Welcome back to The Cape Current, your go-to for everything creative, and community-driven in coastal Delaware. This week, we’re tuning into the rhythms that make summer here unforgettable, from seafood and sunsets to the musicians who have shaped our shoreline’s soundtrack.
Our feature by Roger Hillis traces the long and winding history of Delaware’s beach music scene, spotlighting homegrown talents like Ed Shockley and Keith Mack. It is a love letter to the stages, stories, and songs that have defined nights out from Dewey to Rehoboth for generations.
In Live & Local, Marissa Levy serves up a weekend of sounds and sights, from a tie-dyed trip at Hippie Fest to a soulful night with Surfing for Daisy, plus oysters and open mics to keep the vibes flowing. The Current Bite with Hari Cameron ladles up a taste of tradition with Aunt Ida’s crab and dumplingsr. Zeke Ottemiller’s Brewsworthy stops by Henlopen City Oyster House, where beer and seafood make a perfect pairing.
Pam George’s Small Wonder, Big Bites takes us on a global tasting tour without leaving the coast, Ryan Vai’s Current Canvas floats us into Michael Johnson’s sunlit surfscapes, and Live Like a Local casts a line from the best fishing piers around. In Current Crush, Deb Griffin shows how her love of Lewes became a love story in print.
