Music At Martello’s Donavon Frankenreiter Concert: A Call for Food and Artist Vendors, Volunteers, and Sponsors
Key West Art & Historical Society and Key West Concerts are seeking food and artist vendors, volunteers, and sponsors to support a “festival-like atmosphere” during the Donavon Frankenreiter concert at historic Fort East Martello’s parade grounds at 3501 S. Roosevelt Blvd. on Sunday, August 30.
The family-friendly concert, which is part of the KWAHS Music At Martello Series, features pro surfer-turned-musician Frankenreiter and young Australian Cody Simpson, who will send out their breezy, laid-back acoustic vibes to as many as 900 concertgoers during an early-evening concert. Frankenreiter’s concerts are known for his “feel-good” music and relaxed atmosphere that also ramps up at times for upbeat dancing in front of the stage.
Artist and food vendors are sought to compliment the evening’s “back-yard casual” set-up as well as the acoustic-smooth sound and folky, island vibes that both musicians are well known for.
Event organizers are also looking for volunteers for set-up, cleanup and parking; volunteers will receive a free ticket in exchange for an hour of work. Sponsorships are also available and will be featured in all media materials. Please direct all volunteer, art and food vendor inquiries to [email protected]. Sponsorship packages can be viewed at http://keywestconcerts.com/sponsors.
Portions of the concert’s proceeds, sponsored in part by Florida Keys Media, We Cycle, WonderDog Productions, Ecoscapes, Help Yourself, and Shipyard Brewing, will help fund KWAHS educational programs and initiatives. The concert is expected to sell out; advanced discounted ticket purchase is available at www.KeyWestConcerts.com for $25.
Doors open at 4:30; the opening show starts at 5:45 and will continue through twilight. Tickets purchased on site are $30, children under 12 are free. Key West Art & Historical Society members can call 305.295.6616 x 106 for special member-priced tickets and to join KWAHS to receive member benefits.
Parking will be available for $5, bike parking is free. For more information call 305.295.6616 x 106 or visit KWAHS.org.
