Do you enjoy classic musical hits from the forties, fifties, and sixties? If so, head over to Gulf Shores for a free concert put on by Doug Breau and a five piece jazz band. Breau and other professional performers have teamed up with the city to provide the public free entertainment, "That it's a free concert is always a good thing too, which I think is great. It gives people a chance to kind of get the worries of the day and the economy, if you will, off their minds and just come have some fun", says Breau.

Breau will perform with a five piece jazz band, plus a special vocalist from Tennessee. Breau's Sentimental Journey Show is July 9th at 7pm at The Erie H. Meyer Civic Center. August 13th, Breau performs Showstoppers. For more information on Free Concerts at Gulf Shores Out and In Concert Series call 251.968.1172 or go to www.cityofgulfshores.org
