Float for the Coast
August 17 @ 8:30 am

On Friday, August 17th, Assateague Coastal Trust (ACT) and its Assateague COASTKEEPER program are partnering with Oceana and the Ocean City Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation for “Float for the Coast,” an on-the-water rally in support of clean water. The Float will be both a celebration to embrace the water quality protections that allow thousands of locals and visitors alike to recreate safely in our Coastal Bays and a demonstration to raise awareness about the ongoing and looming threats to our fragile coastal waters.  

Float For The Coast, the only on-the-water activist event of this kind on Delmarva, returns for the 4th year to the waters of Isle of Wight Bay, directly behind the Ocean City Convention Center during the annual Maryland Assocation of Counties summer meeting.  A flotilla of kayaks, canoes, stand-up-paddleboards and other floating water craft will paddle up Isle of Wight Bay from Fish Tales at 22nd St. to the Convention Center to participate in a call to action to protect clean water and a healthy ocean.OFriday, August 17th, Assateague Coastal Trust (ACT) and its Assateague COASTKEEPER program are partnering with Oceana and the Ocean City Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation for “Float for the Coast,” an on-the-water rally in support of clean water.

Dave Hawkins
August 17 @ 5:00 pm
Dave Hawkins, an accomplished musician, has been playing music for what seems to be his entire life. Music is his passion and he is passionate about how it’s perceived throughout his audience. He plays many guitars, harmonica, and fiddle and when you hear him you will think there is a whole band, not just one person. This is accomplished by what is known as looping.  There is never a “backing track” to play along with, which is used by some other players out there. His vocals and music will reach the deepest part of you while it sets your senses alive. He plays sounds from the current popular, to classic rock, to Dave Matthews, to his own original compositions as he touches on just about any genre you may desire.

Rick & Lennon LaRicci
August 17 @ 7:00 pm
This father/son duo plays a diverse range of covers.  
 
Rick La Ricci was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. While owning and operating a roofing business, Rick also played music on the side at various clubs. His biggest influence was singer/songwriter John Lennon and of course The Beatles. Rick has played various shows and clubs in Baltimore and Ocean City. While residing in Ocean City Rick’s son Lennon La Ricci was born.

After moving back to Baltimore and seeing his father play music his whole life Lennon had taken an interest in music himself. One day while strumming on a guitar, Rick asked Lennon what instrument he wanted to play. Lennon chose the piano/keyboard as his first instrument.  Rick’s dream was to play on the same stage as his son so he decided to take him to his old friend Jim Jones who runs and operates a music school called The Music Work Shop. Jim Jones took a special interest in Lennon and started giving him personal lessons. Ricks dreams would come true quicker than expected because 6 months later he and Lennon played together for the first time at The Horse You Came In On in Fells Point, Md. They started doing monthly gigs at The Horse You Came In On Saloon in Baltimore Maryland where they would hone their skills. As Lennon’s music skills progressed he started learning more sets and doing longer shows. Rick and Lennon have played at Oregon Ridge Blues Festival, Hampden Festival, Hot August Blues, Bill Bateman’s, The Horse, The Hon Fest and all over Ocean City Maryland.

Lennon’s life long dream is to become a professional songwriter and musician.  Along the way bandmates have come and gone, but what still remains is Rick and his son Lennon doing what they love everyday…playing music.
