Conchs and Cowboys at Red Barn
“Conchs, Cowboys and Tales of Old Key West!” returns to Red Barn Theatre, 319 Duval St., Rear, for but three shows, April 13, 14 and 21. The Made In Key West Band rocks a musical night and plugs in legends of the southernmost island into the bargain.
Contact the Red Barn box office for tickets and more information at www. redbarntheatre.com or 305-296-9911.
John Wells directs the hometown Made in Key West Band through a foot-tapping collection of country, cowboy, folk rock and blues music including original compositions about the unbelievable characters in Key West history. The intimate nature of the Red Barn Theatre coupled with the easy going humor and skilled musicianship of the band makes a cozy and entertaining night.
Gary McDonald, George Halloran, Tom Murtha and music legend Paul Cotton, of the seminal 1970s band Poco join Wells onstage. Cotton performs his magical tribute to New Orleans “The Heart of the Night” as well as Poco’s cover of J.J. Cale’s “Cajun Moon.”
Wells and Murtha, comprising The John Wells Delegation, opened for Poco at the Baltimore Civic Center in 1975. The ensuing friendship and performance experience ultimately led to the Red Barn Stage for the ever popular “Conchs, Cowboys and Tales of Old Key West.”
Special guests for the show will be Camille Russo Toler, doing a Stephen Foster duet with Wells, and Island Alex Ocinczyc, performing his “Southernmost Song” from his musical about Key West.
