5 When asked how he entices the artists to attend, DiGiorgio says it's easy. I ask them if they want to come to exotic Key Largo in the winter. Once they get here and perform, they always want to come back. International Blues star Debbie Davies even took some time to swim with the dolphins while she was here. Many performers comment on how the Key Largo fans are some of the best. They really enjoy the music. The event is sponsored by DiGiorgio s Café Largo and Bayside Grille and will be held at their location in Downtown Key Largo at Overseas Highway.
