New Song Pays Tribute to Dewey Beach!
The Drunken Crabs is a group of musicians who came together to create this catchy tune, Summertime in Dewey Beach, that pays homage to the popular beach town!
“This is just a single I put out because I love the town,” says Rev. Robert ‘Boots’ DiGiacomo who has been a Dewey Beach regular since 1989. Digiacomo, who had a store in Dewey which is now only online, is also a reverend, a nondenominational ordained minister.
He’s been singing his entire life in bands from Delaware including Mother Nature’s Blacklight Rainbow, Hellbomber and now, Blood Law. Digiacomo has produced a few albums over the years but in a different genre than this song.
Digiacomo (shown singing, bottom right) and Michael Protokowicz (standing on guitar, bottom left) wrote the song and then tapped bass player Christopher ‘Soup’ Campbell (sitting on base, bottom left) and drummer Jeremy Green (top right) from Blood Law, their present group, to join the project.
“They wrote their own parts so I feel like all four of us wrote the song together,” he explains. The album was recorded at Sletner Sound Studio in Wilmington. “The song is available everywhere, anywhere you stream music and you can also use it on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat behind your pictures or videos of the good times you have in Dewey Beach,” Digiacomo points out.
“With this song,” he says, “just trying to get some streams. Hopefully, it will be the go-to summertime song in Dewey! There’s a few of the awesome cover bands and acoustic acts that are covering it around town and in Wilmington. I’m trying to get all the bars and restaurants and stores in Dewey to play it, like it and add it on their playlists so it comes on randomly while they’re open.”
