EscapE thE ORDINaRY - If ONLY fOR a WEEKEND . . .The Tybee Island Pirate Fest began in 2005 with a small handful of individuals that were looking for a unique event to help boost visitation to the island in the off-season months. The first year was even more successful than the organizers, a non-profit called Tybeefest, even imagined it could be. With the support of many dedicated volunteers, The City of Tybee Island and its elected officials, the Tybee Island Tourism Council, and local businesses the event has grown in popularity each year.This years event is expected to be the biggest yet thanks to the sponsorships received and the small admission fee. The festival will be headlined by Drivin N Cryin and Eddie Money. There will be even more activities for families, and an amazing 10,000 sq. ft. tent under which the bands will play -- making this year’s event truly rain or shine. The festival grounds will encompass the entirety of the renovated South Beach Parking Lot by the Tybee Pier from Tybrisa Street to 18th Street. Of course, in its third year, this publication is again full of everything you need to know about the event. We hope that you find it useful and support the many Tybee Island businesses found inside.

EDDIE MONEY

In the late 1960’s, the young Long Island, NY native left the comforts of suburbia and headed to San Francisco to pursue his dreams of becoming a rock star. In the early 1970’s, Eddie hooked up with legendary promoter Bill Graham; and exploded onto the music scene.

In 1977, Money released his self-titled debut record and struck Double Platinum with hits such as: “Baby Hold On” and “Two Tickets To Paradise.” His follow-up album, Life For The Taking was released in 1978 and reached Platinum status again. In 1982, The Money Man topped the charts numerous times with singles

“Shakin,” “Think I’m In Love” and “Take A Little Bit.”

With another Platinum record under his belt and the introduction of M-TV and the music video, Money’s over the top narrative videos made him a household name. In 1986, Eddie Money’s duet with Ronnie Spector, “Take Me Home Tonight” reached number 4 on the Billboard Top 100.

With over 28 million records sold worldwide, Eddie Money’s trademark raspy husky voice is easily recognized today. His most recent release, “Gimme Some Water” featured Vince Gill and was a top download in 2008.

In June 2009, Eddie Money’s musical autobiography, Two Tickets To Paradise- The Musical debuted in New York and received rave reviews. Money is currently working on taking his play to Broadway.

Eddie Money is an active supporter of many charities including The Elizabeth Glazer Pediatric Aids Foundation. Money donates a portion of his merchandise proceeds to them annually and has been an important donor for over 10 years.

I wanted to be in a band that would be unafraid of changing genres, mostly because I’m easily distracted and change subjects mid-sentence. “Needs help with self control,” read every report card after fifth grade…smartass…underground comic-readin’ journalistic wannabe…too lazy to write a complete story…I settled on the song format…it’s perfect…a short poem…with its own soundtrack. At 24, I wrote:

“Nobody said it would be fairThey warned you before you went out thereThere’s always a chance to get restartedTo a new world, new lifeScarred but smarter”

At that time, I had restarted myself. I come from an industrial land of things that used to be: Milwaukee, Wisconsin, class of 79…a town, back then, that encouraged you to leave high school, get a job in a factory, get injured and then get workers compensation while picking up a side job at a liquor store or record shop where you got paid under the table.

Great American Bubble Factory is the perfect crescendo to a long twenty-plus year career of Drivin’ N’ Cryin’. I think we’ve found the true essence of what we started to build back in 1985. It’s the truth as we see it set to a soundtrack fueled by music we love, everyone from The Ramones, The Clash, The Seeds, Iggy, Dylan, Patti Smith Group, R.E.M., Thin Lizzy, The Rolling Stones. You get the point.

The song title for “(Whatever Happened to the) Great American Bubble Factory?” hit me one afternoon when I was at the dollar store getting some bubbles for the neighbourhood kids. As I was standing in line, I looked down at the “made in” label and noticed that those bubbles were made in China….China!! That’s a long way for a bottle of freakin’ soap to travel. Come on, maybe we can’t make TVs or refrigerators or cars here anymore, but bubbles?

