Legendary singer/songwriter Mac McAnally’s voice “feels like an old friend,” according to another country music legend with deep Key West connections, Kenny Chesney.
McAnally’s current tour included three sold-out shows Dec. 4, 5 and 6 at Key West Theater, where McAnally’s fellow southern storyteller and songwriter Nick Norman kicked off each show.
A Mississippi native, McAnally has spent the past 50 or so years turning “10-page short stories into three-minute songs,” he says.
McAnally is a 10-time Country Music Association Musician of the Year, an inductee in five music halls of fame, author of multiple No. 1 hits and a Grammy-nominated artist, producer and songwriter.
Oh, and he spent a good bit of time writing songs and performing with a guy named Jimmy Buffett and his Coral Reefer Band.
McAnally’s and Norman’s Key West connections were evident in each song at all three shows, where the performers were clearly having as much fun as the crowd.
