Swingin' Medallions

Swingin' Medallions

The Party Band of the South

5-12-08--Hey Folks. We were down in Callahan FL on Thursday night at the West Nassau High School. Then, we were in Bainbridge GA on Friday for the Rivertown Days Festival. We played with The Tams. A brief history lesson...if not for people like Charles Pope and Joe Pope, the founders of The Tams and for people like John McElrath, the founder of the Medallions, we would not be around today. Joe Pope passed on a few years back, but his brother Charles along with his son Redd keep the Tams tradition alive, just as John and his two sons, Shawn and Shane keep the Medallion tradition alive. John and Charles have paved the road for us and we owe so much to them. They have kept their respective bands around, working for over 40 years and that is incredibly admirable. If you have not caught a Medallion/Tams show, you should try to see one. Redd, Reggie, and the other guys in the Tams put on a great show. Anyway....we are headed to Dalton Ga on Friday, Birmingham AL on Saturday for a private show, and then back to Marietta GA on Sunday. Visit our 2008 Tour Dates page for details on all of our shows. We are still busy recording tracks for the new CD, and have completed 4 tunes! We have chosen a total of 12 songs, with some great originals and a few new covers. We hope to have it out by Summer.

Not sure if we ever showed you this, check it out, is kind of different to say the least. Someone emailed this link to us a few months ago, it seems a guy purchased this set and maybe has it in his basement.