In my world, the first step to a renewed America and our deliverance from an unspeakable disrespect of the American workforce would be the opening of THE GREAT AMERICAN BUBBLE FACTORY. They would come from miles around to see the Willie Wonka of the New Deal….There’s hope again!!! If you can make it here, why don’t you make it here…

We started demos for this record back in 2001 on September 10th. The next day the

world was upside down and traitors were everywhere, underneath every coffee cup. Joe McCarthy was back and I just didn’t feel like I was ready to tell the story of the blue-collared optimist…

“She said, ‘Son, you’re dreamin’Well, ma, if I’m dreamin’Just don’t you wake me”

This record weaves in and out of the “Midwestern Blues” to the Flannery O’Connor South of “This Town” to the industrial grind of “Detroit City” to the optimistic anthem (and Dictators cover!!) “I Stand Tall” to the

Drivin’ N’ Cryin’Great American Bubble Factory (Vintage Earth Music)Release date: September 29, 2009“We are a band that’s like your record collection.”–That’s a quote from me in one of the first articles ever written about Drivin’ N’ Cryin’ back in the Eighties.

We released our first album Scarred But Smarter in 1986 on 688 Records. 688 was the center of the underground Atlanta rock scene in the 1980’s. Bands as diverse as Hüsker Dü, Rank and File, Lords of the New Church, The Residents and a week-long stint by Iggy Pop graced the hallowed walls of that now-defunct night club. If you drive down Spring Street today, there’s just a doc-in-a-box where the punk rock club used to be.

I met Tim Nielsen just after I moved to Atlanta from Milwaukee. One night I was playing in a pickup band with Die Kreuzen, my good friends from back home (Check out their Touch and Go records produced by Butch Vig). They were staying on my floor, just passing through on tour. We played a lot of shows together a couple of years back when I was in a punk band called The Prosecutors, so we figured what the f...? Let’s see what happens.

Tim was there that night. He played in the big 688 band, The Nightporters, and was a rock star in Atlanta, especially after The Nightporters opened for The Clash at the Fox Theatre. Tim pulled me aside after the show and asked me if I lived down here. I told him that I had just moved to town and was working at the sewage plant, retired from the music world for good at age 24.

Tim stopped by my apartment one afternoon a couple of weeks later and TOLD me he was gonna find me a band to be in. My music was on the folk side of Dylan at the time but I decided I was up to playing just for the fun of it. He got me practicing with a few guys but it wasn’t really happening, so eventually he decided we’d just start our own damn band.

Tim quit The Nightporters and stole their drummer and we played our first Drivin’ N’ Cryin’ show at 688 in October 1985. A little over a year later, I’m sitting in my living room with an album, a real, freakin’ 12-inch vinyl LP record called Scarred But Smarter.

The Radar Cinema started in Atlanta, GA in 2006 and made its way to Augusta, GA by 2007 in search of musicians of like minds. Will was recruited by Eric and Nick was brought in by Will. A perfect musical match.

After writing and playing a sort of prog rock style for a year and garnering a fan base largely comprised of fellow musicians, it was time for change and The Radar Cinema parted ways with their original vocalist/synth player. In 2009, The Radar Cinema auditioned Jean Paul and Jordan to fill the void and opted to keep them both and became a quintet utilizing theory, philosophy, whales, and a Speak & Spell to create the mis-mash of styles that permeate their music today. Now packed with 120% more awesomeness than ever before, The Radar Cinema might just be the most perfect band to ever grace Hot Springs Dr.


the train Wrecks Savannah, Ga.’s own local-boys-done-good, The Train Wrecks offer up raucous and rol l icking Americana that’s as equal ly indebted to the tradit ionalist legacies of A.P. Carter and Johnny Cash as i t is to the forward-thinking rock & rol l of Wilco and Lucero. Local rev iewers have been “blown away” by the band’s l ive shows, and the Wrecks have been off icial ly dubbed “The Hardest Gigging Band in Savannah”, a testament to the love and dedication they have for their music.

The band recently completed the recording of their debut CD “Whiskey & War”, and released it in the fal l of 2007. The rev iews rol led in! The Connect dubbed the record “simply a revelat ion….the kind of s imultaneously s l ick and raw record which Ryan Adams regularly cranks out to much cr it ical acclaim”, while Murmur Magazine cal led it the “best record to come out of Savannah in years”.

