Kenny Rose is a singer/songwriter from a little town in Michigan called Union Lake. He worked at his family car business as he and his bride raised their 4 children. Though the business was good to them, he always had the dream of some day playing music for a living. That dream came true in 2004 when they sold the business and Kenny and Tammy moved to Florida’s gulf coast, settling in another little town called Englewood. He has been “living the dream” ever since and his songwriting reflects that lifestyle.

His first C.D. “Take A Chance” was released in 2004. The music on this all original C.D. was more in the pop contemporary feel. As he began living in Florida his songs took on a much more Trop Rock feel, and his second C.D. “Sunshine State of Mind” released in April 2010 certainly reflects that. All but one of the tracks are original compositions, and his songs “Driving Down Here is Driving me to Drinking” and “The Grandparent’s Song” have become staples in the area. He also has had 3 of his songs in a motion picture that was available on Amazon prime for a few years.

Kenny’s shows can be very interactive if the crowd is right for it, handing out percussion instruments and getting everyone to sing along is his favorite thing to do. He has an over 300 song repertoire and he hands out books so the crowd can see what he plays and ask for requests. He doesn’t use any backing tracks or pre recorded music, so he can be spontaneous and go wherever the crowd wants him to go! His mic and guitar are wireless so he is free to roam around and get  everyone involved. He is enjoying his musical life and plays 5 to 7 shows a week in the Englewood and Venice area, playing mostly covers of 60’s and 70’s songs, however with 300 songs you can be sure he has a few from most era’s that you’ll know. Known as one of the “hardest working musicians in town” Kenny just laughs and says “I play music, keyword is PLAY.”

Cabana Dogs are a high-energy beach rock band based in Sarasota, Florida. Their unique coastal mix calls on Rock, Country, MoTown, and Soulful music, creating a carefree atmosphere wherever they go.

A people's band. Cabana Dogs members are equipped with the band's founder Jimi C, adding vocals and Guitar. Next we have Shannon Lewis adding powerful vocals and harmonies. Also adding vocals is monster our drummer Sean McCord. Also we have Willy D who holds down the fort on Bass. Last but not least, we have our youngest member and tech Cajun who adds his talent to round out the mix. Together their strong presence and audience interactions radiate infectious moods and grooves that will get anyone smiling, singing along and on their feet.

For the past 17 years I’ve been performing acoustic solo shows, with the last 13 years based in Southwest Florida. I’ve played just about every venue on Fort Myers Beach, plus a few in Venice, Sarasota, Sanibel, Captiva, and beyond, along with many private events.

My live sets feature acoustic versions of singer-songwriter tunes, classic rock, blues, country, and my own originals.

I’ve been writing songs for years and have a fourth all-original album coming in 2026, along with an audiobook release the same year. My material has received radio airplay, primarily on indie stations.

After many years as a member of successful working and touring bands - and sharing stages large and small with some notable talent - I made the move to solo performing.

Originally from just south of Detroit, my musical roots run deep and well-aged. I’m a cradle-to-the-grave musician and plan to keep writing and performing till it's no longer.

I love the life I live, and I live the life I love!

Recently, I have been working with a brilliant colleague on a Pink Floyd tribute/collaboration project that we’re actively promoting now. It’s shaping up to be a huge hit at a realistic ticket price.

Two full time musicians who have performed with multiple world renowned musicians and bands and currently truly enjoying what we do!

Boston and Key West based Rob Benton has spent the last 2 decades as both a solo artist, a member of the duo "Key West Kings" and lead guitarist performing alongside artists as diverse as Nelly, Lee Brice, Cooper Allan, Nate Smith, Skidrow, Everlast, LFO, New Kids On The Block, J. Geils Band and many more!

A dynamic performer, Rob Benton‘s style is extremely unique. By combining percussion, looping, beat boxing, electrified rock and hip hop elements to his solo acoustic playing, Rob fills out his sound like a four-piece band. Whether playing tracks from his own albums, Dawn Meets Day, Home, Finding Me & Key West King’s "Caroline Street" or covering one of the multitude of artists who have influenced him over the years, Rob makes every song his own.

Not to be confused with the tropical sounds commonly found or stereotyped on the little island south of Florida, Rob’s show is a heavy hitting, showboating, full contact fight with his guitar.

Rob Benton has made a name for himself around the US and islands by combining country, rock and hip hop coupled with a driving rock beat, live looping and heaping mounds of “guitar hero” theatrics that make this show a jaw dropping visual and audible, live show experience.

Gary Ray Harvey, born and raised in Amarillo, Texas has played guitar with a variety of artists including Jim Morris and the Big Bamboo Band, The Platters, The Coasters, Jimmy Collins and he has performed at Farm Aid with Willie Nelson. Gary, as lead guitar player, could be heard and seen in the music video for the hit single “I Love Texas” in 1991. Gary has written and performed many original songs including “911,” his heartfelt reaction to the catastrophe on September 11, 2001, which received global acclaim. Through radio play and broadcast interviews, Gary has developed a loyal and dedicated fan base, which has only grown since joining forces with Kerri. Gary has performed in forty two states and over twenty-five countries during the past twenty-five years.

