Island Artists
No, Bob Marley is not on
this page. Why? Because if
you want the really famous
island artists, just go to
our Required Listening page.
Here we wanted to expose you
to some island artists that
are a little outside of the
mainstream.
What
is Island?
We're not exactly sure.
I mean, if we go with a literal
definition, even Mr. Buffett
would be excluded. So we're
going to define "island"
as anything from the Caribbean
or any artist that makes us
feel like we want a boat drink
and a one-way ticket to the
Caribbean. Okay?
Make
A Suggestion!
And hey - if you think we've
missed an island or island-style
artist, just let
us know!

 | For years
people have been begging
for entertainment, not
just music, but entertainment!
It appears that "The
CalypsoNuts" are
here for just that reason.
Sponsored in part by
Corona Extra and Corona
Light, the Virginia
Beach based CalypsoNuts
are more than the average
variety act. Their "Entertainment
Without a Net"
approach guarantees
that each show is custom
tailored to suit the
audience at hand. From
island ballads to dance
music and everything
in between, the night
is filled with the music
and show that fits the
event.

In Latitudes is one
of America's premier
tribute shows to singer-songwriter
Jimmy Buffett, the master
of the tropical lifestyle.
We are an eight-piece
band with a singular
plan, to take you to
Margaritaville. Our
show is good clean fun;
we aim to offend no
one, and entertain everyone.
Every set is a party,
with beach balls flying,
dancing conga lines,
and leis galore. It's
one exciting show. Oh
yes, and the music.
You know more Jimmy
Buffett songs than you
think you do, and we'll
prove it. Let us bring
our rolling beach party
to you.

 | Hugo
left college and started
playing in clubs (like
Tween Waters Inn in
Captiva and Crow's Nest
in Hilton Head), getting
serious about the music
business when he realized
he could make a living
doing what he loved
best. A few years later
the road took him farthest
south. Searching for
his heritage, he arrived
for the first time in
the Keys -- and fell
in love with the area.
Hugo and The Full Sail
Band strummed and sang
at Rick's, Sloppy Joes,
Hogs Breath Saloon,
Turtle Kraals, The Bull,
The Top, Casa Marina.

says: You may have seen
John at MOTM....he's
there every year. Once
you hear this album,
he'll be on your "must
see" list. Sounding
at times like John Mellencamp
and at others, an early
Jimmy Buffett, John
has done himself proud
here with ten strong
originals, several co-written
by none other than Sir
Alex Leist. From ballad
to honky-tonk, John's
strong vocals &
fine acoustic guitar
work have made this
CD an excellent example
of roots music at its
best.

Michael McCloud is on the
KLC's short-list of
"must see"
artists every time we
get to Key West. A grizzled
veteran of the Key West
music scene, McCloud
is a talented songwriter.
If you're looking for
a warm, fuzzy entertainer,
well, McCloud's curmudgeonly
stage demeanor may not
be your thing. But then
he probably doesn't
really care. Make sure
you check him out next
time you're on the island.

 | Jim Morris
is an articulate singer/songwriter
with a devotion to storytelling.
Whether it is a thoughtful
ballad about doomed
love or an anthem to
a night of drunken revelry,
the listener can always
count on well-crafted
songs with carefully
drawn characters, clever
lyrics, and satirical
charm. Although Jim’s
musical style is admittedly
reminiscent of Jimmy
Buffett and Jerry Jeff
Walker, he has a knack
for defying categorization.
He mixes a whimsical
island sound with a
splash of Texas to produce
a sound that is uniquely
Gulf and Western.

Words alone can't describe
Pete and Wayne. We first
met them when we staggered
into Sloppy Joe's for
just one drink. Four
hours later, we were
still there. They put
on the funniest show
you will ever see. You'll
laugh. You'll drink.
You'll probably pee
your pants. Just tell
them the Key Lime Cafe
sent you.

 | St. Somewhere,
a refreshing and unique
musical voice ahead
of it's time, has successfully
transcended musical
boundaries to create
what they refer to as
Caribbean Americana.
This self appointed
genre likens to a melting
pot where the very best
of Caribbean and American
influences are seamlessly
blended together; creating
a sound that injects
you with infectious
and natural syncopation.

 | James
“Sunny Jim”
White spent more than
a decade living and
working in the Cayman
Islands, and this experience
gave him plenty of material
for original songs.
With Sunny Jim’s
laid-back attitude and
island style, his music
is often described as
uniquely “American
Caribbean.” From
1989 to 2000, James
was the artist-in-residence
at the Hyatt Regency
Grand Cayman, one of
the finest resorts in
the Caribbean. During
those years he developed
the versatility to entertain
corporate groups of
any size and orientation.
At home now on Florida’s
Sunshine Coast, Sunny
Jim is performing for
audiences all across
the U.S.
