Matthew Jacquette, New to the Scenic 98 Coastal Music Scene!

Matthew Jacquette is new to the Scenic 98 Coastal music scene. When he says he’s only been playing guitar for 9 months before ripping off some incredible riffs, you’ll get caught up in his infectious personality. He's a jokester, for sure, but the high energy and guitar skills he’s honed over the years belie his youthful exuberance.

Parrot Heads in Paradise presents Meeting of the Minds in Gulf Shores

Unless you have been living under a rock, you know what a “Parrot Head” is: a devoted fan of the late singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett, known for his tropical-themed music and associated lifestyle. I knew that Jimmy had a huge fan base, but I was astounded to learn that these folks have conventions where members of Parrot Heads in Paradise, which has around 200 sanctioned clubs with 20,000 members, meet every year in late October and have been doing so for 33 years!

On Stage and in the Classroom with Phil Proctor

Even though he usually leaves his instruments at home, Mr. Proctor's students know he's crazy about music. A big clue is that one of their classroom's walls is filled with artfully arranged posters of rock bands like R.E.M. and Wilco alongside blues greats like Muddy Waters and Little Milton.

Stauter-Built Society and the 2nd Annual Causeway Classic Wooden Boat Show at The Bluegill

This Saturday, October 25, the Bluegill Restaurant on the Mobile Causeway, will host the second annual Causeway Classic Wooden Boat show. Saturday’s show will feature several wooden boats, but mostly Stauter-Built Boats. The idea to host a wooden boat show was conceived last year by Channing Flowers to raise funds for his father, Chan, who was recovering from a debilitating disease called Guillain Barre syndrome. A wooded boat enthusiast himself, Chan is doing much better and has made this year’s show his calling.
