Plenty of tailgating and fun at the Carolina Beach Music Awards show at the Alabama Theater as fans eager to see their favorite artists filled the parking lot early in anticipation of the spectacle yet to come.  This was a power-packed evening showcasing the very best singers, songwriters, and musicians on the east coast.  We all had our favorites, some won, some didn’t.  It has been obvious to me, we have too much talent for the number of awards given, a great problem for us to have.  The Association, their staff, and volunteers’ efforts made the 2023 CBMA weekend the best ever.  Thank you!  Click this link for Photos taken.  More to come.

How lucky can a man be.  I had the absolute pleasure today of working with two of O.D. Mafia’s beautiful and super talented photographers.  The bewitching Robin Cloud and the stunning Patsy Heatley allowed me to work along side them in capturing the magnificent beauties that constitutes the group simply entitled “Women of the Beach”.  Each of these dazzling beauties are great solo artists, together their blended talents mesmerize their audiences like the sirens of the sea.  Expect great things to come from these fine artists, individually and collectively.  Click here for the photos taken by Robin and Dan.
