Local music in Tyrrell County and the nearby regions might be characterized as “beach music.” Dancing. Partying. Relaxing. Blackwater, a local band fits this term. “The name comes from the Blackwater Swamps. We played at Flemz when people would play on open mic night,” said Ty Fleming, lead singer The band is comprised of Jimmy Fleming on drums, Ty as lead singer, Tracy Godwin on lead guitar, and Rick Armstrong on bass. Blackwater has played at many venues at the beach and continues to have regular gigs. Bands at the beach tend to get more consistent work in the summertime. “A lot of places close down for the season. They shut down in the winter,” said Fleming. New Years was a good time for Blackwater as they played at Legion Beach to a packed crowd. Other notable performances included playing at the Ride to a Wish Event and a biker festival in Kitty Beach. New Years’ night also included a music performance from another party band called Monkey Foot at the Columbia Crossing and Good Times Tavern. Fleming said he got his interest in music from his parents. “My parents would play at parties for friends and at cookouts. It just seemed like a fun thing to do,” said Fleming. Fleming is 34 years old and has played in Blackwater since 2003. He has played music for close to twenty years. Blackwater has some original music about living and the “trials and tribulations” of relationships. “Sounds like Thunder” and “Hey Cat” are the titles of some of the Blackwater’s original music.

A member of the Town of Columbia Board of Aldermen was scheduled to be in the District Court of Pasquotank County this past week. Michael Eugene Crowder, 63, of the 700 block of Howard St., Columbia, was arrested May 20 by Elizabeth City Police and charged with misdemeanor sexual battery, according to arrest reports. A trial date for Crowder was set for June 14 before Judge Eula Reid. The trial was continued to July 29. The case has now been continued until August 12. Lisa A. Sawyer, Judicial Assistant and Arbitration Coordinator for the Pasquotank County Court System commented on why the case was delayed. “Mr. Crowder’s Attorney was required to be in Superior Court in another county. It looks that that is why they had to continue it.” Sawyer explained. Tyrrell County attorney David Gadd announced during the county commissioners meeting July 16 that Crowder, county veterans service officer, is maintaining office hours each Wednesday morning but is no longer working “in the field” or in the homes of clients pending the outcome of charges against him.
