Awaken: The Music of YES promises to be the tribute band of the summer

Martin Dube and Steve Diamond join the Florida Keys Weekly Podcast to discuss their stop at the Key West Theater on Sept 22. The duo, professionally known as Dube Diamond: Dueling Impersonators, take over the Key West Theater for an evening of comedy, pageantry and mind-blowing talent. Larry King referred to the act as “a must see,” as they perform (often in character) dozens of the world’s most recognized ballads ranging from pop, rock, opera and disco. The duo discusses their growing popularity, the most difficult singers to impersonate and even go into character during a fun segment on this week’s show.

You don’t know about  Dube &  Diamond - but it could be the best show of the summer.

Musician Tim Williams joined Keys Weekly digital editor Gwen Filosa on the Key West Side Tracks podcast for a deep dive on one of the most endearing and enduring albums of the past half century: August and Everything After by Counting Crows. 

The Tim Williams Band is headed to the Key West Theater on Monday, Aug. 12, to perform August and 30 Years After: A Counting Crows Tribute. 

Tim arrived in Key West in July to play shows in Key West and dropped by the Weekly’s office on Stock Island. From “Mr. Jones” to “Anna Begins,” Tim and Gwen go song-by-song sharing what they find meaningful in the roots rock staple. 

Tim and his band will play in its entirety the smash debut album by Counting Crows, released Sept. 14, 2023, to rave reviews and eventually sold seven times platinum. 

As he introduced Counting Crows on his show in 1994, David Letterman said, "And I’m telling you something, if you don’t have a copy of this, there’s something wrong with you.”

Key West Side Tracks is presented by the Keys Weekly Newspapers, the only locally owned and operated media outlet in the Florida Keys. Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Gwen Filosa hosts the podcast, with a wide-ranging guest list that includes touring musicians as they make stops in Key West, along with local creatives.

Key West Side Tracks is available wherever you find podcasts.
