If the Carolina Beach Music Academy gave Awards for the prettiest, most sincere smile, Karen Dehart Clayton would have one for every year of her life. Karen and the Castaways are truly one of O.D. Mafia’s favorites. This band has the musical talent and sound that delights their many fans plus, and it’s a big plus, the band members themselves are great individuals. They have a talent for lifting your spirits and Karen’s smile is contagious. Okay, I’ll admit it, I love this band!!!
