Brad Paisley’s “Waitin’ on a Woman” music video has been named the music video of the year award for the 44th Annual Academy of Country Music® Awards, scheduled to air live on April 5th on CBS at 8 pm. 

 

The video was filmed on the Outer Banks and includes dazzling scenes of the OBX depicted throughout the video.  Jim Shea, Producer/Director reflects, “My filming experience on the Outer Banks was magical.  It was the perfect location to make my project with Brad Paisley and Andy Griffith come alive.  Carolyn E. McCormick and everyone at the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau were invaluable to the creation of the project and making it the award winning success that it has become. Creating beautiful images with such wonderful people in a place that is as incredible as the Outer Banks was a great pleasure and an award in and of itself. I look forward to going back and filming more projects in the future on the enchanted islands of the Outer Banks.”

Chris Bickford Surf  The Outer Banks has world-class surf, with conditions ripe for the beginner and professional surfers. 

 

This great surf culture also creates outstanding conditions for photos of the surf, surfers, and natural beauty of the ocean environment. 

 

Chris Bickford, a local photographer, has taken the time to piece together a great photo essay, titled “After the Storm,” that highlights the exceptional surf conditions and surfers “ripping” the OBX waves.  In addition to the excellent photo essay, Chris also accompanies the photos with a written essay about the Outer Banks surf culture that captures the essence of the Outer Banks. 

 

Included in the slide show is the music of an exceptional local artist, Justin Rudolph, that is bound to make “waves” in the music industry for years to come.  Justin is a senior at the local high school, but his musical skills, which are unique but along the lines of Jack Johnson and Jason Mraz, are advanced beyond his age.
