Jazz Pianist at SanRoc Cay

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Beach CITE Studios, located at SanRoc Cay in Orange Beach, Alabama, presents an evening of jazz piano on Friday, August 27.

Al Martin provides jazz piano August 27 in the Listening Room of Beach CITE Studios at SanRoc Cay.

Local legend Al Martin will treat your ears and hearts to a swinging celebration of jazz. Seating is limited in the Listening Room, so reservations for the 7:00 show are encouraged. The affordable $10 donation ($15 at the door) is a great bargain for the professional level of entertainment. But your ticket covers more than a couple of hours of musical pleasure.

Quoting from their literature, Beach CITE “donations are to support the artists and our non-profit organization’s vision to provide art experiences in Orange Beach and for the local community which promote creativity, bring people together, inspire success, and impart positive values.”

They also want the community to know that “If emotions are touched by art or music created at Beach CITE Studios, then we shall have achieved success.”

For reservations or further information, call 251-981-1989 or e-mail info@beachcitestudios.org.

Music in the Courtyard at SanRoc Cay

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

Like so many folks, you are drawn to local bands and solo acts. But you might hit a snag this time of year as you try to convince yourself or your friends to spend a warm, beautiful summer evening indoors. It can result in a tug of war, but SanRoc Cay has solved the problem for you.

The courtyard at SanRoc Cay will be humming with free live music through Saturday night.

SanRoc Cay’s courtyard, with its interesting architecture that includes an elegant staircase, offers a wonderful place to relax— and, on these wonderful evenings, it creates an ideal atmosphere to soak up the sounds of a variety of musicians.

The popular duo of Rick & Leanne will be turning out the tunes on Wednesday, July 28. Thursday night brings the Most Wanted Band, John Joiner takes over the entertainment on Friday evening, and Cowboy Johnson and Friends brings this week’s schedule to a close on Saturday, July 31. Bands will play from 6:30 until 9:30 p.m.

Come early. In fact, spend the day at SanRoc Cay. Admire the boats at the marina, schedule a trip with one of the charter businesses based there, get a little pampering at the day spa, shop in a number of upscale boutiques, and choose from 4 terrific restaurants to delight your tastebuds.

You’ll find SanRoc Cay on Perdido Beach Blvd. (the beach highway) in Orange Beach, west of the Perdido Pass Bridge, approximately 8 miles east of Hwy. 59.

Festival of Musicians on Gulf Coast July 8–12

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

Five full days of a huge variety of bands and solo gigs covering a handful of venues on and near the beach—just $50, or $15 for a one-day pass. Or FREE if you are one of the first to ask for it. (Keep reading to find out how.)

Perform or listen—or both!—at the Festival of Musicians event July 8–12 along the Alabama/Florida Gulf Coast.

But this is more than a series of simultaneous concerts. It’s also a contest! Participating musicians will perform on a series of stages, collecting “kudos” for their performances. The acts collecting the most kudos will be invited to perform on the biggest stages. Folks from the music business world (promoters, producers, etc.) will be there, taking note of crowd favorites. The networking possibilities are endless.

All musicians are invited to take part in this event, whether instrumentalist or vocalist, professional or just getting started, solo or group. Even karaoke singers are welcome! Just bring all equipment necessary for you to do what you do. And merchandise vendors can also take part by renting space to sell their wares.

“Five Days of Peace, Love & Music” can be experienced July 8–12, 2010, along the Alabama/Florida Gulf Coast. See all the details on how to participate as an audience member, performer or vendor by visiting the Festival of Musicians website. You’ll also find a list of performers who have already committed to make this inaugural event a success.

Oh—about those free tickets. When you check in for your stay with Meyer Real Estate, 5-day and 1-day passes are free for the asking, while supplies last. Just let the front desk personnel know how many passes you’d like to have!

WINNER of Hangout Music Fest Weekend!

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

It’s official—we’ve confirmed our winner of The Hangout Music Festival Giveaway!

Excitement is building as the festival approaches! Will you be there?

When he read the e-mail indicating he had won, Robert Sinners—a master’s candidate studying public administration in Columbia, South Carolina—was apprehensive, admitting concern that it might be a joke. But after speaking with Corporate PR Director Sarah Kuzma, he soon realized that the prize was real, and his skepticism turned to excitement.

Robert’s $1,300 prize includes a 3-night stay in a 2-bedroom, gulf-front condominium within walking distance of the festival site. Along with the accommodations, Robert and a guest will be treated to three full days of nearly 60 great bands on the beautiful Alabama coastline.

When he arrives, Robert will be given a disposable camera to capture The Hangout Beach, Music & Arts Festival from his viewpoint. We will share some of those photos with you, so be sure to bookmark or follow Meyer Real Estate on any of our social media outlets (see below).

It’s not too late! You can still be a part of this inaugural music event at the beach. See the lineup of the bands and listen to their music. Purchase your 3-day pass or single-day tickets today at Hangout Music Festival. Then save 25–33% on accommodations when you rent a condo or house through Meyer Real Estate.

Don’t miss your chance to be a part of history at the first Hangout Beach, Music & Arts Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama, during May 14 through 16, 2010!

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!
