Island Grass Music Fest to Benefit Habitat For Humanity Sunday Feb. 23

RAMROD KEY, Florida Keys — Contemporary and traditional offerings and original tunes by Florida Keys performing songwriters are to highlight the musical menu during the 15th Annual Island Grass Music Fest, set for 1-6 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 23, on Ramrod Key.

The musical afternoon benefits Habitat for Humanity of Key West and the Lower Florida Keys. The event is to take place at Boondocks Grille & Draft House, mile marker 27.5 on U.S. Highway 1.

The entertainment lineup features a host of the seasoned performers whose talents enrich the Florida Keys music scene — among them Howard Livingston, the Doerfel Family, Bill Blue & the Nervous Guys, Pat McCune, the Piper Road Spring Band and a trio composed of Gary Hempsey, Ron Baumann and event producer Terry Cassidy.

Festival attendees also can purchase food and beverages to enjoy with the music and bid on items at a silent auction to benefit Habitat for Humanity. Vendor booths and raffles are to round out the afternoon’s attractions.

Proceeds support Habitat’s mission vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
