JOHN BARTUS TO PLAY 42nd ANNIVERSARY CONCERT IN KEY COLONY BEACH

 
MARATHON, FLORIDA KEYS - Local Florida Keys singer-songwriter and four-time Marathon Mayor John Bartus will play a special concert at Sunset Park in Key Colony Beach to celebrate the 42nd Anniversary of his first performance in the Keys. The concert happens Sunday, January 25, 2026, at 4:00 p.m., and is sponsored by the Key Colony Beach Community Association.
 
John's first show in the islands happened in February of 1984 at the old Compass Lounge at the old Marathon Holiday Inn. Since then, John's “Perpetual Island Tour” has encompassed more than 10,000 performances in those four decades. He has entertained multiple thousands of residents and visitors, and has opened for acts like Kansas, Rodney Crowell, 38 Special, Rick Derringer, Edgar Winter, and more. 
 
John Bartus is celebrating the 42nd Anniversary of his arrival in the Florida Keys this month. His "Perpetual Island Tour" stops at various local Keys establishments each month, and he has released several albums, the most recent being the mostly acoustic After The Storm.
