July 27 @ 2:42 am
Key West – With special guests and Coral Reefers Nadirah Shakoor, Doyle Grisham, and Roger Bartlett and steel pan artist John Patti
The Key West Band was in continuous operation from May 1993 until the end of 2018 as one of America’s first“ Trop-Rock” bands. They performed in twenty states and on three cruise ships. On Labor Day weekend in2023 the Trop-Rock community was shocked by the death of Jimmy Buffett , the father of Trop-Rock. Within twenty-four hours, promoters were contacting the band begging, even demanding that they reform. They not only restarted the band, but came back bigger, stronger and better than ever before. Using their longstanding relationship with members of Jimmy’s Coral Reefer Band they brought back some of the Reefers that had previously performed with Key West as well as top names in the Trop Rock community who had also performed with Key West. With only a five-week notice, the best ever Key West Band was assembled. Plan on hearing all of the Jimmy Buffett favorites along with a few “deep cuts” that will surprise and thrill the hardcore Parrot heads. Jimmy’s club manager himself once said at a Key West performance in the town of Key West, “Nobody does Buffett as well as you guys”. Catch a show and you’ll see what he meant. Jimmy himself would be proud of the band.
