 Live music, food, champagne and yes, fireworks — 2011 is coming in with a bang. If all goes as planned, it is going to be a rockin’ New Year’s Eve Bash along the Gulf Coast.

Spectrum Resorts hopes to kiss 2010 goodbye and welcome in a more hopeful and prosperous new year with a big celebration at The Beach Club.

Included in the $199 per couple cost will be a multi-course dinner, entertainment by The Mulch Brothers, a 24-minute fireworks display, party favors and a champagne toast at midnight.

“We’re looking forward to hosting the hottest New Year’s Eve Celebration on the Gulf Coast,” said Southbeach at The Beach Club Executive Chef Greg Buschmohle. “Our guests will enjoy a four-course dinner from a special New Year’s Eve menu featuring lobster, crab, fresh fish from the Honolulu Fish Company, steak, lamb chops and even wild game.”

From 6-8 p.m., the restaurant will be passing complimentary signature Southbeach hors d’ouevre in the bar for those who want to come early and enjoy a drink before the main event.

“At midnight, we will ring in 2011 with a 24-minute fireworks display, party favors and a champagne toast,” Buschmohle said.

Having opened for bands such as Big & Rich, Shenandoah, Kelly Keagy, Keith Anderson, and Bon Jovi, The Mulch Brothers bring their high-energy style show with tight, unique harmonies to The Beach Club for the New Year’s Eve Blast.

Mark, with his East coast Southern rock style, combined with Nick’s traditional country music flair together provide a sound that recently has Nashville paying attention.

The two recently signed recording agreements with Savannah Music Group and Savannah Records and have been in the studio with producer Dave Gibson preparing their new project Summertime on the Crazy Farm.

Dinner reservations can be made by calling Southbeach at The Beach Club at 251-224-3600. Room reservations can be made by calling 251-224-2500.
