at several 

gyms around the First Coast, 

Bukovack joined Anytime Fitness 

in Downtown Jacksonville about a 

year and a half ago. He finally felt 

at home. 

“I’m not saying that the other 

gyms are bad gyms; they’re good 

in their own right. But none of 

them compare to the way I feel 

here.” 

Instead, he says they just 

weren’t the right fit for him. 

“My fit is more of a family, 

more of a welcoming type of 

atmosphere. And that is what I 

have found at Anytime Fitness,” 

he says. 

He describes the atmosphere 

at Anytime Fitness as a unique 

culture. 

“We see our members here 

as people. Not a figure, not a 

number, not a dollar sign. We 

want to cater to our members as 

people. I don’t even like the term 

personal trainer, I like personal 

coaches. We help motivate you 

and inspire you. We’re by your 

side. We are available 24/7; 

hence the name. Our trainers are 

available anytime,” Bukovack 

says, donning his assistant 

manager persona for a moment.

MORE THAN A TICKET TO RIDE: 

THE RIVERSIDE 

AVONDALE 

NIGHT TROLLEY 

MATT PITTMAN 

jack 

All aboard! 

The Riverside Avondale Night Trolley takes you to some of the most 

popular restaurants and bars in the Cultural Core. This clean, convenient, 

reliable and low cost form of public transportation is a great alternative to 

cars cluttering our neighborhoods. 

Besides, picking up a DUI is not a very good way to kick off a 

weekend. 

Every Friday and Saturday from 6pm to 2am, passengers can jump on 

the trolley and for $4 the ride is unlimited. Catching a ride is easy with 

the MyJTA mobile app. Download the app, pay your fare, and show the 

operator your mobile ticket for your unlimited rides that evening. 

There’s also the peace of mind knowing that you won’t have to circle 

Five Points for 20 minutes to find a parking place. 

Even better, there are several businesses in the Cultural Core that offer 

special deals just for riding the trolley. 

Show your MyJTA mobile app trolley pass or STAR card at the 

following businesses to get your special discounts.

Seriously, Sherwood’s just feels like a place where you’d hear Hank 

Williams. 

There is no need for a Happy Hour when prices already are low at

Jacksonville’s restaurant culture is an ever-evolving affair. 

As older spots plateau and fade, new places come on strong, 

meaning there’s never a shortage of exciting places to explore. 

Here is one our favorite spots. 

« FUJI SUSHI 

Did someone say “All you can eat sushi?” 

Starting at $15.99, you get all the sushi rolls your stomach can 

handle, Kobayashi style at FUJI SUSHI. 

Of course there’s the obligatory Spicy Tempura Shrimp Roll and the 

Dynamite, but you’ll also find a Jaguar Roll and a Baymeadows Roll. 

Or try the Ultimate Lunch Express for $10.99. Along with unlimited 

hand-rolled sushi, why not order Soup and Salad, Rice and Noodles, or 

something off the sizzling Hibachi Grill? 

But don’t go too crazy, folks. You’ll be charged 50 cents for each 

item you don’t eat. Then again, 50 cents for a sushi roll isn’t a bad deal. 

Fuji Sushi

PUT LUNCH AT 

OLIO MARKET ON 

YOUR GO-TO LIST 

ANTHONY NEWKIRK JR. 

jack 

If you’re anywhere near 

Downtown around lunchtime, do 

your taste buds a favor and head 

on over to Olio Market. The staff 

strives to provide their customers 

with quick service and great food, 

so that your lunch break will be 

delightful and stress free. 

This popular lunch spot has 

been a long time favorite of mine. 

It sits pretty much at the top of 

my list as one of the best places to 

leave the cares of the workplace 

behind for an hour or so. Olio has 

a great staff led by Greg Desanto, 

the executive chef and owner, 

and Francesca Spiaggi, who is the 

general manager. They provide 

every customer who walks through 

their doors with great comfort food 

and rapid customer service. You’ll 

rarely be waiting very long for your 

food prepared in an open kitchen. 

