Join three of the areas most beloved singer/songwriters...Ed Shockley, Keith Mack and Cliff Hillis for an intimate "in the round" acoustic original music performance.
ED SHOCKLEY
Ed Shockley's soulful voice and music have been compared to Ke’b Mo, Van Morrison and Levon Helm. With over 50 songs published in his illustrious career, Ed's “Dodge City” (Jack of Diamonds) became an anthem to a generation of music fans in the mid-Atlantic region. After moving to NYC, Ed, along with the band Cries, signed a major recording/publishing contract with RCA Records. During these years Ed played on hundreds of recording sessions, appeared on national TV, and performed as a singer/narrator for TV and radio commercials. Back in Delaware, Vinyl Shockley has been the vehicle for much of Ed’s songwriting through the band’s three CD’s of original music. More recently Ed has been a member of the roots gospel trio, The Reminders, co-writing several songs on their three CD’s. Ed is also a member of the very popular 10 piece Rock and Soul band, The Funsters.
In 2005, Ed received the Rehoboth Beach Jazz Festival’s ninth annual Artz Award, which is presented to a local person who has contributed to furthering and fostering the musical community in the Cape region. The award recognized Ed as “The Ambassador of Music”.
KEITH MACK
Keith Mack is a celebrated guitar player who has backed many of rock's iconic voices for the last thirty years. Having toured and recorded with legends like Paul Young, Joe Cocker and most recently Cyndi Lauper on her world tour, Keith has built one of the most impressive rock 'n' roll resumes around. In the 1980's Keith teamed with one of rock's greatest voices, Patty Smyth and joined the band Scandal. The group went on to produce hits like "Goodbye to You", "Love's Got a Line on You" and the chart topping single and album "The Warrior". Keith and Patty have been working together on new material and plan to be back in the studio this summer. This is coming off Patty’s 2015 Holiday CD that Keith co-produced and co-wrote three of the original songs on the disc. Keith’s solo career saw the release of THE MOMENT in 2014 with nine original tracks. The CD brings Keith's voice to the forefront on every song...from the opening mandolin and hard driving Hammond Organ on "The Secret of Fire", to the ever hopeful power ballad "Kind Word", and the bluesy soul searching track "When Right is Wrong", Keith brings an honest and emotionally charged soulful sound to his debut CD. Keith will be following up THE MOMENT with new music released throughout 2016, with the first single, IF ITS REALLY TRUE, to be released by the summer.
