Stockton Goes to the Beach Concerts At The Cape May Convention Center
CHAD & JEREMY TAKE A TRIP ACROSS THE POND TO PERFORM AUGUST 5TH “Where the Arts Come Alive!”
GALLOWAY, NJ, JANUARY 18, 2013 --- The twelfth annual Stockton Goes to the
Beach Summer Concert Series returns to the Cape May Convention Center in Cape May, NJ for
the summer of 2013. Chad Stuart and Jeremy Clyde are back - because they couldn't stay away
and they will grace the stage on Monday, August 5th.
Show time is 8 p.m. Tickets are priced at $35 and may be ordered online at
www.capemaycity.com or by calling 1-855-708-9699 or by going to the Cape May Convention
Center.
From humble beginnings in coffee houses and folk clubs in London, Chad Stuart and
Jeremy Clyde were 'discovered' by famed movie composer John Barry and recorded a string of
hits: "Yesterday's Gone," "Summer Song," "Willow Weep For Me," "If I Loved You," "Before
and After" and "Distant Shores".
As former drama students, they were quickly snapped up by Hollywood ("We had long
hair and could string a sentence together."), appearing as themselves in legendary television
shows including The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Patty Duke Show, Laredo (a western yet!) and
Batman.
As the turbulent sixties drew to a close, they produced their best studio work (Of

Cabbages & Kings and The Ark), but Jeremy's heart was in his acting career. He returned
to England to perform on the London stage while Chad remained in Los Angeles working as an
arranger and record producer. A brief reunion and album in the 1980s failed to catch the
imagination of the public and that, seemingly, was the end of that.
They were gone but not forgotten it seems. With thirty seven re-releases of their albums,
re-runs of their TV shows and Summer Song heard not only on oldies radio, but in the movies
(Rushmore and Princess Diaries) and the Sports Heaven spots at the 2006 Super Bowl, Chad &
Jeremy have retained their own niche in the national consciousness.
Serendipity intervened in the summer of 2003 with a PBS TV music special. Since then
they have performed all over the States, Canada, Hawaii and the Philippines. In 2008 they
released ARK-eology, an album featuring the ultimate re-recordings of their favorite classic
songs, and will soon release a live album of their popular concert shows.
Still crazy after all these years, still standing after all this time and still trying to keep the
customer satisfied, armed only with guitars, piano, mandolin, video clips from their TV shows
and their irrepressible humor, they give their audiences an evening to remember.
This program is made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department
of State, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts and by funds from the National Endowment for
the Arts.
