Sanders performs at Ocean Drive Beach.
OCEAN DRIVE BEACH, S.C. – Winnsboro Town Councilman Clyde Sanders and his Reunion Bande recently released a new CD titled ‘Tranquil Bay,’ produced for Patman and Robin Records. To promote the CD, Sanders and the band’s bass player, Tim Boulware, were invited to Ocean Drive Beach to perform a song from the CD titled, ‘I Wanna Dance,’ written by Sanders.
“This is our first release. It’s been out for about 19 months, and it’s doing very well,” Sanders said. “We recorded seven songs – six originals and one cover song that was recorded by another artist.”
After the beach performance, the duo headed for Clinton, S.C. to do a radio spot with Pat Patterson. There, they released ‘Ready for the Beach,’ and ‘You are My Lady,’ which Sanders also wrote and says is his favorite.
“Tim and Gary Bass and I have been playing in bands together since 1965,” Sanders said. “I took a short break for 45 years, and when I moved back home to Winnsboro, I, along with Bob Curlee, formed The Reunion Bande,” Sanders said. “We had some of the original members from our first band including Tim and Henry Dixon from Ridgeway.”
‘Tranquil Bay is sold at Judy’s House of Oldies at Ocean Drive, as well as online at www.Largetime.net. The Reunion Bande will next perform in Winnsboro at the annual Shagging in the Street event in front of the Town Clock on Friday, June 22.
