There are many bands or groups touring today yet few of them are considered a musical institution. The Embers have solidified their position as a thriving musical entity and have left their mark on listeners for decades. The Embers boast numerous albums and single releases that span decades and all the crazes continuing to exhibit top quality showmanship\, musicianship\, and professionalism. Having been inducted into the South Carolina Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame and most recently the South Carolina Beach Music Hall of Fame\, The Embers are honored to carry the moniker of North Carolina’s Official Ambassadors of Music. The Embers are widely considered a musical marvel and have laid the groundwork for what has become known as ‘Beach Music’ in the Carolinas\, Virginias\, and the gulf coast region of North America\, and every beach in between. The Embers themselves consider the genre of Beach Music as “music with a memory” and have been creating lasting memories since they were formed in 1958. Simply put – the Embers perform feel good music – music with lots of heart and soul.

Over 25 years in the making\, Jim Quick and Coastline\, like their namesake the Atlantic Coastline Railroad\, have been traveling the “tracks” of the southeast\, and connecting with the hearts of loyal “Coastline Crazies.” Pulling from the threads of Soul\, Blues\, R&B\, and Americana\, Jim Quick and Coastline weave together their own genre of music known as Swamp Soul. Delivered with precision by lead singer Jim Quick and his band\, this group captures the true\, honest spirit of traditions born and bred in the small southern towns of America. These five musicians\, whose talents have landed them numerous awards in the industry\, bring this Indigenous music to life in the most genuine way possible. Jim Quick explained it best when he said “I want my music to be a bridge for many genres; a place where traditional and contemporary music can unite. But I do love the pure emotion and simple-yet-deep concepts of roots music. I’m a Southern boy and it all hits home; the lyrics and heart of the music\, from the melodies to chord progressions\, it all strikes an ancestral nerve with me.” The band currently maintains an average of 250 tour dates per year\, with an ever-growing fan base that is as diverse as the music of the band itself. Jim Quick has earned many accolades and has been named both Entertainer and Songwriter of the Year by the Carolina Beach Music Awards.
