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.

Fare Ye Well!

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 selftitled 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 ParadiseThe Musical debuted in New York and received rave reviews. Money is currently working on taking his play to Broadway.

Drivin’ N Cryin I Played Guitar on a Chain Gang or, things you might want to know about my f..... rock band by kevin kinney 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 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 comicreadin’ 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 fair They warned you before you went out there There’s always a chance to get restarted To a new world, new life Scarred 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 I met Tim Nielsen just after I moved to leave high school, get a job in a factory, get Atlanta from Milwaukee.

The Radar Cinema 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 ow n local-boys-done-good, The Train Wrecks offer up raucous and rollicking Amer icana that’s as equally indebted to the traditionalist legacies of A.P. Car ter and Johnny Cash as it is to the for ward-thinking rock & roll of Wilco and Lucero. Local rev iewers have been “blow n away” by the band’s live shows, and the Wrecks have been officially dubbed “ The Hardest Gigg ing 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 fall of 2007. The rev iews rolled in! The Connect dubbed the record “simply a revelation….the kind of simultaneously slick and raw record which Ryan Adams regularly cranks out to much cr itical acclaim”, while Murmur Magazine called it the “best record to come out of Savannah in years”.

This CD was selected by TAXI and the editors of Billboard Magazine to par ticipate in the Disc Makers’ Independent Music World Ser ies Southeast in Atlanta, GA. Of the 2,000 bands/ar tists who submitted an entr y, The Train Wrecks were selected as the best Amer icana band.

In the time 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, Jer r y Jeff Walker, at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens for a sold out crowd of 2000. They were honoured to be inv ited to Waycross, GA, to play at the Annual Gram Parson’s tr ibute concer t and be a par t of his lasting musical legacy.

They have been tour ing reg ionally as well as continuing to expand their amount of or ig inal music. The band is cur rently rehearsing and fine tuning their new music to be featured on their next full length studio release. Throug h their tour ing and recording , The Train Wrecks are climbing to the top one hard hitting live show at a time.

Jason Bible (guitar, voice, harmonica) is an award-w inning singer-songw r iter hailing from Ft. Wor th, TX. Carolina-raised Markus Kuhlmann (drums, voice) and Savannah born Er ic Dunn (elec. bass, upr ig ht bass, voice), and Stuar t Harmening (dobro, banjo, guitar) have played both locally and nationally gaining the attention of any audience they play in front of. All four br ing their ow n unique perspective and talents to the table to create a singular musical v ision, one that they hope to br ing to as many people as possible as they continue to tour tirelessly and passionately. www.thetrainw recksband.com

The League of the Black Flag

Featured Krewe 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. ~ Captain Bob 20

Admirals Krewe

Induction 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.

The Admirals Paul DeVivo - Fleet Admiral Richard Adams Paula DeVivo Carrie Efird Amy Gaster Amanda Jandura Annette Jandura Steve Kellam Stan Hedgecorth Ross Howard Sundi Marino Rob McLellan Susie Morris Charissa Murray Katrina Murray Freda Rutherford Mike Scarbrough Iris Scarbrough Janet Schaaf Joel Solomon Dr. D Tsoulos Lawanna Tsoulos Deb Zackarchuk

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.

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.

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
