Description
Countless tales abound surrounding the formation of the Trop Rock pirates known as the Conch Republic; tales of treachery, debauchery, mayhem and controlled insanity.
Hailing from the Port of Indecision, just South of Insanity, the Conch Republic turns every event into a little bit o' Margaritaville! But ye be warned, the Conch Republic is not for the timid and faint-of-heart. The Conch Republic is for the young and young-at-heart, wanting to let their inner-Parrothead/Pirate/Landshark, etc... come out to play.
So keep a weather eye open mates, and hold on tight. Thar be squalls ahead and guilty pleasures for all!
-----------------------------------------------
The Conch Republic is a "Trop Rock" band (often referred to as a Jimmy Buffett tribute band) made up of seven men and three women who are all professional musicians and have been in the business as performers, song writers, studio musicians, and producers for more than two cumulative centuries. The Conch Republic show is high-energy and focuses on crowd participation. We are business professionals full-time, so Conch Republic is our opportunity to do what we love best and have a lot of fun. Above all, we pride ourselves in being a group about entertainment! We provide all of our own sound equipment, lights, tropical backdrops, lighted palm trees, surf boards, and seven band members playing electric guitar, ukulele/mandolin, keyboards, bass guitar, drums, congas/bongos and steel pan, other hand percussion instruments, and have backup singers and dancers.
We also offer a smaller group called "Conch on the Half Shell". This is an acoustic set that only includes five of our members playing acoustic guitar, ukulele/mandolin, steel pan and congas/bongos. It is still a fun and lively show, but it is much more low-key than the entire band and includes only a small amount of decorations.
We have played many large venue events like "Meeting of the Minds" in Key West, the Jimmy Buffett Pre-Party Concert at Cheeseburger In Paradise, Parrotstock, and many more!
