Booking Beach Bands

The official dance of both South Carolina and North Carolina, the shag is only performed to classic beach music. This style of music became popular in the fifties and sixties and is still considered "the" only music fit to shag by. Shagging is a very easy dance to learn. Simply strike up a beach band and then put a shuffle in your step and a swing in your hips. The best-loved beach music comes from legends including The Drifters, The Platters, General Johnson and the Chairmen of the Board, The Four Tops, Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding and others. "Under the Boardwalk," "I've Still Got Some Sand in My Shoes," "Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie," "Kissing in the Back Row of the Movies," "With This Ring" and countless others will go down in history as the most popular beach music songs of all time.
