It's going to be a great music week at the Green Parrot, starting tonight, Friday, March 29, with the Downchild Blues Band— the original Blues Brothers. Do you think that Dan Akroyd invented the Blues Brothers for a movie? Wrong. He was inspired by this very band during his early years in Toronto. Now, you can see and hear the real thing. The music starts at 10.
Chicago-born and Austin-groomed harmonica blues-man Gary Primich returns to the Parrot this Saturday and Sunday, March 30-31, 10-2 on Saturday with a special OFT (Old Fogies Time) on Sunday at 8:30.
On Monday night, April 1, for one night only, the Parrot is bringing in the horn-powered rock `n roll jazz party meisters, the Countdown Quartet, 10-2. Jazztime Magazine calls this group's music "smash-mouth jazz with an R&B chaser."
And, finally, this Wednesday and Thursday, April 3-4, Billy Bacon & the Forbidden Pigs reclaim
the stage at the Parrot. Just how much swine-jive can you take? Dress to swill, then go to the Parrot and
find out.
WHY NOT SAY IT LIKE IT IS? The Funky Beans may be the best band in Key West. Nuff
said? They're at the Schooner Wharf Bar tonight and tomorrow night, March 29-30, 7-Midnight.
This week's Key West Film Society flick is "Bread and Tulips". A bored housewife on the lam
finds love in Venice. Two shows: Tomorrow, Saturday, March 30, and Sunday, March 31, 8 p.m., San
Carlos Institute.
Larry Smith will showcase singer Frances Edge this Sunday, March 31, at 10 p.m. in the piano bar
at the Pier House Resort. Frances, who has performed with the Key West Pops Orchestra and the Paradise
Big Band, will be presenting an evening of blues, ballads and Broadway.
