. . . County star Alan Jackson apparently didn’t get tired enough from his gig at the Kiss Country Chili Cookoff Sunday afternoon in Broward. A nightscape spywitness tells me Jackson, a resident of Jupiter Island, motored back north in a limo and hit the stage at the Square Grouper in Jupiter for an impromptu two-hour set. Jackson even invited surprised barflies to sing along on stage. That’s when he wasn’t buying rounds for everybody . . .
. . . Cabaret singer Sylvia McNair will take advantage of her presence in Palm Beach for a slew of concerts at The Colony to sing for the participants of Saturday’s Komen Race for the Cure in West Palm Beach. I’m told the two-time Grammy winner is scheduled to perform at the post-race ceremony. McNair herself is a breast cancer survivor . . .
Nice. Well, good for Alan. Acting like a decent guy and remembering where he lives and the regular people who love him.
[...] – Country music star Alan Jackson plans on moving into his new Jupiter Island home for good, according to this story on the country website The Boot. Jackson, 50, is putting up for sale his mansion in suburban Nashville. Price: $38 million! By the same token, Jackson plans on moving south once his three daughters, Mattie, 18, Alexandra, 15, and Dani, 11, are on their own. “We like living in Florida and we probably will do that when the girls are not living with us anymore,” Jackson said. Jackson has owned an ocean-front property on the southern edge of the Martin County town since 2002. Two years ago, he had the old home leveled. He re-built an 8,000-square-foot Mediterranean-style villa. He moved in earlier this year. Jackson, the mustachioed singer of Chattahoochee, has been known to spent weeks at a time in the area. When he’s not deep-sea fishing, he may hop on the stage of the local honky-tonk bar, The Square Grouper, for an impromptu show. [...]
