The Collegians have been playing shows, dances, fairs and festivals for over 30 years. This band, known for "Carolina Beach Music" has become well diversified in musical styles. Just as the Carolina beach music tradition has evolved to embrace several styles of music, so have The Collegians. While still providing plenty of good shaggin' tunes, the band incorporates some infectious "Soul" and R&B grooves The great songs recorded at Motown, Atlantic, ATCO, Stax, Volt, Chess, Polydore and many others make up the musical focus of the Collegians! To This core we add carefully selected current pop, party and country titles. Click on the photo above to find out more about The Collegians.

Casey is also the manager of the "Willie Nelson General Store" and "Outlaw Museum" in Nashville, TN.
