Check out our Pre-Eve line up and what we’ve got coming your way and don’t forget our seating is limited so get your reservation early before we book out completely.  Oh, …. and whatever you do or where ever you go this New Year’s night everyone at the Corkroom wishes you success, safety and happiness on your journey.

We know, we know – you have a lot of places you can go but we’d like to invite you to come to ‘our house’ tonight.

We are already preparing and designing your dinner and overall experience and it’s only December 3rd!

I know Chef Rudy is planning up some mouth watering dishes and who knows it might even include Caviar with a ice cold Vodka chaser!  That sounds pretty good to me!

Whether you’re a local or visitor for the first time the Sunset Corkroom is destination dining all throughout the year and particularly on New Year’s Eve.

We pride ourselves on paying particular attention to the details … you know what they say, the devil is in the details so we make sure you don’t have any hidden oops waiting for you.  We are commited to oo’s and ah’s not oops and sorry.

We want to invite you to consider getting an early reservation as we always sell out and with what we’ve got planned; great food, fantastic music and considerable celebration – you won’t want to miss it.

Be sure to check back from time to time over the next few weeks as we’ll be posting more details about what we’ve got up our sleeve … until then happy travels and happy eating!

It seems that every year this just gets better and better.  And, as one of this years sponsors we’re just so excited to have another week of incredible artists and music … or as I like to say toe-tapping, humming and strumming.

If you weren’t able to make any shows last week we’ve got a terrific lineup starting on Thursday.  You can see our Frank Brown Songwriters Festival Schedule online but remember that we’re selling out fast – our seating is limited – so you’ve got to call us to make sure you can get a seat.

Not only will your ears be tuned in for a treat, but your stomach will rejoice as well.  We’ve got all our local favorites and a couple of surprises up our sleeve so don’t miss out.  This festival comes around just once a year so make sure you, your friends and family are taking advantage of all this amazing talent.

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone this week – locals and out-of-towner’s alike.

If  you’re ready for a night on the town then this Thursday, Friday and Saturday are choice nights.  What could be better than great eats, good drinks and toe-tapping, strumming and humming.  Sounds like a perfect storm of a great night out.

See ya then,

Nj

If you’re new to the area then you’re in for a major treat and if you’re a “local” then you know what I’m talking about.

The One & Only "Mr. Frank"

Frank Brown was a night watchman at the Flora~Bama for 28 years and saw every thing a man could see with that job. Frank was known for his moral values, his personal integrity and incredible character which still endure to this day.

Mr. Frank, as he was known by all, retired at age 91 and was featured on Paul Harvey’s “The Rest of the Story”.Frank was quite the character.  He’d show up to work with a pair of revolvers hanging on his hips as if to say “now don’t you boys be giving anyone any trouble”.  Who say’s Texans are the only gun slinger’s around!

Frank was a philosopher; he knew that happiness comes from wanting what you got and what he got was a lifestyle that kept on giving.  Frank loved his job and the music that came with it and we celebrate that ’cause we’re the same way.Frank was the first guy everyone saw and the last guy everyone said goodnight too.  He worked until he was 91 and he finally headed home when he was 95 years old back in 1988.

Frank never left the ‘Bama though as his spirit lives on and that spirit is celebrated every year with the Frank Brown Songwriters Festival.

Over the next couple of weeks you and everyone along the Gulf Coast has a chance to discover the roots of great music with this celebration of Frank Brown and Songwriters from around the world.

The Sunset Corkroom will be hosting some of the artists so keep an eye out for what’s coming up.  Our first guests come onboard November 11th at 7 pm.

Who’s playing?  That’s for tomorrows post … until then happy strumming and humming.
