Since the inception of the band in 1978, the Fantastic Shakers have performed over 10,000 engagements. They have performed from New York to Florida and all throughout the Southeast. South Carolina's Grand Strand has become the band鈥檚 summer home, and their hit single, 鈥淢yrtle Beach Days,鈥� catapulted The Fantastic Shakers to the top of the Carolina鈥檚 musical groups.

This combination of experience and longevity has allowed the Fantastic Shakers to possess a level of versatility few other groups can match. With five lead vocalists and up to four horns, they can perform almost any style of music from Carolina beach, up-tempo dance and rock, to smooth easy listening.
