Save the North Shore of the Gulf September 1–6

Friday, August 27th, 2010

Six days of entertainment by popular local musicians means three opportunities to join together as a community to benefit ecological programs along our coastal area.

Support Mobile Baykeeper efforts and hear popular local entertainers at SanRoc Cay September 1–3, 2010.

Even volunteer organizations cost money to operate, so Sweetwater Brewing Company, SanRoc Cay Marina & Shops, North Shore Grill and Beach CITE Studios have joined together to raise funds for care of our precious resources.

Wednesday, September 1, 2010 brings LeAnn Creswell & Rick Whaley to the courtyard of SanRoc Cay (Orange Beach, Alabama) from 6:30 to 10:00 p.m.

Thursday evening features The Most Wanted Band and Friends from 6:00 until 9:00, then the action moves inside to the Listening Room at Beach CITE Studios for the Wes Loper Band from 9:00 until midnight

John Joiner begins the Friday evening schedule at 6:00, along with North Shore Grill’s smoked Boston butt take-out sale. At 9:00, move into North Shore Grill to kick it up with Jon Cook & Ryan Baltrop Swamp Music Throwdown.

On Saturday, an all-day tailgate-style part in the Courtyard will be followed by JJ Mack playing 6:30–9:30. At 9:30, The Soul Wig ParTay Band will begin playing in North Shore Grill.

Sunday’s all-day music schedule starts with a gospel brunch with Jody Payne and Cowboy Johnson 11–2, followed by the Knee Deep Band 3–6 and ending with Coconut Radio 6–9.

Lisa Christian kicks off the Monday festivities in the North Shore Grill at 1:00. At 3:00, Paul Killough and Alan Grossman take over the stage, followed by Cowboy Johnson, Jody Payne and Jon Cook at 6:00 until 9:00.

Proceeds from the six-day event will help to sustain the current programs of the Mobile Baykeeper organization, increase awareness and encourage involvement. Locally, more than 4,000 people participate in their activities. One of the many ways for you to be involved is to come enjoy some of the area’s best entertainment and give generously to support the efforts to keep our waters clean and safe.

Free Concert Aug. 12: Great American Classics

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

Versatile vocalist Doug Breau brings the songs you love to the Erie Meyer Civic Center in the next Gulf Shores Out & In presentation.

Free musical entertainment with Doug Breau on Thursday, August 12, at Gulf Shores' Erie Meyer Civic Center.

Doug segues between country & western favorites and popular standards, and talks to a large audience as easily as he would to a few friends in his living room. He loves what he does and truly enjoys sharing his music with all ages. This particular show will highlight music from the 1940s through the 1970s.

Joining Doug on the stage will be Katie Belle, 1991 Female Vocalist winner of an amateur talent contest sponsored by the Country Music Association in northern New England. When Doug and Katie met, they knew they would enjoy working together, so they often appear on each other’s shows.

The indoor concert begins at 7:00 p.m.—and admission is free, so don’t miss it. You’ll find the Civic Center at the corner of W. 19th Ave. and W. 2nd St., just a few blocks northwest of the Hwy. 59/Fort Morgan Rd. intersection.

The last two shows in the 2010 Gulf Shores Out & In series will be August 26, indoors, with The Heltons, and September 9, outdoors, with Brent Burns.

Live Music, Fresh Brews & A Good Cause

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Live music and a good cause seem to go hand-in-hand. So kicking off a month of fund-raising and awareness with two regionally popular musical acts is a great idea—especially when the party is located at a favorite local eatery and sponsored in part by a Southeastern craft brewery!

The fundraising fun begins at "SweetWater 4:20 p.m." on Sunday, August 1 at The Hangout in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Support the Save the Gulf program!

Save the Gulf is a program of the Mobile Baykeepers organization, whose mission is to provide citizens a means to protect the beauty, health and heritage of the Mobile Bay Watershed. By attending any of their fund-raising events, your donation will assist with their hands-on activities and their awareness campaigns.

August 1, 2010, is the first day of the Save the Gulf campaign. Through Labor Day, you are encouraged to participate as often as possible in their efforts and to help spread the word about the work they do to keep our waterways clean and ecologically sound.

The first event will be held at The Hangout in Gulf Shores, so plan to have dinner there while enjoying the performances.

For a donation of only $10, you will be treated to the music of Wes Loper, who combines country, rock, folk, beach and blues styles to make his mark on the music world. His appearance alone would be more than worth the small donation, but with a start time of “SweetWater 4:20 p.m.,” that’s just the first part of the event. Following him is Wet Willie with Jimmy Hall and the Hurricane Horns, cranking up their Southern rock sounds with high energy.

Between songs, be sure to tell the folks from SweetWater Brewing Company how much you appreciate their involvement in this and other environmental programs they support.

Hangout Music Festival Shuttle, Parking and More

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

The Hangout Beach, Music and Arts Festival, May 14–16, 2010, has just announced its plan to make it easier to get to and from the 3-day weekend’s events.

Share rides, use shuttles, ride bikes - just don't miss The Hangout Beach, Music & Arts Festival in Gulf Shores May 14–16, 2010!

For those who wish to drive back and forth from their local accommodations, parking will be available along neighborhood roads and other designated parking areas. But the number of spaces is limited, so be prepared to walk a few blocks to the festival entrance.

A better choice might be to catch one of the three shuttles that will be running from 10:00 a.m. to midnight each of the three festival days. Shuttles will accept $3 cash for each ride, or patrons may purchase a wristband for $10 for unlimited rides. Wristbands may be purchased in advance through The Hangout Music Festival site, at the festival headquarters, or as you board the shuttle.

Or do your part for Mother Earth and help cut back on air and noise pollution by renting a bicycle. The official bike rental company for the festival is Orange Beach Bicycles. When not attending concerts, ride the bike paths and explore some of the area’s beautiful surroundings.

If you’re still not sure how you will get into Gulf Shores from your hometown, and would like to share the experience—as well as money and gasoline—check out Zimride to locate people who are looking for a rider.

Event tickets—including 3-day passes, VIP passes and more—are available through The Hangout Music Festival website. Don’t know all the performers at Hangout Music Fest? We can help!

And now you can extend the fun! For just $20 more ($25 at the door) you can attend the indoor late-night concert Friday night at The Hangout, featuring Alex B, Gift of Gab (Blackalicious) and Big Gigantic.

Make your condo or house reservations through Meyer Real Estate, an official sponsor of the festival, and you can receive a FREE night!
