BIG CROWD

A crowd of people turned out for Brooke Graham’s concert at East Bell Taphouse’s Rocktoberfest on Saturday evening. It was her last home singing gig before the launch of her big Nashville band in Gulf Shores, Alabama, for the 31st annual Jimmy Buffet Festival. This festival is the “Super Bowl” of “Parrotheads” with people coming from all over the world. “This is going to be bittersweet for me since he recently passed away,” Graham said. “This is a very big deal for me to play on this particular stage, and I’m pumped about it!” Playing along with her Saturday evening were Robert Lawhorn on lead guitar, Russell Fischer on drums, Macy Graham on mandolin and Brooke’s father, Ben Graham on bass.
