We provide opportunities for Trop Rock musician to bring their music to their fans and then we donate the proceeds to those in need. ABOUT US
There is probably no other person in Trop Rock that impacted this wonderful, musical movement more than DJ Jeff Allen and Beachfront Radio. He was the first to devote 100% of his time and talent to propelling the popularity of Trop Rock music and taking it t

o a whole new level. Sadly in 2011, Jeff was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The DJ Jeff Fund was quickly established to help with insurance copayments, medications and the ever increasing costs of his treatment and the Trop Rock community rallied. Catamaran Concerts was a major reason this fund was so successful holding its first season of live concerts while sailing the waters of Key West in 2011 during MOTM. Jeff wanted to give back the love and generosity that had been shown to him and he renamed the Fund – “Taking Care Of Our Own”. His vision was that the remaining funds be available to assist others within our Trop Rock community having difficulty with medical bills. In October 2013, Trop Rock music lost their #1 hero but he will always be known as the “Keeper of the Flame”. (Honored in Mike Miller’s song in 2012) - Captn Cali

THIS YEARS BENEFICIARY
Michael Miller Medical Fund
We are pleased to announce that our 2017 Key West events will benefit one of our own Trop Rock Singer/Songwriters, Mike Miller. Mike is the lead singer of the popular Trop Rock band, The Boat Drunks, and has been entertaining Parrot Heads and Trop Rock fans across the nation for over 17 years. Recently, Mike was diagnosed with a bone marrow disorder, Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), a life-threatening condition where his bone marrow does not create enough red blood cells. Over the next several months, Mike’s doctor will monitor blood counts weekly and to try to keep his numbers at an acceptable level through what is called “supportive care.” The only curative treatment that offers any chance of long-term survival is an Allogenic Bone Marrow Transplant. Please help us help our own by purchasing tickets to our shows, buying CD’s, Merchandise, Sponsorships and making a donation.
