Legends of Beach is a group composed of eight musicians including four former members of the Beach Music group the Embers.
Lead singer, Jackie Gore is the composer and original lead voice on the beach music classic, "I Love Beach Music". Other former Embers are Gerald Davis, and Johnny Barker, who wrote the beach music classic, "Summertime's Calling Me". Additional musicians are Tony Davis -- drums & vocals, Pat Carpenter -- Guitar and vocals, Eddie Blair -- sax and vocals, and Ben Shaw -- trumpet, along with Steve Davis, former sound technician with the Embers for 25 years. Recently joining the group is Jackie's daughter, Terri Gore Lemonds on lead vocals, well known throughout the Carolinas for her many beach music hits.
The group plays the beach music classics they were known for in the '80's and '90's, as well as some brand new original beach music songs. Johnny Barker has written a new song called "Feels Like the Real Thing" which is destined to be a beach music classic. It is one of the songs featured on their latest CD, "Legends of Beach" which was released at Myrtle Beach SC during Fall SOS 2007, and can now be purchased on this website store page as well as most beach music outlets.
For years people have been wanting to see these guys back on stage performing together, and now it is finally coming to fruition! The public debut of Legends of Beach was at TJ's Night Life in Raleigh NC on August 25 2007. Please check the website calendar to see when Legends of Beach will be performing at a venue near you.
