Three Good Friends & One Special Guest at the RBTA
Doug James, Keith Mack, Ed Shockley and bassist Dennis Michaels perform at the Rehoboth Beach Theatre of the Arts with a Holiday Twist

If you loved Three Good Friends’ phenomenal show during the Autumn Jazz Fest, make room in your heart for one more as bassist Dennis Michaels joins the dynamic trio Three Good Friends on Friday, December 19th at 8:00 PM at the Rehoboth Beach Theatre of the Arts at 20 Baltimore Avenue.
Natives Shockley, Mack, and James are three of the most well known and accomplished musicians the Cape region has ever produced. All three grew up in the Lewes-Rehoboth area, where they performed locally. Over time, each moved to Manhattan to pursue their musical careers. Sand, however, being in their shoes, they never lost touch with home.

Ed Shockley led his own regionally-successful band, Jack of Diamonds, in the 80’s. They were featured on numerous TV shows - including the first live simulcast by MTV. His song, “Dodge City,” is still a ‘beach anthem’ to a generation of fans. Ed continued his career in New York as a singer and songwriter, scoring several record deals and appearing on stage and singing on numerous television and radio jingles.

Keith Mack was the lead guitarist and songwriter in the popular 80’s band Scandal, with whom he recorded Platinum and Gold Albums. Keith went on to record and tour with many internationally famous acts, including Paul Young and Joe Cocker - his performance with Cocker in Berlin the night the Berlin Wall came down is just one of his career highlights. Incidentally, Scandal is currently touring and soon to release a new CD.

Doug James is a BMI Award-winning song writer. His songs have been recorded by dozens of artists, ranging from Dionne Warwick to Michael Bolton to Barbara Mandrell - including “How Am I Supposed To Live Without You,” the 1990 BMI Song of the Year.

This exciting performance will feature songs written by each member over the span of their careers as well as a few twists on some Holiday favorites. Tickets for this special event are available for $20.
