In 2010, Key West singer-songwriter Tony Roberts set sail on a soul-searching journey toBarbados, West Indies, and out of this voyage, ”Welcome to Today” was born. This collection of original songs intrinsically represents the love and chaos that exist within the beauty of the islands and how surfing, friendship and music can clear a path to hope.
The premiere of the hour-long film is set for July 29 and 30 at the Florida Keys Eco-Discovery Center at 8pm both nights. Tickets are $25 and include a copy of the “Welcome to Today” DVD/CD. An after-party will be held on July 30 at 10pm at Island Dogs at 505 Front Street with a live performance by Roberts and his longtime collaborator, Samantha Waite.
Forty percent of all profits from sales of ”Welcome to Today” will go to The American Cancer Society, The Lupus Foundation of America, The Bahama Village Music Program and The Welcome to Today Fund (a fund set up by Roberts to support youth surfing in Barbados). The DVD/CD combo will be available for purchase at Roberts’ live shows, online at www.welcometotodayfilm.org, at retail stores throughout the Florida Keys and atsurf shops in the United States and Barbados. Ultimately, with distribution in the US and hopefully worldwide, Roberts hopes to keep this as a continued source of funding for these charities and similar artistic projects in the future.
