"Endless Summer" Fundraiser with Howard Livingston & friends

In the words of a classic Howard Livingston song, “There’s still a lot of magic in Key West.” That magic will be on full display Saturday, April 11, when Howard and his Mile Marker 24 Band take audiences on a lively musical journey around the island city and the entire Florida Keys. The two-hour concert will showcase the band’s trop-rock melodies that capture the essence of saltwater days and rum-kissed nights — paired with visuals and stories to immerse listeners in a multi-sensory Keys experience.

Very special guests, surprises and Howard’s 1952 Johnson outboard motor “margarita machine” will add to the fun. The evening benefits the nonprofit Care Camps Foundation, funding special summer camps where kids diagnosed with cancer can find hope and happy times.
