Thursday's Shindig featuring beach music

Coming Up Brass Coming Up Brass, a 10- member group of musicians scheduled to perform at Gaffney's Shindig at the Gaffney Cabin, is ready to put on one of the biggest and best Beach Music shows ever to come to this area, and it is FREE!

When it comes to music, size does matter and the members of Coming Up Brass, also known as The CUB Band, will knock your socks off with their strong horn section, their rockin' music and killer vocals!

Coming Up Brass has played Beach Blasts, festivals, private parties, weddings, corporate parties and other events in and around the Charlotte, North Carolina area for years. When Archie Bell of Tighten Up fame would come to North or South Carolina, they were his "band of choice." This band has built a loyal following of fans that voted them the Creative Loafing Reader's Pick "Best Local Band for Dancing!"

So now you know why you need to dust off your shaggin' shoes and come on down to Shindig at the Gaffney Cabin on Thursday, October 16 at 6 p.m. Don't be late because you will want to have the best seat around to see, hear and dance to this great Beach Show band! Trackside Diner and Davis Amusements will have "good eats" available, which means you can come straight from work and stay right up until the end of the show. Dress warm, bring your lawn chair or blanket, and plan on a great evening of music, food, fun, and community spirit.
