ZANY KEY WEST SONGS ! Now comes this CD collection of comedy songs that is SO “over the top”, that it could only have been spawned in Key West from Rick's time there for two decades. The Local hard drinking, irreverent underground flavor of the Keys finally revealed, after many bar room performances, late night parties, and years in the making. Local songwriters learned in time, not to try to keep up with the 1 week drinkers and partiers.” But when serious songwriting failed the sometimes shallow clientele, Chicanery, buffonery and songs like these did the trick. Now, Rick has gone into the studio to record and share these rare moments of some of Key West's most prolific songwriters. Rick Steffen is a career musician with a lifelong passion for music composition and performance. He has been a band and solo performer for over 25 years, and uses his music to inspire us to travel with him to island venues and soak up some soulful fuel for ourselves. His experiences of 10 years in Key West, jaunts to down island Caribbean venues, and his personal quests has honed his songwriting to including humor, politics, and a unique view of relationships. He creates and delivers songwriting & music often with country, reggae, Rock, latin, and calypso rhythms. These songs include nationally known studio musicians. Rick’s songs, from 5 Cds, have been featured on the Radio Margaritaville Sirius channel, at the annual Parrothead festivals in Key West and even on several Airline headphone channels. He has played for thousands at county fairs, charity events, and music seafood festivals, and parrothead house parties. This allows him to interact directly with his audience especially on his comedy tunes. In March 2012 , Rick maintains a shore side lifestyle at his home base in Daytona Beach, Florida.
