Yesterday he did his first show (really a last minute booking with his friends Scott and Jodie of Palapa Bar) and filled the place.
And for a small concert and sing-a-long, I can think of few better places.
I chatted with him for a few minutes before the show. He’s switched up his venues a bit this year and remains committed to keep the shows open (not selling passes that might make his shows less accessible to his local fans.) He is also working on his next album. “80% there” he says. If there is a theme, Kelly told me, it’s autobiographical. And based on the songs that he played during yesterday’s show…I’m hearing that Kelly is in love.
Here’s one that he played for the very first time live.
The release date is planned for April 1st.
Here are pictures from yesterday:
Lots of good eats before the show. The bartenders and the kitchen were working double time.
I conveniently located some friends in the “front row” and got a great seat.
Kelly singing a bit of “Boat in Belize”
And look! A SanPedroScoop.com sticker. Gotta love this bar.
Great show.

He tried the expensive passes but he couldn’t draw.. So he had to open up.. Just doesn’t draw like Jjw or JB ..
We love all those guys. Not a competition. And I respect how JJW brings in a huge crew. They are both great.
Sorry jjwstalker, Kelly has NEVER charged anyone to see him play on this island, and his shows are always jam packed and everyone has a great time…I am JJW fan, and have been for 42 years, I know and love both guys. Not sure why there needs to be any negative posts about anyone, lets just enjoy “ALL” the music get along.
