Attendees of the First-Ever Food Lion Feeds Night at BayPort “Holiday Lights at the Beach” Presented by Food Lion Donated Nearly 10,000 Meals for Local Families in Need

Food Lion Feeds Night

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA (December 15, 2022) – The Virginia Beach community showed up full of holiday spirit to the first-ever Food Lion Feeds Night at the BayPort Credit Union Holiday Lights at the Beach presented by Food Lion on Sunday, December 11, 2022. Attendees donated nearly 10,000 meals to local families in need through non-perishable food items and monetary donations.

Donations were collected at the entrance to Virginia Beach’s premier light show, which welcomed more than 700 cars to the Boardwalk on Sunday evening. All proceeds will go directly to benefit local families at the Southeastern Virginia and Eastern Shore Food Bank.

“No one should have to face food insecurity, especially during the holidays. Now, because of the generosity of the Virginia Beach community and the support of hundreds of people who came to the Oceanfront on Sunday night to support Food Lion Feeds night, we can provide thousands of meals for local families in need,” said Food Lion Director of Operations William Goings. “Thank you to everyone who donated!”

According to Feed America, food insecurity in 2022 is expected to rise in the region due to a multitude of factors, including COVID-19. The number of individuals experiencing food insecurity is projected to rise to 131,220, an increase of 17% from 2019. The Southeastern Virginia and Eastern Shore Food Bank serves one in six adults and one in four children in the area with the cost of a single meal increasing from $.40 to $.73. The Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation supports programs and events that focus on alleviating food insecurity in the towns and cities where they operate through the donation of product or Food Lion gift Cards.

Bayport Credit Union Holiday Lights at the Beach presented by Food Lion is open nightly through January 1, 2023. For more information or to purchase a ticket in advance, go to https://beacheventsvb.com.

NEW OCEANFRONT CONCERT SERIES FEATURES NATIONAL BANDS IN AUGUST 2021

NEW OCEANFRONT CONCERT SERIES FEATURES NATIONAL BANDS IN AUGUST 2021
Free Shows at Oceanfront Parks

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va.— The City Of Virginia Beach and Beach Events presents The New Oceanfront Concert Series with over a dozen national recording artists this summer. The free shows will take place at 17th or 24th Street parks at the Oceanfront.

August acts confirmed for the series include:
• Trevor Hall with Cas Haley – August 4 – 24th Street Park
• Soul Asylum with Juliana Hatfield– August 11 – 17th Street Park
• Pablo Cruise with Firefall– August 18 – 24th Street Park
• Matt Stell with Tim Montana – August 25 – 17th Street Park

Trevor Hall – Raised on an island in South Carolina, singer/songwriter Trevor Hall realized at a young age that music was more than just a passion – it was his life’s art. At sixteen, he recorded his first album. Shortly after, Hall left South Carolina for Idyllwild Arts Academy in California where he studied classical guitar and was introduced to the practices of yoga and meditation, which would greatly influence his life and his music.

Hall’s music, a blend of roots and folk music with touches of electronic elements, is imbued with a deep love of Eastern Mysticism. This powerful symbiosis fostered a deep connectivity with his growing fan base and Trevor quickly matured into a leader of the burgeoning conscious musical community.

Soul Asylum Soul – Soul Asylum initially formed in the early ’80s under the name Loud Fast Rules when vocalist/guitarist Dave Pirner was still in high school with friends Dan Murphy and Karl Mueller, and became part of the celebrated Minneapolis local music scene alongside fellow indie bands the Replacements and Hüsker Dü. This success led to the band entering the major-label mainstream with 1988’s Hang Time and its 1990 follow-up, And the Horse They Rode In On, before achieving a commercial breakthrough with 1992’s triple-platinum Grave Dancers Union.

In March of 2020, the band ended their best-selling tour in 15 years, The Dead Letter Tour, with support from Local H. They recently released an acoustic EP of songs from HUAW titled, Born Free. With more than 100 songs performed during weekly livestream sessions, the band are anticipating to be back on the road in 2021. 

