    DOUBLE SHOT: Green Parrot & Willy T's I XPERiMENTO + Nick Brownell

    This week we we've got a double shot for you🍻 We kicked things off at one of the most legendary rooms in Key West… 👉 The Green Parrot with XPERiMENTO bringing that high-energy, genre-bending sound that only works in a place like that. Then we flipped the script completely… 👉 over to Willy T’s with Nick Brownell, where the crowd’s loud, the drinks are cold, and anything can happen. Two completely different vibes. Same island. Same heartbeat. If you think you’ve got Key West music figured out… this one might surprise you. Real music. Real stories. Real Key West. 🎧 New episodes every Thursday 📍 Recorded in the Florida Keys

    10 Things

    It's been a year... As we celebrate our 1 year anniversary of moving to the FL Keys we decided to put together a quick list of some things that we have learned about living in the Keys.  While this list is NOT comprehensive it should give you a glimpse into what we noticed.   What else should we have on the list?  What are some things we missed?  Let us know in the comments.   As always we would love it if you would like, comment, share, rate...yada yada yada   -Ben & Kel
