Jimmy Buffett & Friends- live from the Gulf Coast

I’ve always loved Jimmy Buffett. Â  He wears flip flops around the clock, sings about margaritas, and loves the beach. Â  In fact, he was born and raised on the Gulf Coast of Alabama. Â  And recently I found another reason to love him: the Jimmy Buffett & Friends benefit concert. Â  This free concert is scheduled on July 1, 2010 on the public beach in Gulf Shores, Alabama to promote tourism on the Gulf Coast. Â  Sadly, all tickets were gone within 5-10 minutes but CMT will be broadcasting LIVE from the beach at Gulf Shores, Ala. Buffett and his Coral Reefer Band will be joined in the concert by his friends Sonny Landreth, Zac Brown Band, Kenny Chesney, Jesse Winchester and Allen Toussaint. Â  Although the concert is sold out, I think this would be a fun time to come down to Gulf Shores just for the after-party! Â  Need a place to stay? Â  Click here for Gulf Shores rentals. Â  Organizers hope to present 5 more free concerts to benefit the Gulf Coast.

So badly wish this brown-eyed-girl had tickets!

Wish you were here!
