Already Gone played to a packed house at the Brauntex Theatre in New Braunfels, Texas — just one of the many venues the group consistently fills across the Gulf South region.

Already Gone delivers the Eagles' top hits live on the sand at Camp Margaritaville Crystal Beach, Sept. 26. Real harmonies, no backing tracks. $20 in advance.

Summer doesn't get a better sendoff than this. Five guys, no tracks, the hardest harmonies in rock, and the Gulf going orange behind us. We've been chasing that night since 2006.”— Jay Bourgeois

Some tunes are simple to love but brutal to perform. The Eagles' soaring, layered harmonies rank among the most challenging in rock history — the kind that most tribute acts skip, flatten, or dodge entirely. Already Gone is the exceptional outfit that has done the homework to perform them exactly as intended: live, in the original key, note for note. On Saturday, September 26, they take that to the outdoor stage at Paradise Park — right on the sand at Camp Margaritaville Resort Crystal Beach.

Think of it as summer's final farewell. Late September on the Bolivar Peninsula offers the Gulf Coast at its finest — fewer crowds, finally easing heat, and a beach that feels like it belongs to the locals once more. Sand, Surf, and 70s is designed to close out the season properly: ocean breezes, a sunset over the water, a cold drink in hand, and the greatest California-rock catalog ever created, performed by a band that refuses to cut corners. No prerecorded tracks. No digital gimmicks. No karaoke. Just five seasoned musicians and the pitch-perfect, multi-part harmonies that turned “Take It Easy,” “Desperado,” “Lyin’ Eyes,” and “Hotel California” into legends. Their lead vocalist has an uncanny ability to morph into Don Henley, Glenn Frey, or Joe Walsh mid-show — all balanced with witty stage banter that makes the concert feel like an evening with old friends. Close your eyes and you’ll believe it's the Eagles.

The venue contributes its own magic. Paradise Park spans 150 beachfront acres, and the resort opens the entire day to concertgoers: the License to Chill Pool featuring a 75-foot swim-up bar, a family pool and a separate 21-and-over pool, Fins Bar & Grill, and Parakeet Kid's Park for the youngest attendees. For those who prefer not to drive home afterward, Camp Margaritaville offers RV sites, fully outfitted RV rentals sleeping six, and two-story Surf Bungalows sleeping eight — and every stay reservation includes general-admission concert entry. Book a place to sleep and the show comes included.

“We respect this music too much to fake it,” said Jay Bourgeois, Already Gone's co-founder and bassist. “We’ve put in the work to reproduce it the way it’s supposed to sound — real voices, real instruments, in the original key. Now put that on a beach at sunset, at the tail end of summer, and it’s just about the best Saturday night the Gulf Coast has to offer.”

Already Gone has been honing this craft since 2006, building a Gulf South reputation for selling out venues — including roughly 60 consecutive sold-out shows at Main Street Crossing in Tomball, Texas. The group also writes and records its own original material, most recently on the album These American Dreams.
