FEATURING: "THE CRAIG WOOLARD BAND"
It's the first Alive After Five of 2008 and you won't want to miss it! An exciting evening is planned on Thursday, May 8 when THE CRAIG WOOLARD BAND takes the stage to entertain. Craig performed at an earlier event when he was a member of The Embers. This will be the first time that his band has performed for us.
After 27 years singing with The Embers as one of North Carolina's official "Ambassadors of Beach Music", Craig is now on his own! Craig has won many awards with The Embers, and is proud of his tenure with the group as lead singer. A veteran of the music industry since he was 14 years old, Craig has performed for Presidents, governors and ambassadors; appeared on stage with famous groups --- The Four Tops, The Temptations, The Beach Boys, Percy Sledge, Archie Bell and Alabama. His music has been heard from the Caribbean, to New York, to California, Chicago, Atlantic City and as far away as Hawaii and Europe. He is currently working with Petty Enterprises producing a beach music CD to benefit Victory Junction, a camp for seriously ill children, as well as a TV show spotlighting beach music.
His awards from the Carolina Beach Music Awards include: Entertainer of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year (for many years), Producer of the Year, Collaboration of the Year, Song of the Year, Song of the Year. Additionally, Craig is one of the most loved entertainers in beach music today. He will go out of his way to help his many fans
His band's commitment is to give their audience MORE than their money's worth. When you attend a function with Craig as the featured performer, you will be caught up in the fun. Many people can sing, but Craig has a special gift that puts him light years above the rest --- he is a SHOWMAN, and THAT'S the difference. Their audience knows no age boundaries – small children love him; college kids at fraternities and beach music concerts scream for him; the more mature crowd comes away with the sweet memory of that special someone from a lifetime ago.
The chamber is extremely appreciative to the SPONSORS of the three events of 2008. Without their support, these entertaining events which bring our communities together, would never be possible.
