0 Comments

 

Amanda was blessed to be the Emcee of the Ocean City Jazz festival June 7 & 8 at North Topsail Beach. The festival raises money for the Ocean City Beach Community, which was the only place African Americans could purchase coastal property in North Carolina.  It featured Jazz artists Julian Vaughn, Warren Wolfe with the John Brown Quintet, Althea Rene and Elan Trotman along with Saturday's acts: The Skip Walker Band featuring Kia Walker, Derrick Gardner  with the John Brown Quintet  and Karen Briggs.
More history....15 years before the Civil Rights Act.In 2009, to celebrate its 60th anniversary, a Fayetteville, NC jazz saxophonist and his accompanists were invited to provide entertainment on the porch of the Community Center. It was enjoyed by all in attendance, bringing in surrounding visitors to Topsail Island, NC and thus, the annual Ocean City Jazz Festival was launched as a vehicle to promote the history of the Ocean City Community. Ocean City has been designated as a historical site on the Jacksonville-Onslow County African American Trail and provides a wonderful 2-day venue for jazz lovers of all ages.
