What is Beach Music?

Have you tried to answer this question to people not From around here. “What is Beach Music?”

First I will say.. I am a FAN of the Beach Boys. I have listened to their music all my life and seen them in concert on several occasions. I like to see them when they come to the beach.. BUT in the words of General Norman Johnson…. “it ain’t beach music”. Sure a few songs of theirs have hit the Beach Music Radio stations and maybe even a few of them have charted. Typically, when a true beach music fan thinks of beach music they don’t think of the Beach Boys.. unless they are trying to define what Carolina Beach Music is not… I used to love it when General Norman Johnson started his “California Girls” joke prior to singing that song that is probably one of the most famous songs for our industry, “Carolina Girls”.

Beach Clubs and Lounges

I wanted to throw this out there and say Thank You to the clubs and lounges on Main Street and Ocean Drive. Thanks for providing a place to dance, see and hear the bands, listen to the tunes of the DJs and enjoy being with friends that love beach music and the Shag Dance. There is a lot of talk about who keeps this thing we call beach music and the shag going… I think we are very lucky to have so many places right here in North Myrtle Beach that provide what our beach music lifestyle desires.