Kerri Lynn, a Florida transplant from New Jersey, started her singing career in her church’s choir and has since catapulted into the top 40 scene. While singing backup for Rod Stewart, performing the National Anthem for thousands in packed arenas, she still found the time to perform with various local & regional variety/show bands. Her 21 year career with Gary has allowed her to further develop herself as a singer. With diverse vocal ability, she can be heard singing anything from Patsy Cline to Lady Gaga as well as the multitude of original songs that she and Gary have written.

Gary and Kerri started performing together in 2004 mainly in Southwest Florida, but their talent and determination have taken them on a whirlwind of diverse and exciting performance adventures throughout the United States. Gary & Kerri are the perfect duo for fairs/festivals, private events, corporate functions or virtually any other event.

In November, 2007 the two answered a request to enter "Can You Duet," a contest hosted by CMT in association with "American Idol" producers. In December, 2007 they produced a dvd and submitted it to the California office, in return, Gary and Kerri were invited to come perform live in Nashville, TN.

As of September, 2008, Gary & Kerri have recorded "911 / National Anthem," "Live At The Southwick Inn" and "Nice to Meet You," and now, their most recent single "Ain't No Doubt".

Today they have well over 5000 performances together as a dynamic duo.

Hey there, I’m Danny Beach! Picture this: You’re chilling at your favorite spot, and who’s strumming that guitar, making you tap your feet? That’s right, it’s me! I’ve been playing my heart out at restaurants, Tiki bars, and all sorts of shindigs in Southwest Florida for over 20 years.

Home is where the heart is, and mine’s anchored right in Charlotte Harbor, Florida. I’ve rocked venues all the way from St. Pete to Naples, and let me tell you, it’s been one heck of a ride. I’m not just any musician; I’ve got a guitar that practically plays itself, a voice that’ll serenade you, and a harmonica that’s as sweet as Florida oranges. Need some chill vibes or a rockin’ night? I’m your guy! I’ve got all the tunes we all love – from James Taylor to ZZ Top – and I’m all about those special requests.

Here’s a fun fact: I used to fight fires in Washington D.C.! Now, I’ve swapped my firefighter boots for a captain’s hat, mastering the seas around the Gulf of Mexico when I’m not jamming out.

Want to catch me live? Swing by places like the Sandbar in Englewood, or maybe find me at Twisted Fork in Port Charlotte. I’m all over the place, including Punta Gorda’s finest spots like Harpoon Harry’s. So, come on down, bring your friends, and let’s have a blast with some great music. Can’t wait to see ya!

We are proud to introduce, from left to right, our highly talented bass player and vocalist, Bob Coleman. On guitar & vocals our outrageously talented Marty Englert. Next, on drums & vocals, the equally talented, Fred Jacobs.

Bob Coleman (Bass/Vocalist)

Bob started his musical career playing drums in his elementary school band. In Bob's teens he was lead singer and guitar player with a garage band in his hometown, Flushing Michigan.

A few years later Bob worked at Topaz Recording Studio. During this time, he met Mel Schacher, the bass player for Grand Funk. Bob was singing in the studio when Mel walked in and he said "hey man, you sound just like Eddie Money". The two hit it off immediately!

Bob's wife Kathy went to school with Tom Petty's wife Dana, they are all still friends to this day.

Previously, Bob was the bass player and vocalist in a local Englewood Florida band called Smack Dab.

Marty Englert (Guitar/Vocalist)

Marty is a formally trained guitarist from the Washington DC area who is a formally trained musician and holds a music degree from Berkley University, and he has been a Florida resident since 2018.

Marty has worked with a variety of bands, he has done regional touring, recordings, events, festivals and clubs. He has played large and small audiences throughout the United States. Marty is adaptive to many varieties of music including jazz, blues, soul, funk, rock, R&B and everything in between.

Marty was a guitar instructor for many years and he has played with local Englewood area bands called the David Henry Project and the Black Snake Bayou Band.

Fred Jacobs (Drums/Vocals)

Fred was 10 years old when his mother, who was a New York Broadway singer started him with piano lessons with one of her friends. After a few months of those piano lessons, Fred heard an electric guitar playing some very unusual music above the lesson room. He asked his piano teacher if he could go and hear it. As it turned out, it was her son playing guitar in his room practicing Jimmy Hendrix “Fire”. He also had some drums in his practice room and Fred immediately knew his plight in life. Before he left that day, he knew Hendrix “Fire”.

Fred played in various bands in his home town State College in PA, throughout his high school years. He always admired a life of a rock star but knew his chances of earning a pension pursuing his passion would be risky. So he sold his drums but kept his guitar and trained to get his Federal Aircraft Mechanics license only to once again be able to buy a drum set many years later.

Fred played in many bands while working for various aircraft companies, but always seemed to land up on rotating shifts killing his ability to perform with a stable band. It was only till now in retirement that he has been able to call his job his passion.

Now we all have united and we have become the Rising Tide Band!
