Some nights in Port Aransas just have a particular pull — cold beer, wood-fired pizza, and a live performer who knows how to hold a room. Brad Ethridge takes the stage at The Gaff, a laid-back inside-outside spot where the music drifts out into the warm evening air and nobody's in any hurry to leave. It's the kind of show that settles into you slowly, the way a good coastal night does.
After the last song fades, Beached Inn is just a short walk back through the salt air — porch lights on, the Gulf breeze doing its thing, and the whole evening still warm around you.
