Key West Music And Happenings

Music and events that happen in Key West as observed by Chris Rehm. "What Happens in Key West Stays in Key West" Wrong! Everyone wants to know what's happening in Key West!

Search This Blog Wednesday, October 20, 2021 Dani and Chris' After Party! "MOTM IS OVER AND I SURVIVED!"

One of the funny things about being a musician, is that times can be few and far between where you actually get to know other musicians. Sure, musicians may play together, and while that's a blast, when it's over, they usually scatter like ants. Most likely off to another gig, or perhaps a commitment elsewhere.

So, consequently, between musicians it's usually at the beginning of the gig, it's "Hey! How are you doing? Great to see you!". Then, at the end of the gig it's "Oh! That was a blast! Lets do it again soon". That's often pretty much it.

Another situation is one musician might like another's music that they've heard, but when one is playing here, the other is playing there. How many times has a bar patron said to me "Oh! You know Bobbaly Gook! He plays all around town" Yet, either I've never seen Bobbaly Gook, or even more so, never heard of him because our schedules conflict.

As a result, often is the case that musicians never get to knowone another. That's what the After Party is about! It allows everyone, musicians and supporters to hang out together!

Hell, about six years ago I played an open mic up in Islamorada at the Safari Lounge, where a bass player was host. Last year he was arrested for pulling a shotgun on a woman. Who expected that to happen? That is the radical exception to the rule, however. However, at the gig, I never got to know him.

We have MOTM coming to town shortly. The fact is, virtually everyone attending are fabulous people, both performers and attendees!

One of the most curious things that I see every year, with both musicians and attendees, is everyone rushing around, literally in a panic because they have to be a mile away in two minutes because they have to see, you guessed it, Bobbly Gook, playing at The Tequila Tree. Or perhaps play another gig.

Key West, "Laid Back"? Seriously? By the time they get home, they're completely winded and exhausted. Whereas the people who come the other fifty one weeks of the year are just.... chilling out and relaxing. Isn't that what Key West is supposed to be?

What is laid back is "Dani and Chris' 7th Annual After Party"! MOTM is over and we survived! Here, it's just hang out, shoot the breeze with fascinating people, chill, and laugh, have a few libations, eat fabulous food, just as we've done in previous years! Everyone is welcome! Musicians and supporters alike. That includes YOU!
