Why we're here.

We're Tony Tello and Rob Cepeda, and The Nash Keys is ours: a dueling piano bar and restaurant on the 500 block of Cleveland Street, opened in July 2024, independently owned and not for sale. We came down with a vision for a downtown that others had written off, and we think this town is one of the most beautiful areas in the world.

"I fell in love with it, brought my family down, and I'm raising my two girls here in Clearwater. I invested my whole life, sold my business to do this." That is Tony, a New York restaurateur before this, the founder of MMV, a Clearwater AI company, and the author of The Arrogant Mirror: Words of a Fool.

The idea started with Rob. A New York financial adviser with a condo on Clearwater Beach, he looked at the dark storefronts and saw a room full of people. "You could build a piano bar in the middle of the woods and people would come." He still runs his firm back home, and he wrote Your Journey Goes On: 25 Plus Years of Observations by a Financial Advisor. His good financial decisions are what let him build and invest here.

We're Christians and we're family men, and we stand up for what we believe, in Clearwater and beyond, to make a better world for our kids and for everyone's. There have been struggles and delays along the way, but we don't give up, and we're here to support the community.

The verse over our door is Matthew 5:14: "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid." That is how we see this town.
