Join us for an evening of fine tunes and good company in the artistic atmosphere you can only experience here at Sunset River Gallery.

AfterHours is a local band of seasoned musicians you may have seen performing at local restaurants here in Brunswick County. The popular ensemble will bring their musical stylings to the gallery for two hours of standards and audience favorites. Sax player Jeff Norris performed with various musical groups in the Philadelphia area before relocating to Sunset Beach. Cip Garcia began studying guitar in high school and then played rhythm guitar in a Chicago jazz duo. Also on guitar is Jim Pope who played bass for the Raleigh group Montage and later for the Vintage Accents jazz group. Drummer Mark St. Clair began his musical education in the Washington DC area during high school. After playing for some time with a country band, he discovered an interest in jazz. The band has recently added Bobbi Bernstein on keyboards and vocalist Bryan Hughes.
