The Entertainers are a first timer at the Cabin Fever Series will appear on Friday April 16, 2010! One of the reasons we invited The Entertainers this year is because their range of dance music is so broad – you’ll get your beach music fix, and so much more!

With their legions of fans known as Coastline Crazies, the band travels all over performing more than 300 shows per year. Coastline is one of the most sought after acts on the road today – get ready Roanoke it’s “Coastline-time.”

We’ll plan on inviting Jim Quick and the boys back again in 2010 at least once, and maybe more.

Band History

Mark Twain once said, “A Southerner talks music.” If this is true, Coastline speaks in volumes. An eclectic blend of soul, blues, beach 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. 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.
