Brent Burns performs at Hogs Breath Saloon

Gulf Coast singer, songwriter and humorist, Brent Burns makes his first appearance at the world famous Hog’s Breath Saloon, at 541 Highway 98 East in Destin this Labor Day weekend, Aug. 29 – 31 from 9 p.m. – midnight.

Based in Gulf Shores, Burns has been all over the national scene this year with his song and video, “Pain At The Pump.”  After the video was posted on You Tube, CNN called Burns and used the video in their special “4 Bucks!  What’s Next?  America’s Fuel Crisis.”  This is Burns’ second time to tap into the American public’s anger over rising fuel costs. No stranger to musical notoriety, Burns burst onto the music scene nationally in 1979 with the second highest debuting single of that year, “Cheaper Crude Or No More Food.”  Paul Harvey played the song three times on his nationally syndicated radio show.  This song was the only song ever played by Harvey. 

Burns is well known to Florida audiences for his seasonal classic, “If It’s Snowbird Season, Why Can’t We Shoot ‘Em?”. The song returns to radio stations along the Gulf coast as the snowbirds make their yearly appearance. Burns’ other radio successes include “I’m Goin’ Ugly Early Tonight” recorded by Nashville recording artist Cledus T. Judd, “FTF (Forget The French),” the Christmas favorite, “Santa’s Gone NASCAR.”

Burns, a decorated veteran, was the first entertainer to perform for troops overseas after the tragedy of 9/11.  A portion of the proceeds from his CD sales go to charitable causes including Habitat for Humanity, the American Cancer Society and the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo. 

Burns continues a busy performance schedule playing over 200 dates this year for corporate events, festivals, concerts and clubs.
