SERVICES, REVIEWS, AND MISC. INFO!!!!!
CONCH, COWBOYS & TALES OF OLD KEY WEST REVIEW…..The Red Barn presented 4 nights only of this show, which we happened to see on Monday night! It starred John Wells, Paul Cotton, Gary McDonald, Tom Murtha & George Halloran with special guests, Camille Toler and Alex Ocinczyc! It was great fun all evening long as these talented musicians and singers entertained us royally, brought great big smiles to our faces, and sent us home happier than when we arrived that night! The sold out audience roared and enjoyed every second. Rumor has it that it may be carried on for more nights to come….and if they bring it back….do yourselves a favor and go see it! (In the audience last night was Ben Harrison who may not have been onstage, but John Wells and Ben wrote a lot of the songs sung in the show, together….like Here Comes the Conch Train, and Bum Farto…..which you gotta hear!)
