FEATURING: "JIM QUICK AND COASTLINE BAND"September 25 is the date for the third “Alive After Five” event of 2008. Plan to join everyone and enjoy the incredible and extremely popular band “JIM QUICK AND COASTLINE.” This last Chamber-sponsored concert of 2008 will be held in Oxford’s downtown parking lot at the intersection of Main and Littlejohn Streets.
“Mark Twain once said, ‘A Southerner talks music.’ If this is true, Coastline speaks volumes. An eclectic blend of soul, blues and rock has produced the sound known as Coastline. From hard-driving Carolina back beats, to Georgia southern rock, from Cajun inspired grooves, to Texas and Delta blues --- Coastline truly defines the sound of historical Southern music. With finesse, the pure forms of southern music are transformed into a modern contemporary art form.
The inimitable vocals and humorous antics of lead singer Jim Quick are captivating and a perfect hybrid of every essence of soul. He has won more accolades than any other entertainer at the Carolina Music Awards. Guitarist, Casey Meyer is the blues boy in the band. Although the youngest member of Coastline in regard to age, Casey slides on his guitar with the confidence and grace of his many adored older mentors. He is essence of Coastline’s roots and earmark. His partner in crime, Albert Rogers on bass, comes to Coastline via The Band and Grayson Hugh not to mention Albert’s a great singer in his own right. The multi-talented Glen Tippett rounds out this perfect culmination of musicians. This virtuoso is a highly trained saxophonist and keyboardist and completes this unique sound of the south.
Their debut national release, “Sweet “N” Ripe, released in April of 2005 is a perfect collection of the nuances of the band. Over half of the album is original material written by the group, while the remainder of the album is comprised of rare material from legendary impressionable artists such as Hank Ballard, Lee Dorsey and Jimmy Reed.
The buzz is on about COASTLINE. With their legions of fans known as Coastline Crazies, the band travels all over performing more than 300 shows per year. Teamed with management company, Green Dot Music, COASTLINE is one of the most sought after acts on the road today, staying booked over a year in advance. Coastline has rapidly become a staple in Americana music.
Some of their greatest hits include: Turn Me Over, Sweet Mama Do Right, Sweat, Late at Night, She Poured It On, Swamps of the Old Santee, Tiki Bar and My Little Lucy. Most recently, Coastline’s popularity has surged with My Big Sister’s Transistor Radio and Mama’s Drinkin’ Liquor Again
