Fundraising Dance featuring “Full Deck”
A Fundraising Dance sponsored by…Friends of the Museum of the Albemarle,
On Saturday,
June 28 (7 pm – 10 pm) the Friends of the Museum of the Albemarle, Gateway
Bank, TowneBank of Currituck, Pepsi, and Budweiser look forward to presenting
an evening filled with fun, great music, and dancing featuring the ever-popular
local band “Full Deck.” The fundraising dance will take place at the
Museum of the Albemarle
on the J. Wilson Jones, Jr. Festival Portico and Stage and will begin at 7:00
pm. Dress comfortable/casual and come on
out!
“Full Deck” performs a
variety of musical styles including classic rock, blues, soft rock, Motown, a bit of country, as well as
some original music; and features the original four band members of “Goose” that was formed back in the
1970s (Jerry Drew, Lindy Watts, David Lunsford, and Bruce Lamb). After
several years, when life got
in the way and priorities changed, the bandmates went their separate ways,
remaining in touch but placing their joined musical talents temporarily aside.
It was in 1995 that the four original band members
reunited under the new moniker, “Full Deck.” During that
period and over the next fourteen years, several other local talented
musicians, including Jerry White, became a part of the band. Although others came and went, the original
four remained pretty much intact while gaining the exceptionally-talented Chris
Betts. The band performed together over
the next three years as “Full Deck”
and entertained at practically every venue in the area including local
nightclubs, the Potato Festival, Riverspree, private parties, wedding
receptions, fundraisers, and in several Virginia
venues. After a three-year hiatus, those
five bandmates came back together in 2013 with the addition of the much-needed
keyboard talent of Sylvia Berry,
bringing “Full Deck” to their complete
six-member team.
You don’t want to miss this fun
evening and other than brief intermissions, the band will continue to play
through 10 pm. Along with the great
music and dancing, the ticketed event includes light snacks and a CASH BAR that includes Pepsi products, Budweiser
products, and assorted wines. So, bring a few extra dollars along
with you to assure your thirst is quenched throughout the evening. Cash
Bar will accept cash only.

minute to get your tickets as this is sure to be another sell-out. There will be a few tables available as well
as chairs, but to assure you have a seat, feel free to bring your own fold-up chair. No seating will be reserved but will be on a
first come basis.
