Meet Our Musicians!33 YearsThis South Florida-based indie-rock band focuses on tight, swirling harmonies, folkpunk-like musical backing, ragged Neil Young influences and tenor vocals. They initially drew comparisons to fellow Southern-based indie folk rockers Shovels & Rope. Multi-instrumentalists Paula and Kevin formed the group in 2009 after a twenty-something year hiatus from the mainstream musical world. Clearly, 33 Years brings a vast array of roots-based music into focus with precision execution. The couple tours extensively as a duo and band and writes in the country and indie rock genres. This is the fourth year that 33 Years has been a part of the Key Largo Original Music Fest.

Abe PartridgeAbe Partridge is a former Bap-tist preacher who accepted a pastorate at 25 and then left after a near nervous break-down at 27. He joined the US Air Force and is a veteran of foreign wars. Now in his well-seasoned mid-30s, he has begun to share his story through songs. Abe Partridge performs his songs like an old-time preacher - with all the soul he can muster. He is a poet, not afraid to tackle any subject. His songs are not an attempt at radio play or pop stardom; rather, they are somber stories with a burning message that demand an honest hearing.

Keith JohnsKeith Johns crafts dynamic, beautifully orchestrated indie folk music that reflects the va-riety of emotions present in all of our lives: at times joyful and celebratory, at times sorrowful and longing. He delivers richly-nuanced stories in his unique voice with lyrics that are soulful and honest. Following the successful release of his 2014 EP Maps & Plans, Keith and band headed back into the studio and set out to create a creatively cohesive and significant debut album. They have returned in 2016 with Grateful Fool’- a stunning, evocative journey of self-knowledge and growth, masterfully woven with threads of hope, humility and truth. Musically breathtaking and lyrically profound, Grateful Fool stands tall as a strong statement of intent and a promising sign of what else is to come.

nothing for your imagination. If you have ever been a woman scorned or a child mistreated, this is just the ther-apy you need.

She is on the fast track to success and her music shines like a light in a dark room.
