On its third album, Amore, Roman Street showcases human emotions, especially love, through music. The band mixes some of its original music with its favorite love songs in a style all its own. For a band that never plays a song the same way twice, Roman Street blends its unique style of Gulf Coast jazz with Latin rhythm on non-traditional instruments as they express their emotions on their third, and best, album yet.

Salud!
Welcome to Southern Breeze’s first “Best Bars” issue featuring 49 bars across the Gulf Coast that the Breeze staff and friends feel confident in recommending to our readers (p. 22). Judging by the number of contributors, I think this was one story where the research was too much fun to be considered work! “Southern Brews” on page 40 highlights Gulf Coast beer festivals so mark your calendars and get out and enjoy some suds along with good music, fabulous food, and great weather. This issue’s Cheers column (p. 50) is devoted to Tales of the Cocktail, the spirited celebration in New Orleans that draws folks from around the world in an event that takes place every July and is almost as anticipated as Mardi Gras!
What’s a good beer or cocktail without a good meal? Specifically, barbecue! Our new regular contributor Cary Chow of Mobile’s WALA-TV Fox 10 News has taken on the task of food critic, a job he clearly relishes as you’ll see from his reviews of Gulf Coast barbecue joints on page 54. His tales from the barbecue pit and the amazing recipes and photos featuring okra (p. 58) will definitely get your tummy growling!
The editor’s photo shows me with Doug Robb, the lead singer of Hoobastank, at The Bottling Company in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. In the Spring issue (in Doug’s hand) Hoobastank was featured in a piece about The Soul Kitchen in Mobile as part of our 2009 Hot List. The band was as stoked to be included in Southern Breeze as I was at seeing them perform live again along the Gulf Coast.
Good drinks, good food, and good music…where else would you rather be than on the beautiful Gulf Coast this summer?
