Sadly we received news from Hopewell, Virginia earlier this morning. The Hopewell Moose Lodge 1472
was a total loss from a fire that started in the early morning hours. Thankfully no employees or lodge
members were inside of the structure and no injuries were reported.

The Hopewell Moose has supported their community for years through various events along with supporting
the Beach Music community. They've hosted various bands throughout the years along with the Central VA
Junior Shaggers.

If we receive further information we will be sure to update you on that. Our thoughts and prayers are with
the lodge members, their families and those affected within the community by this sad news.

March is upon us and that means you will begin to see all of the outdoor Summer series schedules posted.
We've added several to our calendar already including:

Alive at Five in Morehead City, NC
Downtown Clayton in Clayton, NC
Lake Life Live in Clarksville, VA
Mount Holly Concert Series in Mount Holly, NC
Music on Main in N. Myrtle Beach, SC
Ragapple Lassie Vineyard - Boonville, NC
Sunset Sounds in South Hill, VA

More venues, festivals, concerts and series will be added shortly. As soon as we know, we will make sure
you're updated so be sure to check back often as we receive information daily.

 

Yesterday we travelled down to Raleigh for the 2019 Cabin Fever Throwdown. There
was a great turnout this year including: fans, shaggers, DJ's and bands. If you missed
it, you surely missed an awesome day. We enjoyed performances by Steve Owens and
Summertime, Band of Oz, The Embers featuring Craig Woolard along with Jim Quick and
Coastline as they closed out the evening.

We've posted a few videos on our Facebook page but we will be including  a lot more
video from Sunday afternoon and the clips will be available on our Facebook page,
YouTube channel and Vimeo. We also received several compliments on our new
endeavor from several we ran into throughout the day and we can't thank you
enough for the kind words. We're working to make FFL your easy to navigate portal
to EVERYTHING, Beach Music and we can only do that with the help of all of you
in the Beach Music Community!

Flip Flop LIVE is released!

Last Summer we came up with the idea for Flip Flop Live and we've worked hard trying
to think about every aspect of what we'd like to see within FFL. What is it the bands and
artists need, how can we help the DJ's, what about the shaggers and beach music fans?
With such a dedicated community of people, the industry needed a dedicated source to
bring all of the information together in one place that will be kept current, is easy to
navigate and is supportive of all areas of beach music.

We present to you "Flip Flop Live"! Over the next few months we will be gradually making
changes, adding new features and we will be listening for your feedback. Join our mailing
list, like and follow us on Facebook and our various social media outlets. We will provide
opportunities to receive your thoughts, suggestions and overall satisfaction with our
service.
