Playing Key West Blues Fest Sold Out Was One of the Best Musical Experiences I've Had
The 1st Key West Blues Festival 2019 — Karri Daley & Wayne Sorbelli at a sold-out Key West Theater. Sharing the stage with blues legend Bill Blue and piano master Ericson Holt was a bucket-list moment.
1st Key West Blues Festival 2019 — Karri Daley & Wayne Sorbelli — SOLD OUT blues show at the Key West Theater, May 25th, 2019.
I'm so happy to share the stage with some of my musical peers Tim Marshall Curtis, Andy Westcott, Rick Fusco, Bobby DeVito, Daryl Brooke, Francois Gehin, Henry Lysy Jr., Randy Morrow, Michelle Dravis, Karri Daley — and even a few of my musical heroes like Ericson Holt, one of the greatest living piano-playing songwriters IN THE WORLD, and blues legend slide guitar slinger and songwriter Bill Blue!
For sure one of the musical highlights in my life so far is to have shared the stage with Ericson Holt and Bill Blue. Another two notches on the belt. Another strike off the bucket list.
I want to thank the promoter Joel for having faith in this blues festival idea.
Here is what some of my friends are saying about the show:
Rick Fusco (guitarist/singer, Andy Westcott Band): "Key West's Local Musicians Blues Festival — Thank You Huellas de Lobos! What an awesome and successful event! He had an idea and he was very genuine and enthusiastic... I was honored to be a part of this! Looking forward to next year's show! Ericson Holt — we can't thank you enough! Your musical gifts alone are to be experienced by the masses!"
Ben Solove (radio personality and local blues guru): "Wow!!! What a show at the majestic Key West Theater tonight. The First Annual Key West Blues Festival went off beautifully and to a packed house, sold out crowd. Kudos to promoter Huellas de Lobos for pulling off a great night! So many phenomenal musicians were a part of this incredible show."
Henry Lysy Jr. (bassist, Andy Westcott Band): "Soundcheck, check. From what I saw today the Blues festival is not only going to be fun but will also be displaying some of the best musicians around. I'm honored to share the stage with this talented lineup."
Ralph De Palma (author/photographer, Soul of Key West): "The 1st Annual Key West Blues Festival was a spectacular and SOLD OUT event and is destined to be a huge new component of the Key West music scene. This one is real — everyone in the audience could feel the same vibe. I loved every minute."
