• Group Therapy: Get ready for some musical therapy for your soul as the (pictured) Group Therapy Trio brings their unique, modern, nostalgic sound. This trio boasts three vocal divas, Lisa Christian, Kay Sorrells, and June Hurston – a fusion of experienced and professionally trained singers with a tight and pure three-part harmony. Audiences will love Group Therapy’s one-of-a-kind bluesy style and get carried away on the lyrical journey, as the trio weaves together a tapestry of songs that seamlessly blend familiar favorite tunes with new material that will soon be the songs you simply cannot get out of your head. Included are memorable tunes from the Everly Brothers (“All I Have to Do is Dream”) to the Pistol Annies (“Hell on Heels”) and original songs with a story slipped in between.
• Gulf Shores High School: Some of our very own talented Gulf Shores High School students, Fiona Douglas, Luiza Espinheira, Kate Garner, and Valentina Watts, will perform musical singing acts, including “A Million Dreams” from The Greatest Showman and “All of Me” by John Legend. These talented Gulf Shores High School students will have the opportunity to showcase their skills and perform songs that everyone will love.
• Al and Cathy: Al and Cathy are an acoustic duo that play a variety of classic rock songs from the 60’s to present day with a splash of country. They both play multiple instruments and have been in the music industry most of their lives. Fate brought this Massachusetts man and Alabama woman together, and after moving to the Gulf Coast area from southwestern Florida in 2011, they began their music career in this area. Playing hits from Fleetwood Mac, Jim Croce, Neil Diamond, TLC, Peter Frampton, Johnny Cash, CCR, Jethro Tull, The Eagles, and many more artists, Al and Cathy have something to offer to everyone.
“We are excited to bring this International Day of Music-making to Gulf Shores and encourage everyone to find their inner musician,” said Grant Brown, Recreation & Cultural Affairs Director. “Make Music Day is one way we focus on the importance of the arts and culture in our community.”
