Sunday Night Poolside Reception 7:00 - 9:00 pm: JD Cash
JD CashJD Cash began his career in 1965 singing beach music and rhythm and blues along the beaches of the Carolinas. JD achieved national attention in 1976 with, "Since I Don't Have You," for GRT Records. Shortly after, he became lead vocalist with the great soul bands, "Bob Kuban and the Inmen", whose 1966 recording of, "The Cheater," charted top ten worldwide. JD released several recordings for South Star Records in the early eighties while touring the US with his own show bands. In 1987, JD and Bob Kuban teamed up again to record, "Triple Shot of Rhythm and Blues," which became a beach classic for Ripete Records. In 1999, JD recorded his biggest hit, "Theme from a Summer Place." This song originally appeared on a compilation CD entitled, "The Bad Boys of Beach Music," for EMN Records and won the 2000 Cammy Award for Compilation CD of the year. "Theme from a Summer Place," became a huge southeastern beach & shag hit that charted #1 for 19 consecutive weeks on the Rhythm & Beach Top 40. JD's latest CD is entitled, "Blue Eyes," and features JD with a full orchestra paying tribute to the late, great, Frank Sinatra. The CD includes many of Frank's greatest hits. In 1999, JD was honored at the Cammy Awards with, "The Billy Scott Lifetime Achievement Award," for over thirty years of promoting "Carolina Beach Music." Referred to by many as, "The Sinatra of Beach Music," JD performs as a solo act. He sings his songs using professionally recorded music tracks played through a state of the art sound system. In addition to singing, he acts as the host and the Disc Jockey by spinning your favorite dance music.
