Did you catch DJ Andy Lucy's interview during Cammy weekend with Karen Clayton from the Castaways? If you did, we're sure you caught the comment she made about a new upcoming full album from the band. According to Karen they originally planned to release it by the end of 2020 but with everything happening the world with COVID, illnesses and more they decided they will wait until Spring 2021 with talks about releasing it in time for Spring SOS. If you'd like to listen to the entire interview we've included that for you below and as soon as we know anything more on the new music, we'll be sure to update you.

2021 is already looking good! Chairmen of the Board announced on their Facebook page that we can expect new music coming in the new year. In their post (shown below) it stated "New Music from Chairmen Of The Board “Baby You’re the Melody” Written and Produced by UKs Melody Maker Nigel Lowis!!!". We can't wait to hear the new material and we included a copy of their post below.

On Tuesday, November 17, 2020 Wayne Free released a brand new single.

Virtual Cammy Weekend

It seems the hits in 2020 just keep coming as we send our condolences and prayers out to the family of Edgar Sevier Justus, III who was the owner and guitarist of Virginia based band, The Rhondels. The notice was made on the band's Facebook page which states: "I am very saddened to announce that Edgar Sevier Justus III passed away this afternoon from a heart attack. Everything that could be done was done and he fought hard. I'll miss him more than any will know. "

Edgar was a great guy and we enjoyed talking to him anytime we had the opportunity. Once service information has been shared, we'll be sure to update this page with that information. Our thoughts and prayers go out Edgar's family, bandmates and friends.
