Free concerts everywhere, but here

   June 22, 2010

While Pensacola Beach is dragging its feet on setting up a big-name concert series to help its businesses, both Gulf Shores and Okaloosa County have announced theirs.

“CMT Presents Jimmy Buffett & Friends: Live From the Gulf Coast” is scheduled to broadcast live nationwide on CMT from 7 to 8:30 p.m. July 1 on the public beach in Gulf Shores, Ala., using the same grounds as last month’s Hangout Beach, Music and Arts Festival.

In an effort to draw crowds to Okaloosa County beaches, the Emerald Coast Convention & Visitors Bureau will start a free concert series called “Rock the Beach” this Sunday, June 27. The bureau signed the Doobie Brothers to the 5 p.m. concert last Friday and added Kenny Loggins to the bill Monday night.

I think Robert Rinke and Portofino are going after Kenny G….really? Maybe they will add the Starlight Vocal Band and Juice Newton.

I vote for Green Day…if we have to go with an oldie, make it Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers.
