50's Sock Hop on Ocracoke Kicks Off New CD Release
The new CD Backin' to the '50s - Vol 1 release party will be a '50s Sock Hop held on February 12, 2011 at 7pm at the Ocracoke Community Center. The CD is the
latest release of Outer Bank musicians John Golden and Martin Garrish - an
update of thirteen 1950s rock and roll tunes they felt had influenced their own
music. It was recorded at Soundside Studios on Ocracoke, and Golden
and Garrish are joined on the CD by several local players.
The Sock Hop will feature live dance music by John and Martin, joined by several
other local musicians - Jamie Tunnell, April Trueblood, Gary Mitchell, to
name a few. There will be contests for '50s costumes and trivia, hula hoops,
limbo and dance contests, root beer floats and much more '50s nostalgia.
Ocracoke Childcare will be serving up a sweet treat bakesale. Tickets are $20
per couple and $15 for singles - at the door, with any profits donated to
Ocracoke non-profits. So slick your hair back, put on your poodle skirt and your
dancin' shoes, and come see the Community Center transformed into your old high
school gym for the Sock Hop. It should be a rockin' good time.
