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

It was a SOLD OUT blues show at the Key West Theater!!!! May 25th, 2019. A great way to mark the first of MANY Key West Blues festivals!!! Thank God!!

I’m so happy to share the stage with some of my musical peers Tim Marshall Curtis “Commander Hawk”, Andy Westcott, Rick Fusco, Bobby DeVito, Daryl Brooke, Henry Lysy Jr., Randy Morrow, Francois Gehin, Michelle Dravis, Karri Daley, AND a few of my musical heros 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 2 notches on the belt! Another strike off the bucket list.

I want to thank the promoter Joel Barrios for having faith in this blues festival idea.
