Who He Is

Planning Your Night
The Wharf Amphitheater sits inside The Wharf complex in Orange Beach, which means the concert crowd shares the property with restaurants, shops and the marina. Traffic along the Canal Road corridor tightens considerably on show nights in July, when the venue crowd stacks on top of ordinary summer beach traffic.
Concertgoers driving in from Gulf Shores, Foley or the Eastern Shore should plan to arrive well ahead of the 7:30 p.m. start, and should expect a slow exit afterward. Mid-July on the Alabama coast also means heat and the real possibility of a pop-up thunderstorm — the amphitheater is an outdoor venue, so checking the forecast before leaving the house is worth the thirty seconds.
