In an LBI summer, the music does not end with the weekend. Captain Eric Clark kept spirits high on a cloudy Monday night at the Sea Shell, in Beach Haven.

“Bear in mind, folks, that you’re in a really beautiful place,” he addressed his audience. “Overcast skies or not, the Sea Shell is the place to be.”

During a normal season (pre-pandemic), Clark performs with a four-piece band, Captain Eric and the Shipwrecks. The band consists of Clark, on lead vocals and guitar, Steve Schaefer on guitar, Dave Cohen on bass and Mike Pape on drums.

The band formed as a collaboration of friends in a Manasquan coffeehouse.
