Absolutely Brilliant show. These Guy's Music was big on the UK Northern Soul Scene in the 70s - to date. We all thought that they were Black lol. White men can also sing Blue Eyed Soul too. I do not believe any of the artists who originally recorded the toons would mind them at all borrowing their Clasics. Love the version of the Intruders Cowboys to Girls and so Many more thank you for sharing . I am gonna hook my buddies in the UK to this Fab show. !!!!!!
How many of the original band members are here? I remember Jackie left at one time years ago…did he ever come back? One of the first “beach bands” I ever saw……along with General Johnson and Chairman of the Board…..and others. A fantastic time.
There is only one member of the original Embers in this group, Bobby Tomlinson, co-founder in 1958 with Jackie Gore. Bobby no longer travels and plays with the band. He has been replaced by Wayne Free on drums. Jackie never returned to the group after leaving in 1994. Craig Woolard left the group and formed his own band for several years. He later rejoined The Embers in 2014 and is the current lead singer. Here are the members of this incarnation of The Embers: Bobby Tomlinson, drums, co-founder Craig Woolard, lead vocals, tenor sax Mark Black, tenor sax, lead vocals Gerald Davis, bass, backing vocals Jeff Grimes, guitar, backing vocals Johnny Hopkins, trumpet, valve trombone, rhythm guitar, backing vocals Andy Swindell, keyboards, backing vocals
One of the greatest Bands in the Carolinas if not the entire East Coast. All good friends and still playing.
Awesome performance and quality sound guys. Yep...I love Beach Music... ain't no mistake. wink-wink

What year was this? I've seen them many times! NC & The Embers go hand and hand! Lol...shag dancing you're hand and hand♡
Is it just me or is this band on speed? The tempo is way off. But, the vocalist sound perfect!
Not as good as the original Embers once were.
