Thank you everyone. It’s time to help some Key West children & their families that need some relief/resources. I love ALL of you for any & all help spreading the word of the cause of & this details of this benefit show to support the cause. 

Having lost Nicky Wayne Sorbelli, our 10yr old son, after fighting blood cancer so bravely for a year, that seemed like 10, this is a top shelf priority for me & my family. I like to kick cancer in the teeth every chance I get.

It’s all so painful for Jamie & I & my dear daughter Leela – but at the end of the day – we’ve either helped, or we didn’t – but no matter the pain, the mental low LOW points, the tears, envy, jealousy, survivor guilt, guilt of the NEVER ending urge to block my bad memories in ways that are very destructive & debilitating to my mind body & soul & destructive to my family unit – I AM In this for life – I’ll help fight cancer & those fighting as long as I can in life & til death and perhaps even beyond if I can figure out how.

Blues Festival 2019 Wayne Sorbelli solo w/slide & Gibson SG on Freddie King’s Classic song “Hideaway” at Key West Theater.

I had so much fun once again at the 2nd Key West Blues Festival 2019!

The venue is an awesome place to watch a show and also a great place to perform.

With friend Greg Rue for Art Of Sound behind the mixers, soundboards, and other controls plus the acoustics of the room – I knew it was going to be a great sounding night!!

With some of my favorite local musicians being on the bill, it was sure to be a special night for me personally. Caffine Carl and the Buzz opened up the show

My music store Island Guitar is giving online multi-age any level guitar, ukulele, piano, violin, & beginning bass & saxophone lessons using Skype & FaceTime

Hi Wayne here. So far so good in the Florida keys as far as no reported cases of the coronavirus. Beautiful wife Jamie and I decided to lock the door of our store to any walk-in business, but are “open for business” as we are taking orders over the phone while customers wait in their car or outside on their bikes. Having us deliver the music gear out to your front door is also a possibility. We take credit and debit card over the phone.

Thanks for staying safe.

Jimmy Buffett’s surprise concert performance here @ Margaritaville, Key West last night was a great way to start a New Year of great live shows & concerts here in Paradise USA Key West Florida!

It looked like Santa Clause, or even someone bigger (I mean more famous lol) was in town when the word spread on the street yesterday that Jimmy Buffett was in town.

Ask anyone here it’s true that the “Coconut Telegraph” as Key Wester’s call it, or the island’s way of spreading news mouth-to-mouth, is faster than a speeding bullet and evidently faster than even WiFi or the internet!! – as crazed fans and folks made their way to a packed house on Duval Street before anyone even saw a single post on Facebook, Instagram or other social media!

Soon after news of his coming hit the “Coconut Telegraph” the street itself in front of Margaritaville would just about be blocked all together by fans – with police directing traffic, fans, curious tourists, pedestrians, bicyclists, AND scooters. (Thank You Key West Police for helping keep everyone safe so that we can continue to have tons of fun).