The menu has an abundance 

of items from which to choose. 

Whether you want to indulge or 

just grab something light, Olio will 

easily have you covered. 

Especially popular is the 

Duck Grilled Cheese. This lovely 

sandwich has been featured on 

Adam Richman’s Best Sandwich 

In America for good reason. The 

mix of duck confit, green tomato, 

gruyere & white American cheese, 

all nestled between thick sourdough 

bread, makes for a sandwich full of 

amazing flavors. 

If you still have room left in 

your tummy, ask for Poutine or 

Bacon Cheese Fries. You really 

can’t go wrong with either choice, 

but those cheese fries are just so 

damn good. 

How about a little lighter fare? 

The Orange Chicken Bowl 

packs a lot of flavor with sesame 

Orange Glazed Chicken, vegetables 

and local Congaree & Penn Jupiter 

Rice. Choose either because you 

can’t go wrong. Also make sure 

to check out for their specials and 

quiche of the day. 

With a menu filled with other 

sandwiches, salads & entrees 

ranging from $5 to $15, you 

certainly won’t leave hungry. 

Oh, and if you can’t catch Olio 

on your lunch hour, the eatery 

is open every first Wednesday 

evening during Jacksonville’s 

Downtown Art Walk and from 5 to 

10 p.m. every Friday. 

Great food. Great service. Olio 

Market needs to be on your go-to 

list. 

What are you waiting for?

13 

IS A VERY LUCKY NUMBER 

— IF IT’S LOLA’S ‘RITAS 

Pablo-Cucumbian 

Blue Grass Walkin’ 

BY MATT PITTMAN 

jack 

“13 Outrageous Margaritas” await thirsty customers at Lola’s Burrito 

& Burger Joint. 

For just $6.47, there are concoctions loaded with everything from Blue 

Grass Kentucky Bourbon, Southern Comfort, tropical-punch vodka and, of 

course, the smoothest tequilas in Riverside. 

During Happy Hour these great margaritas are at half-price. And if 

you’re feeling frisky, you can “Get it Loaded” — that means an extra shot 

— for an additional $2. 

Let me break down some favorites for you. 

Pablo-Cucumbian 

Muddled cucumber, fresh lime juice, 

tequila, sweet simple syrup, sour and 

a dash of Tabasco. Fresh, spicy, salty, 

sour, sweet. 

Unpredictable like a Colombian drug 

lord. 

Blue Grass Walkin’ 

Bourbon, ya’ Blue Grass Kentucky 

Bourbon, all the Margarita stuff and the 

bourbon, coat that rim with sweet sugar. 

Slam this baby. 

Key Lime Cuddle 

Tequila, lime juice, splash of sour, 

coconut juice, Key Lime vodka with a 

sugar coated glass. It’s a real dessert. 

Lickin’ the glass. Priceless. 

So So Co 

Lemon lime juice, touch of sour, and 

double shot of that Southern Comfort 

goodness. 

Just far enough south to still speak English. 

5 Peso Por Una Bolsa 

Tequila, sour, lemon lime juice, a little 

Triple Sec, a splash of orange juice 

topped with orange vodka, sugar the rim. 

Like the roadside guys selling oranges. 

Chupa Me Chupa 

Tequila, pomegranate vodka, little sour, 

sweet guava juice, a salty rim and some 

lime. 

Time to pucker up big boy! 

Jalapeno-Ville 

Tequila, lemon lime juice, touch of 

sour, a splash of jalapeno vodka, and 

garnished with pickled jalapenos. Spicy, 

hot, burnin! 

Big girls double-fist these. 

Otto’s Wobo in Cobo 

Some tequila, a little rum, lemon and 

lime juice, a splash of guava. 

Salt the rim and hold onto your ass. 

Lola’s is sure to put a bit ol’ 

smile on your face. I guess that’s 

why they call it Happy Hour.
