There's a backlog of entries I've been meaning to post.  First up, video from my performance with the Insect Surfers at last year's (2014) Instro Summit.

Chad Shivers and the Silent Knights perform The Ventures and The Beach Boys Christmas albums 2014!

This year marks the fifth year my group Chad Shivers and the Silent Knights has performed the Ventures Christmas Album, and the second for the Beach Boys Christmas Album.  Historically the show has been held at the Earl in Atlanta but we are extremely excited to bring it to the Southern Surf Stomp at Kavarna this year.  This has become a special event for all of us and we look forward to it all year long.  Of course we will be joined by our Jingle Belle dancers as well.

"Little Saint" Nick Bazemore - lead vocals, guitar
David Northrip (the Fugitives) - vocals, guitar

With a heavy heart

My father, Charles "Charlie" Evan Shivers, passed away peacefully this morning at 9:20 am. He was an incredible man and father and I owe a great deal to him for his support and gift of music. Here's video of him (far left, sorry for poor quality) singing "The Old Rugged Cross" with his brothers.
