Our Top 10 Cape Cod Wave Moments + 5 Music VIDEOS from 2018

Rip-It-Ups at Oysterfest, 2018
Written by Cape Cod Wave

We have already posted the top 10 most popular stories of Cape Cod Wave readers. These next 10 (+5) are our favorites from a year of Cape Cod Wave that did not make the list.

The top one, from the Wellfleet Oysterfest, is a music video. We soon realized we could make more than half the list music videos, because we found Cape Cod footage mixed really well with Cape Cod music this year. (Musicians, if you are interested, please contact us.)

So we decided this year to post our top 10 favorite stories that did not make the top 10 most popular + we added in 5 extra music videos of Cape Cod scenery featuring Cape Cod music.

The Happiest Place, Wellfleet Oysterfest 2018 – Music By The Rip-It-Ups, VIDEO We believe the Wellfleet Oysterfest could be prescribed as an antidepressant. This video always makes us smile. 

Cape Cod Grandmothers Against Gun Violence, 6 Years After Sandy Hook This group continues to fight, and we are glad for it.

The Cavalcade Has A New Musical Director, Fred Boak, A Profile – Fred Boak has always been one of our favorite people, and when he took over the Cavalcade we found a reason to profile him and discover how he became Chandler Travis’ Valet.

Praying For Luck With A Metal Detector This story stuck with us because Trevor Ponte likes hunting for old metal as much as anyone likes anything. We like passionate people, and learning why they love what they love.

AND FIVE MUSIC VIDEOS

The Greenheads At Terra Luna, “Stoned” – Music VIDEO We entered the back door of Terra Luna “Goodfellas” style and wandered through the kitchen, past the bar and to the front to see the Greenheads. Our favorite live show of the year.

Surfing at Coast Guard Beach, VIDEO + Music By Bruce Maclean – Surfing and surf music. Some things are perfect.
