nt e 6 e Se e 1 inme g a l Pa tert edu n h r E Sc fo presented by Gulf Shores, Alabama | October 9-12 official souvenir program table of contents From the Chairman................ 6 Welcome & Festival Schedule.................... 8 about the artist Festival Sponsors................... 9 From Bob Towson: I’ve won poster contests in the past, including The Greater Gulf Coast Arts Festival (2000), and the Pensacola Jazz Fest (2001, 2004). So, I like a challenge and decided to try the Gulf Shores Shrimp Fest (again). As an airbrush artist on the Gulf Coast for 18 years, I was exposed to a lot of various styles and learned to design and paint for the T-shirt. I brought some of that whacky, cartooney influence to this piece. The heavy lines and bold colors, with balloon lettering comes from the 60’s and 70’s when I was coming of age artistically and reading Zap Comix. Album cover art of that era influenced this composition as well. Bob Towson It feels GREAT to win this prestigious (yet very cool) poster competition. I started airbrushing at the Beach Bum in Spring of ‘87 in Gulf Shores, so I feel like I’ve come full circle in some respects. I studied art at Murray St Univ. in western Kentucky before becoming an Illustrator/Draftsman in the Navy, fashion illustrator for Gayfers in Pensacola, advertising artist at the News Journal and starting quite an eclectic freelance art run. My oil painting, THE WOUNDED was juried into America’s Top 100 in 2011 and also published in the University of South Alabama’s “Oracle of Fine Arts Review” that same year. Once again, I am grateful for having my design selected for this year’s poster.

Our growth is a result of great visitors like you! This event showcases a great community of warm and friendly people filled with southern hospitality. The Shrimp Festival committee, which is mostly volunteer, works very hard to provide that environment for your enjoyment. We search for the best local and regional artists, entertainers, retailers, and food vendors. You should find just what you want to eat with dozens of seafood and non-seafood vendors. Our Fine Artists will display beautiful pieces of original work for your enjoyment and purchase.

My S h ri mp F e s t. c o m 17 entertainment Betsy Badwater comes from the Suwannee River.... We’ve heard it told that she was born in the mouth of an alligator, wearing red high-heels and singin’ the blues. She says a lot of things. Whether or not these tales are true, we do know that she is a former 6-12th grade teacher and mental health counselor in residential facilities for adjudicated male youth. Funding cuts for mental health in the state of Florida shut down the facility where she worked for many years. Betsy took losing her job as a sign and turned to her hearts desire to play music and create art as permanent way of life. The same formal education and work ethic that made Betsy successful in her academic and counseling career still serves to keep her unsinkable in her new life. The struggles never had a chance to squash her soul. Brent Burns is not only a local, but the only local artist reaching a national audience with his hit CD “Living the Life Jimmy Buffett Only Wrote About.” Like a hurricane, Brent blew into the Gulf Coast more than 20 years ago and has been causing a stir ever since. Cary Laine & Holli Mosley It is not often you hear a voice that makes you stop in your tracks to listen. When you hear two voices together that cause you to turn your head and drop everything, you’ve found something really special. Two such voices, Cary Laine and Holli Mosley, are teaming up and hitting the road for what is sure to be a crazy ride of sharing their musical talents, meeting fans, and making memories Cary Laine was just featured on the current season of NBC’s The Voice where she got a four chair turn and picked Adam Levine as her coach. She was the first contestant out of all six seasons to be invited to sit in the coaches’ chairs as each coach fought hard for her in one of the most entertaining auditions in the show’s history. Holli Mosley is currently a recording artist at FAME Studio and Publishing Co. in Muscle Shoals, AL, the subject of a multiple award winning documentary titled “Muscle Shoals” featuring FAME Studio and all of the musicians and producers that work there. Both of these Alabama girls are incredibly talented, and the two together on stage is a special kind of magic and Southern sass that you can’t miss. Christina Christian is a singer songwriter originally from Foley, AL. Her music can be described as “indie country”.... That folky alternative sound with a flare of old school country. Christina has been performing in the Southeast for the past three years, giving her opportunities to open for Maggie Rose, Jana Kramer, Cassadee Pope, The Henningsons, and Tyler Farr. Growing up in such a music affiliated area on the Gulf Coast, Christian has honed her craft of songwriting and performing through guidance from fellow musicians. Christian has been living in Music City for the passed few months paying dues and establishing her name in that crazy town. They call her a “responsible free spirit.” David Chastang Growing up the son of a minister, David Chastang started singing on stage at a very early age.

