Billy Currington gets it. Key West clicks with the country star — and the feeling is mutual.
Lightning delayed the start of the June 7 show at the Coffee Butler Amphitheater, but the show was worth the wait, said fans who had set up camp while waiting in line for the weather to pass.
The show featured Currington’s No. 1 hit from 2010, “That’s What Country Boys Do.”
The video for the song was shot in Key West, where the film crew captured Currington, his bandmates and buddies on a beach, a sportfishing boat and in a downtown bar.
Currington’s other crowd favorites included “People Are Crazy,” “Good Directions” and more than a dozen others.
He invited Key West hip hop artists Mike Stack and D-Lew, whose song, “I’m From Key West,” is the island’s latest anthem, to open for him.
“What a great Key West night,” one concertgoer said. “You can tell Billy Currington likes it here, and Key West isn’t just a tour stop in some random city. I love that.”
