Great Beach Music

Beach music is the soulful soundtrack of the Carolinas and has a rich history that is an important piece of regional culture. It emerged in the late 1950s and early 1960s, propelled by the rhythm and blues of the era. Beach music is best known for its signature dance (the shag).

Beach music has changed and evolved over time while staying true to the beach life culture. With its beginnings in rhythm and blues, over the years it has adapted to include other genres of music, such as rock ‘n’ roll, disco, funk and soul, all of which add to its distinctive sound. Today, beach music is a celebration of a lifestyle engrained in the coast, community, and the joy of dance. It’s an essential part of beach life in the Carolinas.

Using a mix of familiar and popular ’50’s-’80’s rock, pop, R&B, dance and folk and ’80’s-90’s country, Coz provides that classic beach sound that is not only relaxing and fun, but also makes you want to get up and hit the dance floor.
