The sound of the state

The shag, South Carolina's state dance, grew up on the Grand Strand to Carolina beach music, which is why stations like The Surf still play it. The state also gave jazz Dizzy Gillespie, from Cheraw, and soul James Brown, born in Barnwell. Beach radio, blues radio and bluegrass radio go further.
