Singer-Songwriter Night, starting at 8 p.m. This Wednesday, Aug. 9, Anderson will be at the Schooner
Wharf Bar, 7-11. Anderson lived in Key West for a number of years, but now he plays clubs from Maine
to Florida. KWTN music reviewer called Anderson's work "an act so above the ordinary as to be in the
as-yet unknown superstar league . . . A younger, more sophisticated John Prine." The late Shel
Silverstein called him "a finished product."
