WAVES: the Sound of Ocean Beach, Volume 1
Come celebrate the first-ever community music compilation: the CD release of WAVES: the Sound of Ocean Beach, Volume 1 Friday, July 17 at the Masonic Center, 1711 Sunset Cliffs Blvd, 92107.
Admission is FREE. Food and beverages by Hodad’s Jr. Catering, Pizza Port, Beach Sweets and others will be available for purchase.
While many cities pride themselves in their music culture, very few communities boast the talent and recourses of Ocean Beach. "OB has 18,000 people living here...about 17,000 of them play music", said record producer Chuck Schiele. "Imagine a community releasing its own record."
Many of the groups featured on the CD will perform live at this event including Blackbirdz, Chi Club, Steve Phillips and the Pescadero Pickers, Bad Science Fiction, Meld, John Miller and the Payback, Coco and Lafe, and more.
The Ocean Beach MainStreet Association produced the project—a CD with music about OB - by OB musicians—as part of the year’s 30th Anniversary celebration of the annual OB Street Fair and Chili Cookoff and 4th of July Fireworks off the OB pier.
Schiele, owner of StudiOB92107.com (a digital recording studio), produced several of the bands, compiled the CD and designed the CD’s artwork and collateral materials.
In addition to the wealth of musical talent, the cover of the WAVES CD features a hauntingly beautiful photo of Ocean Beach - by OB photographer, Jim Grant - a true collaborative community effort.
The WAVES CD will be available for purchase the night of the event, at the OBMA office 1868 Bacon St. #A, San Diego, CA 92107, and at other local businesses in the OB business district.
Please call 619.224.4906 or email obevents@oceanbeachsandiego.com for more information.
