New Band Name, Members; Seafood Festival Headliners - February 22, 2008

Well, the band finally has a name: John Bartus & Storm Watch! Just in time for both the Marathon Seafood Festival (we're headlining!) and welcoming two new band members: the father-son team of Marc Davis (keyboards & vocals) and Christian Davis (bass).

The Marathon Seafood Festival happens on the weekend of March 15-16, and we'll be performing both days. John Bartus & Storm Watch is the headliner on Saturday night, and the band will perform as part of the Conch Republic All-Star Jam on Sunday afternoon.

St. Pat's Day at Key Colony Inn - February 22, 2008

I've lost count of how many St. Patrick's Day celebrations I've hosted at the Key Colony Inn, but Monday, March 17 is just around the corner. Look for the all-day lineup to start at noon and run until the leprechauns pass out from overindulgence or sheer exhaustion. Key Colony Inn, 700 West Ocean Drive, Key Colony Beach, FL.

Bartus Solo Concert at Sunset Park - February 22, 2008

I'll be performing a live solo concert at Key Colony Beach's Sunset Park Sunday, March 2, 2008. I'm glad to be asked back again this year, and I'm looking forward to performing originals both new and old, and some of everyone's long-time favorites as well. The concert starts at 4:00 p.m., and I hope to see a lot of friendly faces there!
