C W Colt known as The Caribbean Country Blues Master is teaming up with The Honky Tonk Queen  of Louisiana Kim Carson to do several shows in Key West and one show at the Looe Key Tiki Bar .  The shows will start April 10 at The Hogfish Bar and Grill on Stock Island and an afternoon show will be April 11th at The Two Friends Bar on Front St starting at 11:30 am followed by another show at The Hogfish Friday at 7pm. On Monday the 14th they will perform at The Ocean Key Resort on the Sunset Pier 1 to 4 pm and then Looe Key Tiki bar at 6 to 10 pm.

Kim has just finished her 10th CD to be released in Europe at the end of June and in the United States in October. Her forthcoming album “Enough Heart Left to Break” is good ol’ honky-tonk music with a dance hall sound that is chock full of fiddles and steel guitars.

Growing up in rural Texas and Oklahoma and now based out of New Orleans, LA, Kim’s sound is a gumbo of original high energy roots rock and renegade honky tonk music. Kim Carson has been named “Best Country Artist” by readers of OffBeat magazine eight times. Carson has made a name for herself as the undisputed “Queen of Louisiana Honky Tonk Music” and distinguished herself as a formidable Country songwriter. After Hurricane Katrina, Carson moved to Texas to form “Buffalo Speedway”, a Renegade Honky Tonk band in 2005. Kim moved back to rebuild her house in New Orleans in 2008.

Kim and her band tour extensively in Europe and have performed at the Country Music Festival in Silkeborg, Denmark / Routes du Rock Festival in Lavardac, France / Country Music Festival Vinstra, Norway /Western Experience – Scheveningen, Netherlands / Country Rendez-Vous in Craponne, France / Mirande among other festivals. Her band “The Enablers” currently includes New Orleans players Jeb Rault on guitar, Marshall Baker on violin, Bruce Tyner on pedal steel and Wayne Lohr on piano….and sometimes Ian Smith an Mike Kobrin on trumpets.

Carson’s music is the real deal country with influences from Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, and Loretta Lynn. “She’s less Diva and more Honky Tonk girl.”

This is another of the Hired Guns songwriter events that C W Colt has brought to the Keys and it is sure to be an entertaining show for all to see. Make plans to see one of these Honky Tonk special shows and get your boots on for a honky tonk fun time.
