What is Gulf Coast Summer Fest?
Gulf Coast Summer Fest is an outdoor jazz festival specifically created for Jazz lovers from all over the world and hosted by Morris Baxter and DJ Bam Bam Belonge. Bringing it all together is William “Cadillac” Banks – a local concert promoter who has been in the business since 2007. He began his career booking R&B performers, but since the start of the Gulf Coast Summer Fest Jazz Edition, his focus has been on drawing contemporary smooth jazz artists to the yearly event.
Banks has said people from as far as Canada, England, and Japan come to Pensacola for the music fest.
