9961 Scenic 30A between Alys Beach & Rosemary Beach
here's the story
An idea was formed and a creative collaboration created during a musical moment at last year's 30A Songwriters Festival. Richard Olivarez, Director of Marketing for festival sponsor Ocean Reef Resorts was at the Vue on 30A in Dune Allen listening to a performance by husband and wife duo Chris and Gileah Taylor. During their set, Richard heard them play a sweet song entitled White Florida Sun. Inspiration struck and now a year later the idea has taken form as a music video for the song, filmed along the beaches of South Walton and around Destin Harbor.
To celebrate the release of the video and to preview an upcoming album by Chris + Gileah, stop by Ocean Reef's 30A office on Saturday, Jan. 18th from 6-9 p. m. at 9961 Scenic 30A between Alys Beach & Rosemary Beach. The free concert will coincide with this year’s 30A Songwriters Festival. Local radio station 102.1 the Wave will be on site doing a live broadcast, there will be free beer and wine, and Alligator Pear will be serving Fusion Mexican-inspired Tortas.
There will be an audio recording of the event and parts of it will be included as an extra feature on the upcoming album release of Chris+ Gileah. Their set will includeWhite Florida Sun in addition to new songs to be featured on an upcoming album and some of the back story behind the creation of their songs.There will also be two other performances by local musicians - Shawn Brown and Jeremy Gibson.
The idea behind hosting a live performance is to connect with locals and visitors in an intimate and unique environment. We are opening up our South Walton office to everyone and hoping to host an authentic and memorable experience. At the same time, we are sharing beautiful music that is inspired by our beaches and the people who live here.
