Update Reviving the Spirit of Community at the Gulf Coast Musicians Fundraiser As we approach the Gulf Coast Musicians Medical Fund's annual fundraiser on October 18, 2025, there's palpable excitement in the air. This event, hosted at The Point Restaurant in Perdido Key, is more than a mere concert; it symbolizes the resilience and community spirit of beachgoers and music lovers alike. With ticket prices set at just $10, this is an accessible opportunity for everyone to contribute to a vital cause while enjoying a full day of live performances. Supporting Local Artists in Need The Gulf Coast is a vibrant hub for live music, attracting both visitors and locals to its many engaging venues. For many of these talented musicians, each performance is a lifeline, relying on unpredictable income from tips and venue fees. Webb Dalton, the founder of the Gulf Coast Musicians Medical Fund, saw firsthand the hardships faced by local artists, especially regarding their health care. With his decades of experience commuting between music and law enforcement, Dalton decided to take action after losing friends due to inadequate medical support. Today, the fund proudly assists musicians from Alabama to Louisiana, helping them cover urgent care visits and prescription costs. Their mission is clear: keep the musicians healthy so they can continue to thrive. A Celebration of Music and Local Culture The fundraiser promises a full spectrum of entertainment, featuring local artists and diverse musical genres spread over two stages, all while patrons enjoy delicious food from The Point Restaurant. The event will not only showcase music but also includes arts and crafts exhibits that celebrate the beach culture. The vibrant community atmosphere means attendees can engage with the artists directly, reinforcing the personal connection that makes Gulf Coast music so special. Why You Should Join the Celebration Attending this fundraiser not only allows beachgoers to enjoy fantastic live performances but also supports a fantastic cause. Community participation is vital for the Gulf Coast Musicians Medical Fund, which thrives on donations, and ticket sales funding the support of musicians in need.
