On Permanent Vacation® Live at Tim's at Lake Anna
Program Details & Spotlights
Cap off your weekend with pure vacation rock from On Permanent Vacation at Tim’s at Lake Anna. Frontman Lance Wolak plays high-energy hits from Green Day, Duran Duran, Jimmy Buffett, and Zac Brown. Tim's is a premier waterfront dining spot famous for fresh steamed crabs, oysters, and cold drinks served on a scenic outdoor pier, providing the ultimate Lake Anna dining and musical experience.
There is no better way to wrap up a classic Lake Anna weekend than with your toes practically hanging over the water, a cold drink in hand, and the infectious energy of live music echoing across the cove. As the afternoon sun begins its slow dip toward the tree line, Tim’s at Lake Anna Restaurant & Crabhouse becomes the ultimate Sunday sanctuary. The boardwalk buzzes with energy, boats gently bob in their slips, and the unmistakable aroma of seasoned crab spice fills the warm air. It is the quintessential lake-life scene, and it is the perfect backdrop for an evening with On Permanent Vacation.
Frontman Lance Wolak knows exactly how to capture that "out-of-office" state of mind. With a setlist that effortlessly bridges the gap between 90s pop-punk and classic beachside escapism, On Permanent Vacation delivers a high-octane performance that gets everyone moving. Expect to hear high-energy anthems from Green Day and Duran Duran seamlessly blended with the breezy, sing-along classics of Jimmy Buffett and Zac Brown. It is a musical journey that feels less like a formal concert and more like the ultimate backyard party with a few hundred of your closest lake neighbors.
Of course, the music is only half of the draw. Tim’s at Lake Anna is legendary among locals and visitors alike for its authentic, raw-bar-meets-crabhouse dining experience. Situated right on the shoreline of the public side, Tim’s offers expansive outdoor pier seating that makes you feel like you are dining right on top of the water. Whether you are cracking into a fresh pile of steamed blue crabs, slurping back raw oysters on the half shell, or sharing a plate of golden fried hushpuppies, the food here tastes just a little bit better when accompanied by live acoustic rock and a gentle lake breeze.
For Lake Anna locals, Sunday evenings are a sacred time to decompress and stretch out the weekend for just a few more hours. For weekend warriors, it is the grand finale before heading back to reality. No matter which camp you fall into, this live performance offers a chance to fully immerse yourself in the relaxed, worry-free atmosphere that defines our community. Grab your friends, family, and your favorite lake crew, and come celebrate the permanent vacation state of mind.
