Can’t wait to see y’all this year!

Congratulations!

Throwback pic to 2001! Twenty five years ago this month I got my first gig in Key West at Rum Runner’s bar on Duval Street. A huge, heartfelt thank you to everyone who has come out over the years and supported me in living this dream!

On April 23, 1982, Key West declared itself the Conch Republic - and it's been celebrating that independent spirit ever since!

The Conch Republic Independence Celebration continues in true Keys fashion - quirky, festive, and full of island spirit!

The party is still on with events happening across Key West. Check out the full schedule at conchrepublic.com and join the fun!

Updated 2.23.26! More on the way

Concerts and Sat after party still avail for sponsors!

A KEY WEST TREASURE --- In 1986, Buffett leased an old ice house near the shrimp docks from Singleton Enterprises, owner of one of the largest sh*****ng fleets in Key West. It became the Shrimpboat Sound Studio and Jimmy Buffett's favorite "Roadie", JL Jameson, quickly transitioned from the Margaritaville operation to managing the studio.