This CD was selected by TAXI and the editors of Bil lboard Magazine to par ticipate in the Disc Makers’ Independent Music World Ser ies Southeast in Atlanta, GA. Of the 2,000 bands/ar t ists who submitted an entr y, The Train Wrecks were selected as the best Americana band.

In the t ime since the band’s inception they have gained rather than lost momentum. Over the summer they played an opening act for Outlaw Countr y Troubadour, Jerr y Jeff Walker, at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens for a sold out crowd of 2000. They were honoured to be invited to Waycross, GA, to play at the Annual Gram Parson’s tr ibute concer t and be a par t of his last ing musical legacy.

They have been touring regional ly as wel l as continuing to expand their amount of or ig inal music. The band is currently rehearsing and f ine tuning their new music to be featured on their next ful l length studio release. Through their touring and recording, The Train Wrecks are cl imbing to the top one hard hitt ing l ive show at a t ime.

The League of the Black Flag is a close knit group of friends who portray pirates in the true spirit of “The Golden Age of Pirates”. Founding

members Tommy Morfoot, Bob Bean and Joseph Davis are used for the skull image featured on their pirate banner. William Buckley and Sasha Katz are the final 2 members of the League added just a couple of years ago. The League has been guests at festivals and conventions all over the southern US including Tybee Island Pirate Festival, St Augustine Pirate Festival, PyrateCon in New Orleans, DragonCon, MegaCon, ChattaCon, ConNooga, Georgia Renaissance Festival, Georgia Independence Day Festival, PiratePalooza, Stone Mountain Chili Cook-off and appearing as dance hosts for pirate parties all over the south. The League dresses in period appropriate garb and carries weapons that are functional. They are all proficient in the safety and care of all the weapons they carry and can demonstrate how to use each and explain how each was used and functions. They also carry actual firing flintlocks and can partner with local authorities to demonstrate their firing and care. We can also provide sword fighting demonstrations and explain the weapons and how they were used in fights and battles.

The League of the Black Flag is one of the most authentic groups you will find, they interact with the public and remain in character through the entire event. They have been known to carry candle lanterns and flags which draw attention to the group as you would expect any top group of reinactors to do. They also break into songs and chats that were the norm for pirates. All in all, they are true pirates. Members of the League have been featured in such publications as Pyrates Magazine, The New York Times, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the History Channel and The Travel Channel and they are also scheduled to appear in a National Geographic Documentary on Pirates and Piracy.

featured Krewe


admirals KreweInduction into the Admirals Krewe of Tybee Fest is earned after serving in a key

organisational role for at least two Pirate Fest events. Tybee Fest, the non-profit, all

volunteer organization which produces Pirate Fest and other events on Tybee Island

would not be sustainable without the hard work and dedication of its volunteers.

Collectively this krewe represents thousands of hours of service to Tybee Fest and

the Pirate Fest. Once achieving the designation of an Admirals Krewe member, the

Admiral retains this title for life and is presented with a

commemorative medal.

At the inaugural Buccaneer Ball in 2008 Ross Howard, then President of Tybee Fest, made the following speech and presented Paul DeVivo with a framed banner from the first Tybee Island Pirate Fest.


The Sand Bar Crew & The Satin Slippers N.Y.B. (MUMMERS) from Philadelphia will once again be marching down Butler Avenue. This year we will be adding Poseidon’s Pirates of Atlantis and our new float that will have plenty of eye catching color with smoke and of course awesome music

to party with. This Year Gisella “G”, Danny “O” & Kiara will be leading the S&B Crew down Butler Avenue and will be handing out all kinds of stuff. You may ask what is a Mummer? Well I will tell you.

Who and What are Mummers?To define them simply, Mummers are costumed entertainers welcoming in the New Year. Some of the earliest mummers date back to early Egypt, pagan Rome and Greece, England, Germany, and France. Historically, Mummery

has influenced customs and perpetuated many interesting traditions. Every nation had its festivals at one time or another, each marked by parades and displays of fanciful costumes. All of these cultures passed along their traditions from generation to generation, and eventually these traditions were brought to America by immigrants. The S&B Crew would like to send special thanks to everyone that helped in getting this show on the road. Our sister crew the Satin Slippers and there families all who helped build the float and get the costumes ready and of course my beautiful wife Gisella who put up with me while I was getting everything together. With that said.Let’s get this parade on the streets and party.
