I like Florida and I love the keys, but generally, I hate the one man band guitareoke thing that goes on here.
Tonight, I saw and heard a guy that I liked. He was a great player, his song selection was all over the place (in a good way) not your typical island BS. He was playing an electric guitar (strat-looked like a Partscaster, and a nice one) and he was playing through a Fender Blues Deluxe and he sounded good.
His name was Dana Colins, at least that's what he said at one point. He played many of the island standards, but with a guitar players twist on them, did many classics, not just classic rock, but some classic r and b and some blues. Yeah, he had some backing tracks, but it was cool and a lot more rock and roll than most of these guys. He was a decent singer (very good when singing his natural range) and he played an eagles song that was a little higher than his natural range, and he just went for it. He didn't butcher it, but he struggled a little. I thought it was cool that he had a request that he had to know was going to be tough for him and he roughed I out and made the people happy.
Don't know where the guy is from, but he was playing in Islamorada.
This was one of only 3 of these sort of shows I really ever liked and I figured somebody here may know the guy and give him am atta boy for me. I through a fiver in his jar, which he probably would like better than an atta boy from a hack like me anyway.
