Deep within the heart land of Americana lies something so real, so true, so roots that only a number of us fortunate enough have had the blessing to come across in our life times. How often can one find themselves sitting on a bar stool with one leg in Florida and one leg in Alabama? Meanwhile, the yuppie on your left is discussing Hank, while the Hell’s Angel on your right is forecasting upcoming economic trends?

Sound surreal????? - only if you’ve never experienced the FloraBama. Nestled in the dunes of Perdido Key, FL lies a jewel of a bar that has made its landmark to those of us fortunate enough to enjoy its beauty. All senses aside, there is a feeling, an aura, an inescapable beauty of a time, place, and lifestyle that is often times forgotten in modern society.

Come take a ride with us as we explore a true season of the surreal. What began in April at the 20th annual Mullet Toss Festival has since culminated through Hurricane Ivan and the 20th annual International Frank Brown Songwriter’s Festival. We’ve lived, breathed, and drank the lifestyle that comprises the artistic essence of the day. Come join us as we capture our modern beatniks in a lifestyle that defies modern capitalism. Come join us as we attempt to capture the love, the leisure, and the lifestyle in The Last American Roadhouse.

Joe Gilchrist - Executive Producer
Joe Gilchrist was born in Birmingham, AL during WWII. Being the youngest of three brothers, the majority of his childhood was spent in Pensacola in the 1950's. After graduating from Auburn University in 1965, he spent five years teaching high school beginning in Pensacola and ending in Los Angeles. In April of 1978, Joe purchased the Flora-Bama Lounge and has since presided over the business as it has become a landmark in the region. Joe is a founding member of the Alabama Gulf Coast Chamber of Commerce and the Perdido Key, FL chamber. Joe's greatest wish is that people who have come to the area in recent years would not only contribute their fair share to the area, but would not forget the combination of characters who have been and will remain the real founders of this magic place to which he's devoted the last 26 years.

Alan Brockman - Executive Producer
Alan Brockman was born in Monroe, LA and has spent many a moon and many a dollar in the age-old Flora-Bama. After graduating from LSU's undergraduate and Tulane University's graduate programs, he and his wife moved to Atlanta, GA. He spent six months in corporate America then set his site on the 20th Annual Mullet Toss Festival to be held in April '04. Looking over the Atlanta skyline and yearning to leave the city for the upcoming escapade, he and his wife Caroline decided that the Mullet Toss should not just be something to visit - instead, it should be something to document. After engaging the help of Trevor Towle, Spencer Adams, and Joe Gilchrist, they have since embarked on a journey to capture the essence of the Flora-Bama lifestyle. What started with the Mullet Toss has culminated into an adventure that includes a summer of peculiarity, the devastating impact of Hurricane Ivan, and the 20th Annual Frank Brown International Songwriters' Festival. Alan and Caroline currently live in Charlotte, NC where he manages The Last American Roadhouse, LLC and works in investment banking.
