This summer Carolina beach music returns to town to help celebrate the warm weather.
The historic Rose Hill Estate plans to host its second summer concert series with the first show kicking off the series on Friday. Concerts will be held every other week through Sept. 4.
First on the lineup is one of the most popular bands in Carolina beach music and rhythm and blues - Chairmen of the Board. The band is well known for their hits "Give Me Just A Little More Time," "Gone Fishin'" and "Carolina Girls." The Chairmen of the Board, a Charlotte-based trio featuring General Norman Johnson, Danny Woods and Kenny Knox, also launched the Rose Hill Estate series last year.
Other bands on the lineup include Billy Scott & the Party Prophets. They will take the stage on July 31 with Billy Scott, who first started his entertainment career in 1965 while stationed at Fort Gordon with the group Georgia Prophets. The group's songs "California" and "I Got the Fever" have seen great success on the national charts.
The Fantastic Shakers will return to the Rose Hill stage on Aug. 14. The group, fronted by Bo Schronce, have a long catalog of chart and radio hits, including the beach music standard "Myrtle Beach Days." Other chart toppers include "The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing," "Shakin' the Shack" and the often-requested ballad, "Where Do I Go."
Famous for their signature Tam O'Shanter hats, polished choreography and stage show and their tight soulful harmonies, the Tams will appear in Aiken on Aug. 28. The Atlanta-based group has recorded and appeared with Jimmy Buffett across America. Their No. 1 beach music hits include "Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy," "I've Been Hurt," "What Kind of Fool" and "Hey Girl Don't Bother Me."
The series concludes on Sept. 4 with the Charleston-based band The East Coast Party Band. The group features six lead vocalists, a full horn section and a dynamic stage show.
