A "beach" music favorite, The Tams were among the popular up-tempo soul groups of the '60s. They scored their biggest hit in 1963 with "What Kind of Fool (Do You Think I Am)." Their show is fun, fresh and exciting and appeals to audiences of all ages and musical tastes.

Locals may remember the famed beach parties of Abingdon's past. This January, we're bringing the spirit of the beach party back to Abingdon with a special beach party themed show with The Tams!

Big Lon discovers the musical heritage of Southern Appalachia one dusty old record at a time. He collects and researches obscure 45rpm and 78rpm records from the independent studios and record labels in East Tennessee, Southwest Virginia, and the surrounding region. He hosts “Diggin’ With Big Lon,” a weekly vinyl record show, on WBCM Radio Bristol as well as the Kingsport Funfest annual event Big Lon’s Vinyl Record Expo. Expect a fun opening DJ set of record spinning!
