Our new feature is an editorial by one of our BeachFront Radio Ambassadors.  

This one is from Craig Guest reporting from the Big Owl Tiki Bar, Kent Narrows, MD on June 2, 2019.

A Brent Burns Performance.

First, let me introduce Brent Burns.  Brent is a seasoned Trop Rock singer/songwriter.
Bent was born in Seminole, Oklahoma, grew up in Phoenix, Arizona, and has lived in Gulf Shoes, Alabama since 1972.  He received the distinguished Purple Heart medal not once but twice while serving his country.  As a display of continuing patriotism, Brent entertained the troops after Sept.11, 2001.

Now, let's look at his musical accomplishments:
2008 - Male Vocalist-Finalist,  CD of the Year-Winner,   Entertainer of the year- Winner,

2009  - Male Vocalist- Finalist,  Entertainer of the year-Finalist
2010  - Male Vocalist- Finalist, Entertainer of the year-Finalist,   CD, Song and Songwriter- WINNER
2011  - Songwriter & Entertainer of the Year- WINNER

IN 2012, Brent wrote a big hit called “Don’t Come Knockin if the Tiki Hut’s Rockin”.
He also wrote “Pain at the Pump” and “Drill, Drill,Drill” to protest the big oil spill on the Gulf Coast, the fuel crisis and greed of  “Big Oil”.  These songs were so popular that they landed Brent TV coverage on CNN.  Then, Brent wrote “Cheaper Crude or No Food”.  This sold 200,000 copies the day it was released.  It also climbed the Billboard charts after Paul Harvey played it three times.

Brent showed his experience and talent with the crowd starting with the unscheduled “Meet & Greet”.  He visited all of the tables and clusters of standing fans introducing himself and telling them that he was so glad that they came.  He set the tone for the concert by starting out by taking off his shoes & opening with “Barefoot Shoes” & “Aloha Betty”.  Then he played a song (“Can’t Get Away from Him”) from his first CD which was released in 1998.

Brent then shared with the crowd that he plays once a week at Lucy Buffett's “Lulu’s”.
He said the food is great there. The Buffett fans in the audience (just a few) applauded.

The food at this Tiki Bar was also great!  The Grouper Fish Tacos were the best!  The waitresses could not have been better or more friendly.  Unfortunately, at Intermission, the sky opened up and emptied buckets of water on us.  My wife & I decided to leave because a drenched Tiki Hut is not our style.  Knowing Brent, though, we think he continued to play to the delight of those who stayed.

On June 8, Brent will play at the Parrot Head Club in Lake Charles, La.  This Fall,  he will start his “Brent Burns Gone Irish Tour”.  Try to see him.  He is a great entertainer. 

Your BeachFront Radio Ambassador, Craig Guest

Hey BeachBums and Parrotheads, Below is a message from Don Middlebrook and his CD Mexico Beach and the fundraiser that he is running to help get Mexico Beach back on its feet.

 

 **** Special announcement. At MOTM this year, through the generosity of our BeachBum fans at our events we raised $1400 to help the Mexico Beach Hurricane Relief effort run by Don Middlebrook. We presented a check to him on Sunday while he was performing at the Conch Republic.

 

From Don . . . .

The Mexico Beach area of the Florida panhandle has been devastated. To help with hurricane recovery efforts, we are donating 100% of the proceeds from downloads of our song "Mexico Beach." (Link below)

This will continue until I walk back through the doors of Mango Marley's. Mango Marley's Mexico Beach gave this song LIFE, and now, this song will do all it can to give LIFE back to Mexico Beach.

PLEASE SHARE with all your friends!