When Dr. Zarr’s Amazing Funk Monster is playing, there’s no way you can resist the dance floor! From disco to 80s New Wave, these guys are an energetic, fun, and professional party band. Dustin Lynch occupies a unique place in today’s country music. Thanks to his classic sensibilities, he’s been heralded as the heir to George Strait’s throne. Yet with one listen to his newest hit, “Where It’s At,” it’s obvious the young Tennessean knows how to combine his traditional influences with an edgy intensity that places him at the vanguard of today’s contemporary country scene.It’s that ability to fuse his country roots with a progressive musical vision that makes Lynch one of today’s most successful young artists. His self-titled Broken Bow Records debut hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and the lead single, “Cowboys and Angels,” exceeded platinum sales status while earning Lynch a legion of devoted fans. His follow up single, the sexy up tempo “She Cranks My Tractor,” became a No. 1 video on GAC’s Top 20 Country Countdown and the accolades continued to pour in, among them Rolling Stone heralding Lynch as “The New Hat in Town” in the magazine’s 2013 Best of Rock issue. Lynch’s career momentum continued as he opened for Keith Urban on his recent Light the Fuse Tour and earned critical praise from American Songwriter, Billboard, Country Weekly, Elle, The Los Angeles Times, People and USA Today, to name a few. Eric Erdman is a storyteller with a life that gives him stories to write songs about. His guitar takes him around the world and he can write four songs from one break up. His lyrics are introspective and deep, often with a hook or punchline that provide the spark in a song or draw listeners in like old friends. His career began as the lead singer of the funk rock band, The Ugli Stick in Mobile, Alabama and they released four albums and performed on three USO tours. In 2012, Erdman recorded his first solo album, “My Brother’s Keepers” that revealed his voice as a singer-songwriter. He regularly tours through Europe and Australia and has won multiple international songwriting awards. He recorded his second album, “Color the Silence,” in Australia in 2013.

The 80s band, 90s rock band has a show that includes 4 great performers, a huge sound and light package and a fantastic front person, Erica Chambers. One great Alabama rock band! For Gregg Fells, music isn’t an option. It’s a calling, a consuming passion that drives him day in and day out and provides an emotional release. Since making a total commitment to bare his soul, and soulfulness, in the intense, melodic and inspiring music that he creates, Gregg has been making serious waves in a short time along the Gulf Coast areas of Alabama and Florida.

Harrison McInnis Trio Harrison McInnis, noted protege of coastal blues legend Hank Becker, gained widespread guitarist sideman acclaim playing what Hank taught him: “PLAY FROM THE HEART WITH HEART”. As a wordsmith and vocalist this same approach defines him, his music, and his rare ability to communicate emotion.The rhythm section of Edward (ZULU) Howard drums, and David (BUZZINCUZZIN) Moody bass, provide THMH with the gospel-R&B-Southern-Soul power background of Zulu and the space-n-taste Buzzincuzzin developed over decades in songwriter acts.

Parmalee From this tiny town that’s home to a gas station, two blinking yellow lights, and a small tin-roofed barn dubbed Studio B, country rockers Parmalee launched their long journey to Nashville. The near-fatal robbery Parmalee experienced after a show would have destroyed most bands. But brothers Matt and Scott Thomas, cousin Barry Knox and longtime friend Josh McSwain didn’t call it quits. Instead it reinforced their intense motivation and dedication to one another and to their determination to succeed. Each obstacle that delayed Parmalee’s arrival to Nashville was an extra mile that allowed the groundbreaking sounds of artists like Jason Aldean and Eric Church to pave the way for the worlds of country radio and Parmalee’s brand of country music to meet at the perfect crossroad.

Summerlyn may be young but her voice has the maturity and depth that pair well with her artistic songwriting abilities. Summerlyn has been featured on numerous Texaco Country Showdown events, opened for the Robertson Family of Duck Dynasty, performed at Nashville’s legendary Bluebird Cafe and entertained thousands of people across the Southeast. Summerlyn is currently gearing up for the release of her forthcoming E.P. on Dixie Dust Records coming in August of 2014. 34 2014 Shr im p Fest iva l entertainment The Chee-Weez are a 5 piece cover/show band that specialize in making sure YOU- the audience- have a great time and leave with a smile.

Willie Sugarcapps Featuring Will Kimbrough, Sugarcane Jane, Grayson Capps & Corky Hughes. Way down in lower Alabama, almost every weekend for the past two years, folks have been coming together for a music gathering called The Frog Pond at Blue Moon Farm. One part house concert, one part Levon Helm’s Midnight Ramble, the affair has hosted some of the country’s finest songwriters, pickers, bluesman and troubadours ranging from Mary Gauthier to Alvin Youngblood Hart, Malcolm Holcombe to Randall Bramblett, Sergio Webb to George Porter, Jr. It was here that frequent encounters between reoccurring artists—Grayson Capps, Will Kimbrough, Corky Hughes and the duo Sugarcane Jane featuring Savana Lee and Anthony Crawford—led to the birth of a band, the aptly named Willie Sugarcapps. At first it was simply songwriter-in-the-round and jam session-styled collaborations, but it quickly grew to become something more. There was chemistry between the five distinct musicians that inspired a repertoire of songs demanding to be documented. Band members often take turns singing lead as they switch up between fiddle, banjo, mandolin, lap steel, bass and even ukulele. 36 2014 Shr im p Fest iva l souvenirs 43rd Annual National Shrimp Festival 2014 Official Souvenirs Stop by the souvenir booths for your official festival merchandise!
