| HELLO
PARROTHEADS! When Jimmy Buffett isn't available, the next best thing can only
be a live performance by KEY WEST TRIO! KWT, a power trio that on occasion adds
a guest guitarist 4th member, is best described as "three guys that sound like
a 12-piece band" by Brad Davis, noted Hartford, Conn. radio and TV show personality.
With their trademark "Tropical Island Flavored Pop Music," KWT performs the music
of Jimmy Buffett including Margaritaville, Cheeseburger in Paradise and Coconut
Telegraph, and hits by The Beach Boys including California Girls, Kokomo and Sail
On Sailor, as well as selected danceable Oldies. Their own hits include I'm On
Island Time, Back on Block Island, BOHICA and Blue Sky.

Tequila and Nantucket Nectars.

Violante (lead vocals, keyboard), Ed Gerosa (vocals, guitar) and Joe Zukowski
(vocals, percussion) have been in the biz since the bad ol' days, playing rock
and roll music and including Caribbean stuff and some reggae. KWT includes founding
members of The Shags and The Roadrunners, the former of whom were honored with
a plaque commemorating their contributions to rock and roll by St. Bernadette
Church Music Hall of Fame (for you post-Baby Boomers, that's where The Five Satins
recorded the No. 1 favorite Oldie "In The Still of the Nite"). Sitting in many
times on guitar and vocals as the 4th "trio" member is Joe "Cigars" Salvati, formerly
of Nothing But Trouble. Wherever
they entertain, KWT creates an authentic island-style atmosphere - a "Beach Party
All Year Long" reminiscent of a Jimmy Buffett concert or a Beach Boys performance.
Whether it's a corporate event, a boat rendezvous, a college spring break, a festival,
a fair or a nightclub, KEY WEST TRIO will have the audience up on their feet dancing
in a Conga line or partying right up to the end of the show, with a demand from
the crowd for more.

is also famous for covering their favorite artists including Roy Orbison, Elvis,
Harry Belafonte, Bob Marley, The Beatles, Del Shannon, Freddie Cannon, Paul Anka,
The Four Seasons, Billy Joel, Neil Diamond, James Taylor and The Righteous Brothers.
However, they pay a great tribute to Jimmy Buffett by genuinely recreating his
sound and atmosphere, complete with the sounds of his fabulous Coral Reefer Band,
horns, steel drums and vibes. They accomplish this by painstakingly creating their
original digital sequences that are seamlessly interfaced within their performance,
using all sorts of exotic gear, instruments and gadgets to yield a realistic Caribbean-American
sound that brings joy to the heart.  | | Billy
Ray Cyrus & Eddie |
Their
prized Aloha shirts (Tom has over 250 of them!) are their trademarks. Their performance
in concert will entertain young and old, no matter what their musical preferences.
Once you've seen KWT in person, you'll agree (as do their loyal fans!!) that they're
the next best thing to a live concert with Jimmy Buffett or the Beach Boys. No
other cover band even comes close! Keep up the "Beach Party All Year Long!" Bring
your noisemakers, maracas and tambourines and join the KEY WEST TRIO Conga Line
at their next gig! Live!
