LOIS WEAVER KEHOE

After barely touching the keys for 40 years, I restarted my music career here in Naples, FL. a few years ago. I play either as a solo piano player/vocalist or with one of my bands, "The Lois Kehoe Trio," or with my larger group, "Lois Kehoe & Friends." This past years, I was elected President and Secretary of the Naples Jazz Society, Inc. which has three active bands that play in the Naples area. I am also the vocalist for their Naples Jazzmasters Dixieland Band which plays concerts throughout the year. My dream was to one day sing with a big band, but at age 78 I wasn't feeling very optimistic about fulfilling that dream. Yet, I have now been selected to be the vocalist with the Naples Swing Band, a 17-piece group of great musicians that play all the favorite music of the Big Band Era. I am continuing to meet so many new, very talented musicians who have retired to Naples, some who have played for famous performers - Sinatra, Liz Minelli etc. My favorite venues are at several large downtown auditoriums, large retirement communities and country clubs and outdoor parks in Naples and on Marco Island. Also, I do play at a few restaurants in downtown Naples. I'm continuing to learn from my talented new friends. Terry is my biggest fan and also my favorite Roadie!
