Harley and Roberts rockin' the dawg

Last night, Martin Harley took to the Island Dogs stage to accompany Key West's own Tony Roberts. And tonight, Harley will make his U.S. debut with a solo performance at The Dog.

The story of how the two musicians met is actually pretty cool. Harley ran into Roberts in Barbados while surfing; the two were actually both on the island to perform their own gigs at the Virgin Holiday's Music Festival. They hit it off and ended up doing an impromptu "show" then and there for surfers and islanders alike. Then they did a set at the music festival together.

We're stoked to have Harley at Island Dogs tonight! See you there?
