Over the years, this music has gone by several names itself, originally being pegged as delta, and the fact that until the mid-fifties very few white musicians played this style of music. But in North and South Carolina the only name that applies is Beach Music. Bobby Tomlinson, Embers co-founder feels that beach music is music with a memory. One week out of the year you go to the beach, you meet a girl, you take her dancing and you hear this music. Jackie Gore, the other Embers co-founder defines beach music's appeal another way.
Beach music has simple lyrics that are easy to sing with.
Simple lyrics with simple melodies and pretty harmonies. With performances ranging from Toronto to Florida and westward to Texas. They have even received offers to play in England, Australia and Korea. The Embers are truly beach music's ambassadors to the world.
