The band is best known for their catchy hit, “Double Shot (of My Baby’s Love),” which made waves in 1966 and still has the power to get everyone singing along. Get ready to dance because the Swingin’ Medallions know how to put on a show that gets the crowd moving!
Bring your dancing shoes, folks! The festival will feature shag dancing, a delightful dance style that is perfectly paired with beach music. Whether you’re an expert or a beginner, it’s the perfect chance to learn some new moves while enjoying the rhythm of the music. No experience necessary; just come ready to have fun!
The Beach Music Festival is part of a broader weekend of musical activities in our lovely Aiken. Right after the festival, on May 10, the Soulfeathers Psychedelic will take the stage alongside The J.W. for another lively performance. Then, don’t miss the majestic Aiken Symphony concert featuring Capriccio Espagnol on the same day, followed by the remarkable Aiken Civic Orchestra concert titled Johannes and Clara on May 18. What a fantastic chance to soak in some local art and culture!
But wait, there’s even more! On May 10, the Aiken Visitors Center and Train Museum is hosting a National Train Day celebration.
