The Shanty Hounds played at Willie T's for about three years before COVID hit. To say we loved it there would be an understatement. It was always a really fun gig and we always did well there, the customers had a blast, and the establishment always had great numbers on our shifts!
When COVID subsided and everyplace reopened, things were a bit sketchy at first for all businesses. Because of this, The Shanty Hounds were taken off Willie T's schedule.
Since then they've called us as a fill in, which we're more than happy to do!
Often our friends ask us "When are you playing Willie T's?". All we can say is "Whenever they ask us!"
The main purpose of an establishment having live music, the true bottom line, is to generate more sales. We understand this and cater our shows with that in mind. However, it must be stated that we have a fabulous group of friends who support us and that's what makes it happen!
We filled in at Willie T's a few months back, two Mondays in a row. The first Monday fifteen friends came to see us! The second Monday sixteen friends came by. Thank you!
Willie T's had us back today, Monday, January 2nd 2023 and.... jeeze!
We have the greatest friends! Over twenty friends came to see us!
Monday's early shift, 11 - 2 work for us!
They consumed both food and drinks and had a great time in doing so! Another important factor is that when people are walking down Duval and pass a place that is hopping, they go in to check out what all the excitement is. It also goes without saying that had we not been there, our friends would have been elsewhere.
Our Modus Operandi is to have fun at gigs and that works well for us!
Of course our motto is: "If anyone here is not having a good time I'm afraid we're going to have to ask you to leave!" 😀
So again, major gratitude to all who came by and had FUN with us on Monday and loving and supporting live music in Key West, and The Shanty Hounds!
Thank you SO much!!!
Thank you to Willie T's for having us!
And a BIG tip of the hat to Steve Craigo, who always gets this ball rolling and has followed and supported us since he moved to Key West! We love you, Steve!
