Drums

Randy’s father first sparked his interest in music at a very young age. Drum lessons and school music programs soon blossomed into his first professional road gig at the age of 18. He then spent many years performing on stages throughout the U.S., including stints in the Nashville and Atlanta music scenes. His first trip to Key West in 1998 was a monumental moment in his career. After two years of burning up the road between Nashville and Key West, he decided he wanted to make a life in the beautiful Florida Keys, drums in tow. His ‘rhythm and roots’ feel and immeasurable musical dexterity holds down the groove for the Key Lime Pirates as well as many other Key West related musical endeavors. Randy is in demand performing several nights a week, not only behind the drums, but also on the beautiful coastal waters of the Keys. As a renowned kayak-fishing expert, he authors a monthly column in Fishmonster magazine and guides visiting anglers on flats-fishing expeditions. LowerKeysKayakFishing.com

The list of accolades and accomplishments for trumpeter Kenny Fradley is incredible. This NYC-born and Rhode Island raised musician has seen the world a thousand times over, performing and recording with everyone from U2, Blondie, and Michael Jackson to Wyclef Jean, Cab Calloway, and Kid Creole. He has performed at Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden, in various musicals on Broadway, entertained Princess Diana in London, and performed twice at the White House for presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush. Kenny first attended college at Brown University, then transferred to the Manhattan School of Music/The Julliard School where he earned his Bachelors Of Music in 1977. His love of Latin music connected him with the queen of salsa Celia Cruz, Cuban dance band La Sonora Matancera, Grammy award winners pianist Eddie Palmieri and tumbadora Ray Barreto, the infamous Tito Puente, and Ray De La Paz. Kenny happened to be performing in Key West when the tragic events of 9/11 occurred. He knew that life as it was in NYC would be forever changed and the island life quickly beat out the hustle and bustle of ‘The Big Apple’. He has become the ‘icing of the Key West music scene’s cake’ and we are honored to have him performing regularly with the Key Lime Pirates.
