[ Comments Off ] Posted on 06.21.10 under Charity work
Jimmy Buffett (with the help of his friends the Zac Brown Band, Kenny Chesney, and Allen Toussaint) has announced that he will play a free concert to benefit the gulf coast oil spill. Jimmy has been monitoring the situation on the coast closely in recent weeks, meeting with politicians, inspecting the coastline, and urging people to not shy away from visiting the region on vacation this summer. The beach-side free concert will take place in Gulf Shores, Alabama on July 1st. CMT will broadcast the show live at 8:00 PM ET for fans viewing pleasure. There should be a lot more details coming forth soon about the benefit concert, but I for one am really excited for the show. Fans will be able to make donations to aid the Gulf Coast while watching their favorite singers perform live.

Jimmy Buffett didn’t plan on opening his new Margaritaville Beach Hotel (estimated cost at $50 million) in Pensacola Beach, Florida with oil washing up on the shores, but the musician/buisnessman still plans to open this summer. The state of Florida is demanding BP pay millions to recoup the huge sum of money the gulf region will lose in the coming months and years due to the terrible spill. Their are plans in place add a water park and Margaritaville restaurant to the resort in the future, but the luxury hotel as is includes 25 deluxe suites and Buffett-approved beach bar. The hotel site isn’t a stranger to diaster. Prior to Margaritaville, a hotel was demolished on that site by Hurricane Ivan in 2004. Buffett walked the coastline with Governor Charlie Crist and told reporters he lamented the enviromental diaster, but urged people to still come down to Gulf Coast to vacation.
