Just three guys with a passion for TropRock music, friends and fun, the Desert Island Band will entertain and delight! You'll find something here for everyone:

Keeping Our Day Jobs - The DIB anthem, it's about that of feeling you enjoy when you're able break away from the rat race and just escape with the music.

I Like It When the Wind Blows - Sail away with a young man and his sweetheart in this tale of sailboats, warm breezes and a clear blue sea.

'Til I Felt Good - Ever feel really good one day, and then realize that you'd felt bad for a while and just didn't even know it?

Tropical Daydream Attacks - The song for those of us who slave away in our day jobs but constantly dream of escaping to the beach.

I'm Mid South - A bluesy story of growing up on the river and making life special with very little.

$14 and Change - Escape to your childhood, and remember the best things in life ain't things.

If I Was a Lizard - A song about missing someone far away, and wishing you could just be a lizard on their wall to spend time with them.

Flip Flop Shoes - For the tropically minded hopeless romantic!

Sandy Wishes - The beautiful story of a young woman who longs to break away from her life for just a little while.

No Name Pub - The best bar on Big Pine Key and a place to raise a glass to the people we've known and loved.

Hollow Man - One of the greatest TropRock songs of all time, "Hollow Man" is the DIB tribute to a universally loved song and band - The Boat Drunks.
