Ask any music great who is one of the best to ever write and sing and they almost always include the name Angie Aparo. He's written songs for the likes of Miley Cyrus and Faith Hill and won a Grammy for Hill with his song, "Cry." He's recorded with names like Matchbox 20 and Zac Brown and thrives as an independent genius within an industry too often measured by commercial accolades. Simply put, this is the hidden gem every music fan hopes to find.
Zac Brown said, "Nobody can touch Angie Aparo as a live performer. He is incomparable." And Edwin McCain proclaimed "Angie is simply from another universe. When he plays, we all just stop in the moment and listen in awe."
Aparo's influence runs through local Key West talent as well. Celebrated musician Nick Norman said, "I once heard Angie play a few years back and I just started crying. I don't know why. It's just the power this guy has when he starts to sing and play."
Key West is invited to a rare evening with Angie Aparo at Williams Hall to experience a phenomenon that can only be experienced live. Limited tickets remain to what can only be described as an "emotional musical experience" in one of the island's most unique venues.
