The Embers (featuring Craig Wollard)

In 1958, a couple of enterprising high school boys in Raleigh, NC answered the Soviet challenge of Sputnik by forming a band called The Satellites, playing for school dances and parties. The name soon changed and the popularity of their Rhythm and Blues sound made The Embers a musical institution.
Rhythm and Blues laid the foundation for Soul and the Motown sound, but around here R & B music means Beach Music!
Co-Founder Bobby Tomlinson explains, “One week of the year you go to the beach, meet a girl, take her dancing, and you hear this music. When you hear those songs again, you think of the girl and the fun you had at the beach!”
Join us for a night that will put joy in your step, love in your heart, and Beach Music in your soul!
