The 4th Annual “Party Like a Rockstar “

Kaya Island Eats @ The Key West Empourium | 618 Duval Street | 6:00PM- 12:00AM

Get ready for a once-in-a-lifetime night of music, energy, and pure rock ’n’ roll spirit at The Backyard Bar! Hosted by Jeff Clark and Derek Dunbar. Partial proceeds from this year’s event will go toward supporting Key West legend Caffeine Carl’s medical bills, making the celebration as meaningful as it is unforgettable. The night kicks off at 8 PM with the Guitar Shred-Off — a head-to-head guitar battle featuring some of Key West’s finest players and some out-of-town next level talent. With $1,000 cash on the line, this one-hour showdown isn’t about proving who’s best, but about sharing the magic of being in the moment with incredible musicians.

From 9 to 10 PM, Jeff Clark’s All Star Band takes the stage, keeping the energy soaring with a powerhouse set. At 10 PM, the spotlight shifts to the Costume & Air Guitar Contest. Bring your best rock ’n’ roll look for a chance to win: $300 for first place, $200 for second, and $100 for third.

This is more than just a party — it’s a dream come true, a night of guitars, costumes, community, and unforgettable memories. Don’t miss it!
