Overview

A Plethora of Whimsical Songs!

It's a tale as old as the sea and as new as today, of dichotomy & duality, of the unlikely yet natural pairing of disparate elements: old & young, knowledge & innocence, low & high, great & small, plain & pretty, landlubber & seafarer - Zee Loons!

Pop, Swing, Country & Rock Blend, forming a seamless foray into fine fun music. Mandolin & Ukulele, Xylophone, Mountain Dulcimer, Harmonica amongst other percussion, create a lovely, lively, lilting platform for musical mirth.

What began as a brief foray into uncharted waters has evolved into an odyssey with no end in sight. Each time they play it's a Magical show of delight!

Wonderful Music~

I found these wonderful musicians playing at Mellow Ventures a popular restaurant by the Key West Marina.

I grabbed a taco, listened to their set & fell in love with their music.

They played a mix of covers & originals~both of which were magnificent!

I spoke with them at the end of their show & asked if they'd play private parties on my charter boat. Lucky for me, they said yes & they've been playing for me ever since.

These two loons are fine musicians with a great sense of humor & fun.

Their concert is the most wonderfully unique I've ever seen.

Thanks Loons~

Senior Center Delight!

These two magnificant musicians played a regular gig at our senior center.

We were amazed by their engaging music that delighted all of our residents.

These two have a genuine warmth about them that lit up the whole room. They always stayed after their gig to chat with our residents & play cards!

Their music was perfect for our senior center! They played feel good music from the 1930s through 1970s which brought a smile to our residents as they travelled down memory lane.

What a treat! Thank you so much Loons!

Keep playing your beautiful Music!

Regards,
Danny

Dance, Drink & be Merry

These two loons are a hoot!

They played a regular gig at my bar & brought in all sorts of fun folks to drink, dance and be merry!

This band has that special je ne sais quoi that lures listeners in & raises their spirits high. These musicians keep everyone laughing&dancing which is key at a place like mine.

Can't wait for the season to start up & get these guys back in & playing!

Rocked my Restaurant!

Bravo Loons!

These two are so much fun!

They played a regular Saturday gig at our popular Restaurant in the Keys & always attracted lots of folks in to eat, drink & dance!

I met Luna (the cute freckly redhead) with a watermelon ukulele in her knapsack returning from doing howler Monkey rehabilitation out East.

She & Steve played me a few original & cover songs on my patio & I was hooked!

You won't find more charming, talented & fun Musicians!

Be sure to ask them to play their lovely version of Blue Moon.

Enjoy!

They played my daughter's wedding & blew us all away.

We asked them to play mostly swing & jazz tunes. They played a wonderfully varied repitoire of songs.

We were all up laughing & dancing!
