The Swingin' Medallions have
been based out of the Greenwood South Carolina area, since
the early 1960's. Their musical roots came from listening to
the early rhythm and blues acts. The music most often
associated with the band is beach music, frat rock, R&B, or
shaggin' music. After a few years of touring colleges from
the Carolinas to the Louisiana Bayou, John McElrath took the
group to Arthur Smith's Studio in Charlotte North
Carolina, to record "Double Shot (of My Baby's
Love)". The song became a million seller in 1966, and has been a party classic for
college students for decades. "She Drives Me Out Of My Mind"
and "Hey, Hey, Baby" were top 40 hits in 1966 and 1967, but
"Double Shot" remains the signature song of the Swingin'
Medallions.
The members of the Swingin' Medallions have
changed over the past thirty years, with John McElrath being
the leader and only member to be performing today.
The personnel of the band has always included around
eight members with at least a four piece horn
section. The high energy party style stage
performance of the first Medallions has been passed
down to the band that performs today. The present
Medallions stage show has coined them the name "The
Party Band of the South."
Show Times: Sunday 1-4
