Benefit for Habitat for Humanity of Key West – 3rd Annual Votes for Notes GRAND FINALE OCTOBER 13TH

 

Grand Finale: October 13, Smokin’ Tuna Saloon, 6-9pm

For the 3rd year local musician Ray West is producing a musical benefit for Habitat for Humanity of Key West & the Lower Florida Keys.  “I wanted to find a way to bring additional customers into our local establishments during the traditionally slow season. So I came up with this friendly competition which also benefits a non-profit that does so much good in our community.  Votes for Notes gives local amateurs and professional musicians a chance to perform in a fun, relaxed atmosphere for a great cause.” – Ray West, event organizer.

The audience is treated to new local talent of all ages and popular professionals donating their time and talent.  After each performance the audience votes for favorite acts with a buck in the donation bucket to Habitat.  And they vote early and vote often and Habitat wins, too!   After 3 rounds of competition, the performer that garners the most in donations wins a Musical Prize Package – gift certificates to music stores, musical instruments, free studio time, and more!

Acts can still sign up to compete as solos, duos, groups, or with our professional back-up band.  Performers of all ages are encouraged. Musicians should contact Ray West (612) 388-6333 or [email protected].

The first round was Monday, 9/30 at the Sunset Grille in Marathon.  This first round was sponsored by BOTH lower keys Habitats.  The winner of this night’s competition was the band Phoenix followed by Moondogs and Shastina Chiles, a 13 year old returning competitor.
