Eight years after the now-famous release of photographer Ralph De Palma’s “The Soul of Key West, Volume II,” which was headlined by the return from retirement of Coffee Butler, it’s time to release Volume III.
The hardcover books are filled with professional photography and insightful details about the musicians, bands, songs and stories that comprise the soundtracks to any night in Key West. These musicians make Key West one of the most vibrant local music scenes in the country, and De Palma captures them all.
On Saturday, Jan. 13, The Studios of Key West will host a book-signing and release party featuring a 15-piece band of local Key West musical treasures. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the music starts at 8. It will be a night of good deeds and musical whims. They will perform original music, cover favorites, pay tribute to many, and in the process treat the crowd to their amalgam of talent.
“The Soul of Key West, Volume III” and the other volumes will be on sale before, during and after the show with the author available to personalize your version. One can also start collecting the autographs of the musicians who will be available during the break and after.