Pablo Cruise – From 1975 to 1985 the band toured the United States, Canada and Japan extensively, welcoming fans to “Climb Aboard The Good Ship Pablo Cruise.” Reaching the top 10 with multiple mega hits the band went on to sell several million albums and singles. 

In 2005 a reunited Pablo Cruise picked up where they left off and today the band performs all over the U.S. and Canada and they’re enjoying it more than ever.  Since getting back together, they have released two live CD’s and a DVD, all through Sony Music, documenting their exceptional live shows

“Going out and playing shows these days gives us the opportunity to not only pay tribute to our timeless repertoire, it gives us a chance to see old friends and fans from back in the day, as well as, gaining a whole new audience!” Today Pablo Cruise is bringing more energy and excitement to the stage than ever before. The band has never sounded better!

Matt Stell – With a style that bridges contemporary country and Americana but dips into rock and blues, singer/songwriter Matt Stell began releasing music in the early 2010s after teaching himself guitar while in college. He had a breakthrough with the streaming hit “Prayed for You” in 2018. 

Stell released the album A River Through It on 124 Records in 2013, following it with the single “Country Love Song” in 2015. In the meantime, he opened shows for headliners including Luke Bryan and Eric Church. An offer from Wide Open Music in Nashville, Tennessee led to the release of the single “Prayed for You” and the EP “Everywhere But On” in 2019. “Prayed for You” went viral, amassing over ten million streams across platforms before the end of the year. The album’s title track also garnered attention, charting on the Billboard Hot 100. Another EP, “Better Than That,” arrived in October 2020 and included the song “Look at Me Now.”

All Oceanfront Concert Series shows will start with an opening act at 7:00pm.  Park gates will open 30 minutes before showtime.

Labor Day Weekend Oceanfront Concert Series will include multiple concerts Friday-Sunday with national headliners as well as top local and regional bands.  All shows will be free to the public.

The Oceanfront Concert Series is a reimagined American Music Festival (AMF) spread over the entire season rather than just over Labor Day Weekend.

“The Oceanfront Concert Series is a vehicle for bringing top talent representing many genres of music to our visitors at the Virginia Beach Resort as well as to residents. The setting is beautiful, and best of all, the concerts are free!”  

More concerts will be announced soon for Labor Day Weekend.

OCEANFRONT CONCERT SERIES: FEATURES NATIONAL BANDS. Free Shows at Oceanfront Parks

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 
CONTACT: Mike Hilton 757.615.9833 

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va.— The City of Virginia Beach and Beach Events present The Oceanfront Concert Series with over a dozen national recording artists this summer. The free shows will take place at 17th, 24th or 31st Street parks at the oceanfront. 

The first round of acts confirmed for the Acts already confirmed for the series include: 

Blue Oyster Cult – June 16 – 17th Street Park 
Cracker – June 23 – 17th Street Park 
North Mississippi Allstars – July 7 – 17th Street Park  
Niko Moon – July 14 – 17th Street Park 
Brett Dennen – July 29 – 24th Street Park 

Blue Öyster Cult – Since 1972, Blue Öyster Cult has been traveling the world, bringing their unique take on rock music with them. The band was founded in the late ’60s with members Eric Bloom (vocals, stun guitar), Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser (lead guitar, vocals), Allen Lanier (keyboards, guitar), and rhythm section brothers Joe Bouchard (bass, vocals) and Albert Bouchard (drums, vocals). With relentless touring, Blue Öyster Cult grew their fanbase, and scored their biggest hits with “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” and “Burnin’ for You,” both quintessential rock songs that remain popular to this day. Now nearing their fifth decade, Blue Öyster Cult is still “On Tour Forever,” playing shows to sold-out crowds in the United States and abroad. 

Cracker – Cracker‘s tenth studio effort, the double-album entitled Berkeley To Bakersfield, finds this uniquely American band traversing two different sides of the California landscape – the northern Bay area and further down-state in Bakersfield. Cracker has been described as a lot of things over the years: alt-rock, Americana, insurgent-country, and have even had the terms punk and classic-rock thrown at them. But more than anything Cracker are survivors. Cofounders Lowery and Hickman have been at it for almost a quarter of a century – amassing ten studio albums, multiple gold records, thousands of live performances, hit songs that are still in current radio rotation around the globe (“Low,” “Euro-Trash Girl,” “Get Off This” and “Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out with Me” to name just a few), and a worldwide fan base – that despite the major sea-changes within the music industry – continues to grow each year. 

