Band of Oz is a prominent name in the beach music scene, a genre that originated in the Carolinas and combines various styles of rhythm and blues, soul, and a bit of rock and roll, all perfect for dancing along the coastal strand. Emerging in the late 1960s in eastern North Carolina, the Band of Oz began as a part-time group playing at various engagements and quickly garnered a passionate following with their rich blend of brass and beach rhythms.

Over the decades, the band has undergone numerous changes in its lineup, with the lead singers and members evolving as the ensemble matured and refined its sound. Despite these changes, Band of Oz has consistently delivered music that resonates with fans, leading to an induction into the Beach Music Hall of Fame in 1997. Their impressive catalogue, with recent releases like "Coolin' Out" and "Dance to the Radio," showcases their ability to remain relevant and beloved in the beach music industry. With every spirited performance and album release, Band of Oz cements its place as a mainstay of the genre, evoking the carefree and upbeat energy of seaside celebrations.
