• The Studios of Key West presents: Darrell Scott
• Website
• Part of TSKW's Old Town, New Folk music series. Multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Darrell Scott mines and cultivates the everyday moment, taking the rote, menial, mundane, and allowing it to be surreal, ever poignant, and candidly honest, lilting, blooming, and resonating. Scott recently toured with Robert Plant and the Zac Brown Band (2 years with each), produced albums for Malcolm Holcomb and Guy Clark and was named “songwriter of the year” for both ASCAP and NSAI. Tickets for this virtual concert are $25, $22 for TSKW members. Starts 8 p.m., and streams live on Mandolin.

• Mar 5, 2021 - Mar 7, 2021 Location: Marathon

Florida Keys sunshine and family togetherness are what have attracted hundreds of avid runners and walkers from around the country to the Middle Keys for the Sombrero Beach Run, a mixture of athleticism and beach fun. For Saturday's main event, kids and adults of all ages can participate in a 5k, 10k or 15k.
