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.

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.”

As the vocal front-man for several country bands in the 80's and 90's, and later for the highly successful Trop-Rock bands PHINS (winners of the 2008 Trop-Rock Horizon Award) and the 12 Volt Band, Paul decided in 2010 that it was time to venture out on his own, where he would have the opportunity to tell his stories his way, in his own time.

After a career move put him in Florida in 2011, he has made the move to playing
his music full time, performing solo shows and house concerts at venues all around
south Florida. He has also taken his shows on the road to the Florida panhandle,

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!
