The following email was sent out concerning the 2020 Carolina Beach Music Awards. Covid-19 / The 2020 CBMA & Renewing
Your CBMA Membership!!
We here at CBMA are keeping a close eye on the Covid-19 situation and hope and pray that this pandemic will end soon and we can all get back to the Live Carolina Beach & Shag Music we love so much!!
Please support your local businesses that are struggling to stay afloat and make sure that when the time comes to patronize those establishments that keep our music and dance alive.
Hopefully soon, we'll all be walking through the doors of Fat Harold's, Hoto's, The Galleon, Deckerz, Ducks, The Pavilion and The OD Arcade and all the other establishments that play our music.
A BIG THANK YOU to all the DJ's and Artists for keeping us entertained during this crisis on the radio, online and Facebook!!
As of right now, everything is staying "as is" as far as dates for the 2020 CBMA Nominating, Voting and Weekend. That could change in the coming weeks and months as we still have some time to make plans if needed. We have already started looking at new dates if we have to postpone or change the way we normally do the event.
The Carolina Beach Music 2020 Hall Of Fame Class will be announced next Friday on April 24th which would have been the last Friday of Spring SOS as we normally do. Join myself along with Mike Worley live from Noon until 2 pm on 94.9 The Surf and streaming live on 949thesurf.com to see who will be inducted into the CBMA Hall of Fame on Friday November 13th, 2020.
We understand times are tough but if you are able to renew your membership at this time, Please do so.

If you've ever been to the Virginia Beach oceanfront during the Beach Music events, Travis Thereault is certainly no stranger. Travis is a local celebrity in Virginia Beach and can be found hanging out with the bands and bringing them on stage throughout the Summer. When local Fire Captain Bill Roestenberg heard Travis' new bike was stolen he "jumped into action". You can watch the story below from WTKR. We also included a few more stories of Travis that were previously featured on the station.  Saturday, March 28 2020
We've launched a brand new website for Flip Flop Live Radio! We put together the first Flip Flop Live Radio show last weekend to give everyone something a little different on a Saturday night with the ability to have a live request show. Due to the overwhelming messages and emails we've received to continue the show, we've decided to move forward with FFL Radio. This is something we've wanted to do for quite some time and with your support and with the tremendous support from our title sponsors "Hite's Clothing and Skelton Speed Shop, we're staying on the air. We'll continue with our "Saturday Night House Party" and we'll branch out with more shows with a few surprises PLUS we're looking to move into a twenty-four hour format. More content will be added to our new website as we grow and our original "Flip Flop Live" website will remain geared to the Beach Music community. Also we're working on something GREAT that will be released shortly for all of the beach fans! Be sure to tune in tonight from 7:00-11:00 with your host, DJ Andy Lucy by visiting our NEW WEBSITE and you'll have the ability to join our chat with the other listeners, request your songs and hang out for the Saturday Night House Party. You can request everything from Beach, Blues, Boogie, Country, R&B along with Classic and Southern Rock. This show is tailored to play the current and classic hits making it a party for everyone. Relax on the porch, pop open a cold beverage of choice and forget the craziness happening in the world for a few hours.  Wednesday, March 25 2020
Like we've always said, there's no other community like the Beach Music community. So many people have been affected in just the past few weeks and we have a long ways to go according to the health professionals. So many have come up with unique ways to keep the music alive and one special feature has been the artists and bands going live from home and we've included them for you below with more to come. If you know of someone that's not included, please let us know and we'll be sure to add them.