Niko Moon – Niko Moon is an adventurous artist, writer, and musician with an enduring optimism and a flair for challenging boundaries. That attitude is apparent in his new EP, a judiciously layered synthesis of his Georgia roots, pairing Atlanta-bred hip-hop and rural-fed traditional country, two genres that were considered incompatible not that long ago. The EP will be released later this year, but for a sneak preview, “Good Time” and “Drunk Over You” are available now. Moon’s artful persona is a mix of hooky melodies, shrewd wordplay and edgy, electronic beats. “There’s millions of people that are just like me, who are country people but want their country music to hit,” Moon muses. “I’m a country artist 100%, and I’m going to be a country artist. I just love to feel that hit in the chest, and that’s what I love about the Atlanta thing.”  Moon became a regular collaborator with Zac Brown, credited on five #1 Zac Brown Band hits: “Loving You Easy,” “Homegrown,” “Beautiful Drug” and “Keep Me In Mind” – plus “Heavy Is The Head,” which topped the rock charts with Chris Cornell singing lead. “The only thing I’m really concerned with is: Does it make people feel good? Does it make them feel happy?” he says. “If the songs do that, then I did my job.” 

Brett Dennen – Brett Dennen is telling us to get out and see the world at a time when we need it more than ever. Flame-haired, six-foot-five, and with a singular gift for meditating on life’s most meaningful subjects with equal parts innocence and razor-sharp wit, you know Dennen from his decade-plus career as a singer/songwriter. With a successful string of albums and four Top Ten AAA singles like “Make You Crazy,” “Wild Child,” and 2018’s “Already Gone,” which achieved his highest chart position yet, Dennen has cemented himself as a fixture in American folk music. In 2017, Dennen created the “Lift Series” and “Vacationer Series,” two annual tours wherein he combines shows in ski and beach towns with conservation initiatives and education in each locale. Dennen’s next release, See the World, is due out July 23rd on Mick Music. 

North Mississippi Allstars 
Shake Hands with Shorty made the North Mississippi Allstars one of the most celebrated roots acts around. Over 23 years they’ve released ten studio albums, three of which were nominated for Blues Album of the Year Grammy Awards. More importantly, they’ve played countless shows in front of avid crowds, touring alongside Robert Plant, Patty Griffin, Mavis Staples, and John Hiatt, among many others. Their music is all inclusive: everyone is invited, the bar is always open, and drinks are on the house. 

All shows will start with an opening act at 7:00pm.  Park gates will open 30 minutes before showtime. 

Labor Day Weekend will include multiple concerts Friday-Sunday with national headliners as well as top local and regional bands.  All shows will be free to the public. 

The Oceanfront Concert Series will extend quality musical excitement across the entire summer rather than focus only on one weekend. 

“When AMF was introduced 30 years ago, it was the first outdoor concert in Virginia Beach in decades and the first show of its type held on the sand along the East Coast,” says Beach Events Creative Director Mike Hilton. “Also, very few multi-day music festivals existed anywhere, so we were completely new to most people. Top recording bands loved to perform in the unique open-air beach setting.” 

“The Oceanfront Concert Series will extend quality musical excitement across the entire summer along the boardwalk rather than focus only on one weekend.”  

“No obit is needed for AMF.” Hilton says. “It’s simply evolved into a concert series more suitable for today’s music fans and resort guests.” 

“Many of the world’s foremost bands performed at AMF. That legacy will continue in the new arrangement. Fans will enjoy national bands performing popular music of every style and genre.” 

Many established Beach Events concerts and festivals will continue to be held on the sand such as the Virginia Beach Funk Fest Beach Party and Beach Music Weekend.  

More concerts will be announced soon for July and August, and for Labor Day Weekend.
