You can walk down Duval Street, passing each bar and hear each one dancing to its own beat. Many of today's performers will be tomorrow's superstars and more than a few were discovered in a Key West bar, like Jimmy Buffet, who convinced the legendary Captain Tony to let him play in the Saloon.
In Key West, where the generation gap seems to narrow, you can find people of all ages grinding to the Caribbean beat, creating hot salsa to the island's Latin beats, standing some rap ground or raving to the electronic beat. Mix in more than its share of good old rock and roll, folky guitar players, and jazz ( a Key West tradition that broken old southern barriers), and you've got the Key West music scene. All of it enticing you as you walk down Duval Street from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean, or even the other way round.
Might not be the stuff that today's Billboard chart is listing, unless you go to Rick's Upstairs or Durty Harry's, but it's damned good music, And you CAN dance to it! All of it!
Everything we play on the site can be heard, has been heard and will be heard on our main drag, Duval Street, which runs from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean. Pick the style of music that you like, or check out something different.
It's Key West Music.....

When you talk about live music you have to remember Capt Tony's Saloon. This the oldest Saloon in Florida first opened in 1933 at the end of prohibition. Capt Tony was a man of many myths and legends. He was born in New Jersey the son of a bootlegger, He came to Key West to go from rags to riches. He was a fishing guide, Saloon owner, Gunrunner, and Mayor of Key West. He was portrayed in a movie. He always loved the women and gambling. Capt Tony would be found many evenings at the Saloon autographing pics and flirting with the women of all ages. |
