The fabulous Trinidelphia Caribbean Band leads off and closes each show. Foxy will perform some of his classic music including his Jost Van Dyke song ("In the middle of the island") and stories that have regaled sailors at his bar and restaurant - Foxy's - at Great Harbour on the island of Jost Van Dyke in the BVI's for the past 50 years! If you have not seen him perform - see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRG0xoSJWtk
We are delighted that Foxy will be in St. Michaels, Maryland for these concerts and to help us raise funds for the restoration of Endeavor II (32 foot sailboat) built at Foxy's and the 3 sailing dinghies damaged by Hurricane Irma on Sept. 6, 2017.

Special Caribbean menu with food and drinks to make this a "Caribbean Night" to remember! Foxy's Harbor Grille in St. Michaels knows how to do this! (Food and drinks priced separately from the show tickets) Photo above shows Caribbean Burger - 7 oz beef seasoned with Bill's secret spices and topped with pimento cheese, grilled peppers and onions on brioche roll with jalapeno jam. The drink menu will include Caribbean beers (Presidente and Caribe) and the rum based "Pain Killer" created on Jost Van Dyke and other rum drinks we have all enjoyed in the Caribbean. The food will be on the "spicy side" for the most part including "Chicken Roti", pulled pork in Cuban sandwitch , coconut-curry mussels and specials created by "Chef Bill". The food and drinks are reasonably priced so you will have "plenty of jingle in your pockets" to help with your donation to the Jost Van Dyke Preservation Society to restore the sailboats used in their youth sailing programs.
Online Ticket Sales Closed. Possible tickets available at the Ticket Table at Foxy's Harbor Grille. Call Will on 410-829-0510 for the latest ticket status!
A monster hurricane by the name of IRMA devastated the Leeward Islands and especially the British Virgin Islands including Jost Van Dyke (JVD) last September. The above photo shows the main town of Great Harbour after the Cat 5 Hurricane slammed into the island with winds in excess of 200 MPH. Note that the trees and almost all vegetation were knocked down or blown away - and most buildings were left in ruins except for a few reinforced concrete structures (most roofs were blown off). The famous Foxy's bar and restaurant at the far end of the beach in this photo (note the blue plastic tarps over Foxy's) suffered major damage, but Foxy and his employees were able to reopen the next day and served meals for about a month to most of the people stranded on the island.
The Jost Van Dyke Preservation Society was set up years ago by Foxy to help preserve their maritime heritage, and we ask that donations by check be made out to JVDPS - you can check out their web site at: www.JVDPS.org. They need our help to restore Endeavor II - the traditional JVD 32 foot sloop built at Foxy's about ten years ago and the 3 small sailing dinghies damaged in the storm. These are essential for JVDPS to restart their sail training programs for the youth and young adults on the island! In lieu of sending me a check for JVDPS, you can donate by credit card via this web site and we will consolidate the donations and get them to JVDPS. Most of the funds generated from the four concerts after paying for the band and some other expenses will go to the Jost Van Dyke Preservation Society, a registered IRS 501 (c) (3) charity.

Started in June of 2017 to produce concerts in St. Michaels, Maryland to bring the music of the Caribbean to this lovely seaport. All funds generated (after expenses) go to a charity like JVDPS - no overhead or administrative expenses!
We created a special menu - food and drinks - to remind us of many wonderful adventures sailing to the fabulous British Virgin Islands. Presidente beer from the Dominican Republic, and the "Painkiller" rum drink that originated on Jost Van Dyke along with other popular beers and rum drinks! Spicy food to match!
We raised over $14,000 last September at our concerts on Sept. 12 & 13th, 2017 for emergency relief funds for the Jost Van Dyke Preservation Society. Help us raise even more this year so JVDPS will have the funds to restore their sailboats used in their youth sailing programs.
