Dickie & The Ebb Tides

From the Biddeford-Saco (York County) region of Souther Maine, Dickie Waite led this mid-sixties rock and roll band that was a true fan-favorite of the Greater Portland/Southern Maine region.
Dickie & The Ebb Tides released two 45-RPM singles on Golden World Records; in October of 1966, they released I've Got A Shadow/One Girl, One Boy with One Girl, One Boy receiving moderate air-play in the Greater Portland market. That single was followed by I Don't Want Your Love/It's Better Than Making Believe with It's Better Than Making Believe also receiving some air-play from Southern Maine's pop radio stations: 1310-WLOB & 1440-WJAB of Portland and 1400-WIDE from Biddeford/Saco.
The band played all the local dance halls and venues, including The Palace Ballroom (Old Orchard Beach), St. John's Hall (Portland), The Expo (Portland), City Hall (Portland), and Clifford Park (Biddeford). The band opened for The Turtles and The Barbarians (featuring "Moulty" the drummer), both in OOB, as well as The Dave Clark Five and The McCoys, both at City Hall in Portland. The band broke up due to the Vietnam War draft.
Band members were Dick Waite - Vocals & Rhythm Guitar, Rick Tucker - Lead Guitar, Frankie Haskel - Keyboards, Bob "Bobbie" Bergeron - Bass Guitar, Ronnie Coulard - Drums, John Dow - Bass Guitar (after Bobbie left band) and Jean Paul "JP" Bergeron - Manager
