Summer Music at Meyer Park 2023 brings toe-tapping tunes all summer long

Posted

Summer is in the air, and soon music will fill Meyer Park as the summer concert series kicks off June 21. The city of Gulf Shores has put together a lineup that is sure to delight and keep your toes tapping all summer long. The free concerts take place at Meyer Park, 400 East 22nd Ave., Gulf Shores and begin at 6 p.m.

The lineup for the 2023 Music at Meyer Park concert series includes:

June 21 – Make Music at Meyer Park featuring Rhonda Hart and Smokey Otis

The Gulf Shores Special Events Team is partnering with the Frank Brown Songwriters and Flora-Bama to present Make Music at Meyer Park. Enjoy musical performances featuring Rhonda Hart and Smokey Otis. Want to join in? Attendees are encouraged to participate in the musical action with egg shakers and tambourines provided. Sassy Bass will be present giving away two ukuleles, and food trucks will be on site.

July 20 – Molly Thomas and The Rare Birds

Molly Thomas has always been a child of the water, and metaphors of flow, movement, tidal change and bodily connection frequently surface in her lyrics. Born in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, Thomas has made her home in and cultivated many of her musical influences from the southern regions of Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee. Thomas' current album, "Honey's Fury," is her first with her touring band The Rare Birds.

Aug. 17 – Johnny Sansone

Johnny Sansone is an American electric blues singer, songwriter, harmonicist, accordionist, guitarist and piano player. His musical career began at the age of 8, and he has been developing his skills ever since. Sansone led the life of an itinerant bluesman, traveling around the country from temporary bases in Colorado, Austin, Florida and Chicago before settling down in New Orleans in 1990. Living in New Orleans brought a swamp rock tinge to his gruff vocals and emotional playing style. In his music, he combines blues, boogie and the front porch Cajun and Zydeco sounds of the Louisiana Bayou Country.

Music at Meyer Park concerts are rain or shine events. In the event of rain, the backup location will be Big Beach Brewery.

Bring your chairs and blankets and come hungry because the Arepa's Food Truck will be on site and the Coastal Alabama Business Chamber will be on site selling beverages for all ages to enjoy. For more information, visit gulfshoresal.gov or call (251) 968-1171.
