In Summary….
With my website, Beach Music Online, I have been sending Internet traffic to beach music artist websites from the beach music artist and band schedule page for over 18 years. This list below is simply a ranking based on the activity of the thousands of beach music fans that visit this bmo website and schedule webpage.
If your favorite artist is not listed on the beach music online band schedule page, please use the comments from below and tell me who is missing. I will add them once I get permission from the artist to link to their schedule. ( Requirement, they must have a website schedule page and it has to be somewhat updated. If they are still showing their next event as Peanut Cluster Festival of 2008, they may not be approved to be added to the list).

Ive been playing music for 50 years and iam telling everyone that The band Cat5 is one of the BEST live bands ive heard in a really long time and ive heard alot of them,i mean every one of those guys including there sound guys are top notch players, singers and engineers, So if you have never heard these guys live then your really missing out,Now dont get me wrong all these bands out today are all very good entertainers..
Check out Motown Buttah from Cobb Island, MD
We saw the Tonez this past weekend in N. C. They are real good!!
Envision is a great show band playing Beach and Rhythm and Blues!
agreed – they have been added to the schedule link page – if others want to know where they are playing.. they may appear on the top 20
The Fantastic Shakers?
The don’t perform anymore – Go back and read the post.
Bo,
Appreciate all you do to keep us shaggers who live outside the Carolinas informed. Hard to find beach music in Florida although a friend of mine wants to get a group together to raise money to bring one of the top bands to SW FLORIDA this fall.
Love the Chairmen, Catalinas and BOZ (although I agree they are playing many of their songs a beat too fast).
Where’s #20?
Oops – Thanks!
There will never be a better Beach Shag Song as Miss Grace…The Tymes.
The Rick Strickland Band and Lesa Hudson!
Love the BOZ!
Sure miss seeing The Attractions.
Glad to see “Gary Lowder & Smokin’Hot” in the Top 10!
Where is the Randy Clay Band? Folks don’t sleep on these guys. They are excellent
They are on the list of band schedules.
They are just not one of the top 20 most clicked on bands in December
Pink Slips Handmade the top 20. They are a really great beach band. Young and old will enjoy for years to come!
I agree! Love, love The Pink Slips! They rocked the Spanish Galleon last weekend!!!!
Where can we find all the links Bo?
Click on Band Schedules in the navigation menu.
What about the North Tower Band ???
I have added a link to their calendar – They don’t have much information.
Ok thanks they have the best sound man in any Beach Band in Steve Davis
I like this list a lot…are the Chairmen still active? I have a hard time finding them performing very often. Love Oz (wish they would slow down a couple of songs)…Love Catalinas too and look forward to seeing them in NMB this weekend
Click on the band schedules page and click on Chairmen of the Board featuring Ken Knox
I think older bands should be listed. Even though some have passed way, they should not br forgotten, or their music rarely played. It is a good thing to honor those that used go be number 1, and not forget them, or not play their music because they passed away, or are no longer playing music. They are and were the best when they played, and many fans still long to hear their music!
This list is rank based on the “clicks” for the Band Schedule Page. To be considered, you have to be performing with a schedule listed somewhere on the Internet,
Clicks doesn’t mean they’re popular, even liked bands. Interesting way to come up with a list – number of clicks
What a great list of Bands and the musicians that make them up, glad to see my personal favorite is # 1 and 2
Thanks Mike!
Special Occasion Band is missing. Thx.
Added a link to Band Schedules
Love Gary Warren!
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BAND “CAROLINA BREAKERS”?
They are no longer performing as a group.
