Description
If you're coming in early for the festival, don't miss this opportunity to experience two of Trop Rock's most respected singer-songwriters in one of Key West's premier listening rooms.
Aaron Scherz and John Frinzi have become favorites on Radio Margaritaville, and both have shared the stage and studio with many of the musicians who helped define Jimmy Buffett's musical legacy.
Expect an evening of masterful storytelling, unforgettable harmonies, beach-inspired originals, and the kind of songs that transport you straight to a hammock beneath the palms. From heartfelt ballads to breezy island anthems, this intimate acoustic performance offers the rare chance to hear the songs exactly as they were written—up close, personal, and shared among fellow fans who appreciate great songwriting.
Whether you're a longtime Parrothead or simply love authentic Americana with a tropical soul, this promises to be a memorable way to begin your Labor Day weekend in Key West.
If your travel plans don't have you arriving until Thursday, the duo will also perform a second show at the Key West Theater that evening.
🎟️ Tickets are limited, so reserve yours early.
This performance is an independently produced event and is included on the Just a Few Friends Key West schedule for the convenience of festival guests.
🎤 Aaron Scherz
It all started with a little rum... and a mom who raised him on Jimmy Buffett, John Denver, James Taylor, and other legendary songwriters.
Aaron Scherz has built a remarkable career that has taken him from tropical islands and Meeting of the Minds to Nashville's songwriting elite. His songs celebrate the laid-back island lifestyle while showcasing the craftsmanship of a multi-platinum songwriter.
His music can regularly be heard on Radio Margaritaville and on stages throughout the Trop Rock community, transporting listeners to that "one particular harbor" and an island state of mind.
Aaron's songwriting credits include recordings by Keith Urban, Reba McEntire, Jennifer Nettles, Tracy Lawrence, Maddie & Tae, Jana Kramer, Jimmie Allen, Tyler Braden, Jay Allen, and many more.
🎤 John Frinzi
John Frinzi blends folk, pop, country, and coastal influences into a warm, unmistakable sound that has earned him a devoted following throughout the Trop Rock world.
Discovered early by legendary Coral Reefer steel guitarist Doyle Grisham, John went on to release acclaimed albums including Into The Dawn and Shoreline, featuring collaborations with Tom Corcoran, co-writer of Jimmy Buffett classics "Fins" and "Cuban Crime of Passion."
Most recently, John teamed with Aaron Scherz to release the EP Blue Sky View and several singles, including "Florida Man." Their music continues to receive regular airplay on SiriusXM's Radio Margaritaville.
John has toured throughout the United States, the Caribbean, and Europe, sharing stages with Mac McAnally, Ricky Skaggs, Jesse Winchester, Todd Snider, Maria Muldaur, and members of Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band.
