FEATURING: "THE CRAIG WOOLARD BAND"Although everyone will hate to see summer end and routines begin again, we have something very exciting to enjoy as we say good-bye to summer and move into fall — ALIVE AFTER FIVE, featuring “THE CRAIG WOOLARD BAND.”
This will be the last of the three events planned by the Chamber for 2009. We hope everyone will plan to join us Thursday evening, September 24 in downtown Oxford from 5:30 until 8:30 p.m. and enjoy the band’s music and their interaction with the crowd.
With the classic style of Ray Charles, the dynamics of Marvin Gaye and Rod Stewart, the Soul of James Brown, the vocal prowess of Steve Perry of Journey, combined with the passion of Sam Cook and Michael McDonald, you have “The Soul Man of Beach Music,” Craig Woolard.
As the ambassador of beach music, Woolard has enjoyed a stellar career as the front man of one of Carolina’s premiere bands, The Embers. After 27 years with his former group, Woolard has taken on a new persona in what is claimed to be the south’s number one beach music, R&B, Top 40, Motown, 70’s and 80’s and rock and roll party band . . . Craig Woolard is The Real Thing!
The Craig Woolard Band wows their audience with one of the most diverse repertories and original crowd participation shows in the industry. It is no wonder they have become one of the most highly recommended and sought-after bands for weddings, private and corporate events, concerts and festivals in the southeastern United States.
Woolard’s classy and riveting stage presence offers audiences non-stop entertainment. With his distinctive vocal style, he continually delivers the tunes just the way the crowd loves them. And what soul! You WILL be amazed at this man!
As for Woolard’s new band, The Craig Woolard Band, they are the “hottest band this side of the Mississippi!” Their first year out in 2005, they were honored as “Group of the Year”, while Craig walked away with Entertainer of the Year, Male Vocalist, Best Smoothie Song and Song of the Year. Their arrangements are exciting and ever so danceable. And of course, one may think“the shag” and “beach music” were invented just for them.
But what really separates the CWB from other Carolina-based “beach” groups? The phenomenal front man, Craig Woolard. That’s what! Craig is, without a doubt, recognized as one of the finest singer-entertainers to ever hit the stage. Craig constantly works the crowd with his witty personality and powerful voice.
As a hit maker, Craig Woolard has several signature tunes —“What You Do To Me” and “Georgia,” to name a few. He has had FOUR #1 songs — more than any group in this industry. Their CD “Making Waves” went to #1 within weeks of its release. Their #1 hit song “I’ve Got A Feeling” won Song of the Year in 2006. His music and performances continuously amaze the crowds. Not content with performing only Beach Music, Craig recalls the seventies and eighties with all the great dance music
from that era . . . “Brick House,” “Play That Funky Music White Boy,” “Bad MammaJamma,” songs by Chicago, Tower of Power, Jimmy Buffet and many more. He WILL entertain the crowd!Plan to join us September 24, 5:30 until 8:30 p.m. in downtown Oxford’s parking lot for the last Alive After Five of 2009.
The Chamber is very appreciative to the SPONSORS of the three events of 2009. Without their support, these entertaining community events would not be possible.
