Welcome to the official website for Keys musician, writer, and the former Mayor of the City of Marathon. If you like the music of James Taylor, Tom Petty, Dan Fogelberg, or even (ahem) Jimmy Buffett, then the songs on the Storm Watch LIVE, Keys Disease and Live From the Florida Keys CDs will appeal to you.

John Bartus & Storm Watch will perform again at this year's Original Marathon Seafood Festival, this Saturday, March 10, at 3:00 p.m. Joining John, drummer Glenn Faast, and bassist Jason Poff will be local keyboardist Rob DiStasi, and special guests singer/songwriter Jen, plus country-rock sensation Amber Leigh with her father, Randy James. "It's going to be a great time," John says, "and we're really looking forward to a rockin' fun set with our guests!"
John Bartus & Storm Watch are the Saturday Night headliners at Conchtoberfest 2011, held at Hawks Cay Resort at Mile Marker 61 on Duck Key, Sept. 30 - Oct. 2. In addition, John will play two solo sets, Friday evenin g at 5:00 p.m., and Saturday at 11:00 a.m. "Were excited to be a part of this festival in its second year," John says, "and everyone should try and make an excuse to come to the Keys for this great fall event!"
Conch and Florida Keys Seafood are feature dishes, and there will be ten different beers on tap to quench the autumnal thirst. A vendors market featuring arts and crafts, as well as cooking demonstrations and fun for the entire family will make Conchtoberfest one of our islands' great events!
