The Heart-Starters: Truman Era Tribute Band – The Heart-Starters are True to Truman. Join us for an evening of live music and stories with the Key West Jazz Society’s Heart-Starters Jazz Band.
Step back in time with the swingin’ five-piece band as they revitalize the American Songbook with jukebox favorites, big band dance hits, and Academy Award winning songs from Truman’s Presidential years (1945-1952). Stories of Truman’s defining moments paired with classic melodies on the clarinet, trombone, saxophone, piano, and drums will transport you on a unique Key West journey back in time. Join us on Tuesday, January 20, 2026 on the beautiful, tropical grounds of the Key West Harry S. Truman Little White House, 111 Front St., Key West for an unforgettable night. Presented by the Key West Harry S. Truman Foundation and the Key West Jazz Society.
Gates open at 5:15 pm for cocktails and mingling, with the Heart-Starters taking the stage at 6:00 pm.
America’s 33rd President spent 11 working vacations at his “Little White House” during his 1945-1953 administration, and could often be spotted in his preferred Key West “uniform” of brightly patterned sports shirts.
In that spirit, retro summer tropical is the suggested attire for the evening.
“A Swinging Night with the Heart-Starters” is the first of four installments in this year’s Truman Music series, an ongoing program that encompasses performing with an emphasis on Truman-era local history.
