Who’s Who

Once a jazz musician who could melt a room with his soulful saxophone sounds, Otis Graves played for packed lounges up and down the coast.

Offstage, he was gentle, funny, and a soft touch for any stray — dogs, cats, or broken souls alike. But when his muse, Lilith Marlowe, found love in another, the music dimmed.

Now, Otis spends his afterlife at The Creepy Coconut, “nursing” a drink, petting any ghostly critters that wander by, and playing mellow tunes for whoever’s listening. He’s not bitter — just a little blue, in the sweetest kind of way.
