"Hollywood" Lacer
(Lead Vocals, Percussion)

After many years wasting away on a beach drinking margaritas and chasing senoritas, Hollywood packed his tequila and came back to the Midwest to party with the Conch
Republic!  Hollywood is known by all as the perpetual "front-man" both on and off the stage.  Let's just say he's never met a person or beer her didn't like. With many years of experience as a performer, he really knows how to keep a party going - Hollywood style!
 
"Panama" Thomas
(Guitar, Vocals, Engineer)

Having lived under the assumption that forgiveness is easier than asking permission, Panama's always flown under the radar.  Armed only with his guitar (and a batch of
freshly poured  boat drinks) Panama and the rest of the Conchs are proud to present a little bit of the lower latitudes to your One Particular Harbor!  Life needs the Caribbean and what is the Caribbean without rum? Drink up me 'earties, yo ho!
 
"Lt. Dan" Combs
(Drums, Percussion)

What can we say about Dan... he's "the man", of course!  We call the Lieutenant the Man because he can do just about anything when it comes to percussion!  Plus, how
many guys do you know that can play drums with one hand and chug back a cold cerveza in the other?  Well, Dan's not one of them, but he sure can do each of them well individually.  Plus, he loves to eat hot, hot, hot chili peppers straight up.  No doubt about it, Lt. Dan is "The Man"!
 
 
"Jam" Cooley
(Keyboard, Marimba, Trumpet, Vocals)

Jam Cooley or better know as "Spike", grew out of the tradition of the great Central Kentucky party band "Big Daddy and the Ducktails" who, during the 70's,
traveled and performed at all of the port and party cities on the east coast, with an extended stay in Savannah, Georgia.  Now with the Conch Republic, he hopes to continue that party tradition.  Jam got through college and the years that followed on a diet of pickled wienies and Little Kings.  jam's motto has always been, "No beer to cheap, no woman too ugly!"
 
"Moonlight" Graham
(Conga, Bongos, Timbales, Drums, Percussion)

Imagine yourself lying on the beach, enjoying a frosty boat drink while listening to the crashing waves and tropical music.  Now add a little "moonlight" and you have
the perfect setting... a little of Moonlight Graham, that is.  Not only is Moonlight an amazing percussionist, he may be one of the most versatile players anywhere... when he's not chillin' with his favorite frosty beverage, of course.  Bottom line, "he just wants to bang on his drum all day."
 
 
"Skelly Mon" Gritton
(Guitar, Mandolin, Ukulele, Vocals)

Skelly Mon is much like his mythical cousin that many of you know - Jolly Mon.  While his background is not fully known, we do know that he is an amazing
musician with a love  for the Trop Rock, the beach, and a cold frosty drink.  The Conch Republic just wouldn't be complete with the musical stylings and comic antics of the 'mon we love - Skelly Mon!  "Oh, oh, oh, oh, Skelly Mon sing.  Oh, oh, oh, oh, make the music ring!"
 
"ChiTown" Hutter
(Steel Pan, Marimba, Conga, Bongos)

Ah, yes, ChiTown Hutter... the baddest man on a steel pan to ever venture out of the Port of Chicago.  While he may be the newest member of the Conch Republic family, he is in no way shape
or form a rookie to Trop Rock.  ChiTown is not only a great steel pan player, he plays all percussion styles and studies at the University of Kentucky.  So no matter what instrument he decides to grab, his play will always put you in a tropical state of mind.
 
"Bud Vegas" McKinley
(Bass, Sax, Vocals)

What do you get when you take pirate and rock-n-roll bass player?  You get a party animal unlike any other!  Bud "Vegas" has played with so many different bands in so
many different genres, we don't have room to list them all. But he has finally rediscovered his Piratitude and has returned to his true love - Trop Rock!   Yes, ladies, he is a tall drink of water, but he's also a pirate at heart, so ye' beware.  A pirate's first love is always the sea...
 
"Buckeye Babe" Lacer
(CONCHETTE: Backup Vocals, Dancer)

This bonita senorita has been singing and performing all her life.  She may have been raised up north, but the southern latitude is in her blood.  This Conchette knows how
to work the crowd both on and off the stage.  Eileen is a big part of the band's success.  Best of all, when she's on stage, she really knows how to make a hula skirt dance!
 
"Senora" Thomas
(CONCHETTE: Backup Vocals, Dancer)

“Shake! Shake! Shake, Senora!”  Just as the music begins so does “Senora”! You won’t find this Conchette sitting still when the band begins to play! Whether on
the stage, leading the conga line, handing out business cards,  or taking photos for the website, Senora is always shaking her “grass skirt" – truly a Hula Girl at Heart!
 
"The Boss" Newton
(Road Manager, Sound/Light Tech)

When it comes to road warriors, there are none bigger than Craig, "Da Boss" Newton.  The Boss keeps this band in shape to keep sailing because without him,
who knows that would happen to this band of crazy pirates.  The Boss is a graduate of a true recording engineer's school and has his own custom fit truck and trailer.  All you have to do is look at him and you know why he is able to keep the Conch Republic on the straight and narrow.

   About Conch Republic

Countless tales abound surrounding the formation of the musical 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!

STOP Same Sex Abuse





Jul 3 2009 4:19 PM

About this page:
I have been very active in Domestic Violence causes all of my adult life. I noticed a need in the world pertaining to Same Sex Domestic Violence. It happens more than people know. Unfortunately there are a number of gay people who barely consider themselves worthy or valued as a gay person much less a Domestic Violence Victim. There are also very limited resources, statistics, or information, for Same Sex Domestic Violence. Hopefully through empowerment and education we can change some of this. :D

I once drove all the way to the west end of Key West loking for Margaritaville, only to have a local point out that it's located at the bottom of a salted glass tipped almost straight up! I can find Margaritaville just about anywhere now! I'm Saved!
