HEADLINE: KEY WEST KIDS ROCK ‘80s TUNES AT CONCERT

DECK: Robin Kaplan’s Music Room students perform Bon Jovi, Journey & more

Turn the clock back to the days of big hair, jelly bracelets and mix tapes as the Music Room presents its annual “Kids Helping Kids” spring concert. This year’s theme, “Back to the ’80s,” aims to invoke the energy, fun and nostalgia of the decade through music.

Under the direction of Robin Kaplan, students will be joined by Joe Dallas, Skipper Kripitz and Rolando Rojas as they perform ’80s hits like “Livin’ on a Prayer” and “Don’t Stop Believin.’” The evening will include a mix of solo songs, duets and group numbers on piano, guitar and vocals. There will also be guest appearances by Kathleen Peace, Bella Jampol, Nina Pilar and Gregory James.

“Kids Helping Kids” is a musical celebration with a purpose. This year, the show will support the Florida Keys Healthy Start Coalition, an organization dedicated to ensuring that every baby in the Keys gets a healthy start in life. Donations will be accepted to help provide resources for families in need, including diapers, formula, clothing, medical care and more.
