Gulf Coast 2025
After years on the road, Jabus has found a new home for resident shows this Summer.
The Gulf Coast in Summer is rich with both venues and music lovers. Not unlike those vacationing from all over the country, Jabus was seeking an escape to lush sun-soaked beaches and happy glowing people to perform for. Well boy howdy did he find it on the Emerald Coast of Florida, with weekly resident gigs at some of the most iconic venues in Destin, Fort Walton, and Scenic 30A.
Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville ™
Destin, Florida
Sundays and Mondays from 2pm-5pm
About the Venue: When it comes to beach music, Jimmy Buffett literally wrote the book. After that, he started a wildly successful series of restaurants dedicated to that state of mind only good music, good eatin’, and warm white sand can evoke. At Margaritaville, the beach the soul and live music its heart.
About the show: Come enjoy a mix of Jimmy’s timeless classics and Jabus’ original music, every Sunday and Monday of Summer 2025 at the iconic Margaritaville on the Destin HarborWalk.
East Pass
Destin, Florida
Mondays and Wednesdays from 7pm-10pm
About the Venue: As the first venue on the coast to book him, East Pass will always hold a special place in Jabus’ heart. With some of the harbor’s most generous bartenders and a diligent team of servers at the ready, you’d be hard pressed to find a better place to enjoy great coastal cooking on the Harbor… and I mean ON the Harbor. You can jam out with Jabus while you watch the boats tie off, every Monday and Wednesday night at East Pass. If you’re hankering for “come as you are” fine dining and live music… East Pass is your place.
About the Show: No frills night of great food and original music. .Jabus leans hard into his hearty ballads and original knee slappin style for a night on the Harbor you won’t forget.
Sound Side
Fort Walton Beach, Florida
Saturday Aug 30th
About the Venue: The Emerald Coast is home to an eclectic mix of different venues. Some places are massive buildings with cavernous rooms and enormous stages, others are charming local dives with stages made of pallet wood. However, with its epic 16,000 sqft waterfront courtyard, and nightly campfires by the tiki bar, the newly minted Soundside is in a league all it’s own. If bigger is better, then Soundside is potentially the best venue Fort Walton has to offer.
About the Show: Jabus makes fast friends with fellow musicians and loves to collaborate with local artists and touring pros as much as humanly possible. Jabus and Friends is his chance to showcase the talents of someone other than himself, and introduce his beloved fans to their next favorite player. This ain’t no solo show, Jabus is calling in the cavalry.
