HOLMES BEACH – AMI Radio is teaming up with the Ugly Grouper and several local musicians to host a Hurricane Irma benefit fundraiser that will double as a thank you to first responders who helped get the Island up and running again.

Serving food, beer, wine, liquor and more, the Ugly Grouper is located at 5704 Marina Drive in Holmes Beach, across the street from City Hall.
