Festival Stage To Feature Big Band, Country Tunes The Festival By The Sea band stand will be jumping all day and into the night Saturday with a full schedule of performances climax ing in the ever-popular "Festival Street Dance" from 7:30 to 11:30 p.m. under the bridge. Music for this year's dance will be provided by "Memphis Rain," a Charlotte based five-piece country band with a repertoire that runs the gamut from Garth Brooks and Clint Black to the Eagles and Erie Clap ton. Memphis Rain's Lead singer and songwriter, Joe Kirkpatrick, began his musical career at age nine, when he won the "International Year of the Child" talent show and opened for "Whispering" Bill Anderson. He is currently under contract to the NBC Television Network as a songwriter for daytime dramas. Memphis Rain performs several of Kirkpatrick's original songs. Keyboard player and vocalist Charles Jablow performed in the Cupola Jazz Festival and has played with Jackie Wilson, The Ex citers, The Clovers and The Bel monts. John Smith, on bass and vocals, has been playing since age 19 in numerous bands, including The Devilles, The Feelgood Band, Mink and Dodgin' Bullets. One of his bands was a finalist in the WANS radio "Best of the Upstate" contest. Lead guitarist Tony Flowe has plucked strings for many country bands over the years, including Kenny McLoughlan and the Hired Guns. He has performed at major concerts and once opened for Lee Greenwood. Drummer Scott Craig is a former studio musician from Miami, Fla., where he set the beat for a wide va riety of recordings and commer cials. He has played with numerous groups in the country and variety fields. Included on Memphis Rain's play list are songs by John An derson, Brooks and Dunn, Sawyer Brown, Billy Ray Cyrus, Alan Jackson, Tracy Lawrence, Restless Heart and Dwight Yoakum. The Festival By The Sea enter tainment begins at noon with dance performances by Little Miss Bruns wick County Alita Murray and Tiny Miss Wrightsville Princess Heather Flemming.

At around 2 p.m., the Brunswick Concert Band will take the stage with a variety of brass and wood wind renditions of big band fa vorites, light classical pieces, pop tunes and Dixieland jazz. An all-volunteer ensemble under the baton of conductor Paul Pittenger, the Brunswick Concert Band will have about 20 to 30 members performing compositions written or made famous by such greats as George Gershwin, Hoagie Carmichael and Frank Sinatra. The group also features a band within a band, playing Dixieland favorites that will bring Bourbon Street to Holden Beach with the rollicking sounds of New Orleans jazz. Memphis Rain will take the state at about 7:30 p.m. Several vendors will continue selling food and drink during the street dance festivities. SALES ? RENTALS ?
