Sunday’s scheduled early evening Donavon Frandenreiter concert at Fort East Martello parade grounds in Key West will take place rain or shine.

“We’ve got tents to protect the band and their equipment, and more tenting for concert attendee’s,” said Evan Haskell, co-owner of Key West Concerts, who is producing the show in partnership with the Key West Art & Historical Society. “We anticipate windows of clear weather, but also recommend that concertgoer’s bring their rain-gear. We are not in a remote field in Woodstock, NY, but there actually is precedent that mud and music, mixed just-so in the right place and time can create magic,” he added.

Key West is the final stop in Hawaii-based pro-surfer turned musician Frankenreiter’s 2015 U.S. mainland East coast tour.

Events at the historic fort will kick off at 3 p.m. with an ArtCamp! exhibit of some of the 5-12 year old camp participant’s creative works, accomplished over a summer of local explorations. Concert grounds open at 4:30 and live music kicks off with opening act Tony Roberts at 5:45pm (Roberts replaces originally scheduled opening act Cody Simpson, who encountered storm related travel complications), followed at 7pm by Frankenreiter who will perform from nearly ten years of solo hit recordings, including his May 2015 release “The Heart”.

Portions of the concert’s proceeds, which is sponsored in part by Pirate Radio, Florida Keys Media, We Cycle, Ecoscapes, Help Yourself, Shipyard Brewing, and WonderDog Productions, will help support KWAHS’s community outreach and educational programs. $25 advanced discounted ticket purchase is available at keywestconcerts.com .
