LIVE Music By Good Shot Judy
Website | Facebook | YouTube | Twitter | Instagram
Good Shot Judy specializes in delivering top-notch Classic Vocal Jazz and recreating the classic nightclub entertainment feel of Las Vegas in its prime. Think Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Count Basie, glitz and glamour. Real entertainment from an era that was not only filled with great singers, performers, and great songs, but whose legacy has become synonymous with what great entertainment really is. It doesn’t end there though. Possessing a large repertoire of classic swingin’ big band hits, Good Shot Judy is also equally adept at delivering classic ballads, and cocktail music.
From the swingin’ sounds of Sinatra, Basie, and contemporaries like Michael Buble, and Harry Connick Jr., to the beautiful ballads of Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and back to the high energy Latin Dance big band sound, Good Shot Judy has got you covered! Now... Let it Swing Baby!

FOOD BY: Chef Hari Cameron
Hari Cameron was born into an eclectic family, one that followed his father’s guru from their native Delaware to Maryland and New York before finally settling back in Delaware when Cameron was 11. All the while, he and his brothers tucked into cuisines from around the world, reveling in sushi, Thai food, and curries. When Cameron was struggling with dyslexia and ADD, kitchens grounded him. He began working front of house at The Buttery in Lewes, Delaware and got his first taste of the kitchen while filling in at the salad station.
Next, he landed at Espuma in Rehoboth Beach. Inspired by owner Kevin Reading, Cameron attended The Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College in Philadelphia. He reunited with Reading in 2004 when the restaurateur opened Nage (now Fork + Flask). Throughout his seven years at Nage, Cameron exercised and strengthened his skills and creativity, preparing him for his first solo project.
In 2012, Cameron opened a(MUSE.), a small eatery in Rehoboth Beach. Three years later he launched casual, pasta-focused Grandpa (MAC) with his brother Orion, now with two locations. For his progressive, Mid-Atlantic cuisine at a(MUSE.), Cameron earned national attention, making the shortlist for James Beard’s “Rising Star Chef” in 2013, “Best Chef, Mid-Atlantic” in 2015 and 2016, and earning a StarChefs Rising Stars Award in 2018.
