In the coming months, two men are betting that “Beach Music” will be given a new lease on life and its fan base some new tunes. Beach Music – a mix of Classic R&B, early Soul and Blues – can be traced to party venues of Southeastern Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia during the late 40’s. Popularly associated with the late 50s and 60s and white teens of that era who cut their pop music teeth on Beach Music, these two men are working to revive the music for a new audience.
