Ahoy! My name is Amazing Grace (real name Cindy Kays) and for the past 5 years I have been working summers as an pirate entertainer aboard the Lost Pearl with Capt. Jack’s Pirate Ship Adventures in Va. Beach, VA. I am also a children’s musical entertainer and along with my singing partner have performed at festivals, libraries and elementary schools throughout the mid-Atlantic states. Our duo is called C. Shells. We have been regulars at the Blackbeard Pirate Festival in Hampton, VA for the past 6 years and enjoy performing pirate songs for young and old. We have also performed at pirate events for the Museum of the Albemarle in Elizabeth City, NC. Our shows are very interactive with the children, whether we have them play rhythm instruments or sing along.

UPDATE: I got to the park and most of the vendors were gone and the tent at the children’s area was destroyed. As it was still drizzling, I talked with the organizers and said I can’t bring my instruments out in the rain and they totally understood. So, I picked up my check and went home.
Saturday was a beautiful day for Stockley. I had LOTS of little ‘uns during my time there. It was a great day!! 💕
So with the wind and rain, I don’t know if I’ll be at Stockley Gardens this afternoon. Unless I get a call telling me they’ve canceled the rest of the festival, I will be there at 4:00-5:00 playing in the rain. 😁 I totally understand if you don’t make it out. Stay dry! ☔️

One of Cindy’s favorite places to visit is the Bahamas. She and her husband have spent many wonderful vacations there over the years. They are devastated by the destruction to Abacos and Grand Bahama. Cindy has already donated to an organization that has done a lot for the Bahamas over the years. If you are able, please consider donating whatever you can. 💕 www.gofundme.com/f/headknowles-emergency-funds
