If you’re looking for a mid-week respite from work, local favorites The Reminders, performing at the Avalon on Wednesday, February 22, should fit the bill nicely.
The music? Americana, with roots in blues, gospel and country. The band ? Ed Shockley, Kevin Short and John Thompson. Individually they’ve written songs recorded by Johnny Cash, Amy Grant, the London Philharmonic, Earl Scruggs, Tom T Hall; recorded and produced over 30 albums covering all styles of music.
Drummer and songwriter Shockley’s band, Jack of Diamonds, was highly popular in the Mid Atlantic region in the ’70’s and ’80’s. He recorded three cds with his blue – eyed soul band, Vinyl Shockley, who were regulars in the Lewes and Rehoboth area, and Andy’s in Chestertown from 2000 through 2006.
