Micah Gardner is a songwriter, musician, fisherman, and tour guide who is a local fixture in the Islamorada area of the Florida Keys. Micah's music is a mixture of reggae, bluegrass, pop and folk, from which he forms an earthy, breezy style all his own. Micah calls himself a survivor of the changing world of the Keys, one who can "live the dream, go to work in sandals and come home to a kayak, a happy dog, and a cold beer." He composes most of his music sitting on the dock after late night gigs, performing around the Keys and sometimes at the local Sparrow's Nest Tiki Bar, his dog Pepper sitting front stage by his side.
Micah loves music and making people happy, but he likes "to carry a message of conservation and environmental ethic because we are only on this planet for a short time and we need to recognize our impact on the delicate balance of nature." He also has written a play for children called "Humphrey the Manatee." See and hear Micah (and Pepper!) perform "The Hurricane Song," on YouTube
