This Friday, August 31st, come enjoy a free concert with Legends of the Beach at the nearby Ocean Isle Beach Concert Series.
Legends of Beach is a musical experience you will not want to miss, that is, of course, if you like Beach Music. That’s because some of the group’s members are, in large part, responsible for the sound and appeal Beach Music has today all over the world. It’s all about having a good time and remembering the good old days as well as the recent days at the beach. The term “Beach Music”, a common phrase all over the Southeastern United States, was not the everyday terminology back when LOB keyboardist/vocalist/producer, Johnny Barker wrote the classic hit, “Summertime’s Callin’ Me” in 1975. You know that song as a standard as well as the Beach Music Anthem, “I Love Beach Music” written and sung by LOB lead vocalist and Embers’ co-founder, Jackie Gore.
Rounding out this group on the bottom end is bassist/vocalist, Gerald Davis, also known for his work in the 60s & 70s in Southern California with Al Wilson, Sammy Hagar, and Marvin Gaye. Thankfully Gerald moved back home to the Carolinas in the mid 70s and joined The Embers where he and Barker, who joined The Embers in 1980, produced numerous albums, such as: “This One’s For You”, “I Love Beach Music”, “Colours”, and many others, not to mention numerous national Budweiser commercials. Remember “I Love Budweiser?” Yep, that one. Other talented members of this musical family include vocalist – Terri Gore, guitarist/vocalist – Pat Carpenter, trumpet – Ben Shaw, sax and vocals – Eddie Blair, drums – Tony Davis (alias Ernest T Bass), and sound engineer Steve Davis. If you want to hear Beach Music like it’s supposed to sound, don’t miss Legends of Beach.
Refreshments are on sale to help fund the events, so be sure to bring a little of cash.
