LoFi's with Anthony Picone

Anthony Picone is the lead vocals and guitar bass for the LoFi's, a 3-piece rock band that performs throughout Key West and the Keys. With Tony "Baltimore" Durante on lead vocals and guitar and Dave Baron on drums/percussion, they've built quite a following after just a short time playing together.

Originally from New York, Picone is a singer/songwriter and also performs as a solo artist in Key West where he recently relocated. He writes and records his own songs and will occasionally perform his material with the LoFi's. 

The band keeps things loose and spontaneous on stage, welcoming requests from the audience. Their song list includes music by Bob Marley, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, The Beatles, Foo Fighters, The Cure, and Red Hot Chili Peppers as well as 70's funk, 80's pop and 90's rock.

Most of the LoFi's shows are acoustic with Picone splitting lead vocals and guitar solos with Durante. When it's time to "amp it up", Baron plays his full drum kit, Picone switches to bass and Durante plays the electric guitar.

Anthony Picone plays live on the Quarterdeck this month at 7:30 p.m. on June 19 and with the LoFi's on June 22 and 30. Check our music calendar for times.
