We're excited to announce a new feature on Flip Flop Live. If you've been to Beach Music events, most likely you've
seen Rickie Lipscomb moving throughout the crowd capturing photos. Rickie is nice enough to make these
photos available to those wishing to view them. You can even purchase high quality, professionally enhanced
photos seen in his albums.

Rickie's photos will now be available on our website making it easy for everyone to view and/or order individual
photographs. We look forward to this partnership with Rickie!

What a great weekend in N. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina topped off with an excellent show on Sunday at the Alabama Theatre.

So much talent from all of the artists and musicians throughout the Carolinas and Virginia! From the countless miles driven yearly, the release of new music and the true talent presented on stages throughout the South keeping the classics alive. If you visit the "Band Page" on our website, take a look at the talent that makes up our industry. Many spend days and/or weeks away from their families while performing multiple shows daily with the shows being hundreds of miles apart. Thank you for your dedication to the industry, keeping the classics we love alive and bringing us new music to enjoy for years to come.

If you love listening and/or dancing to the bands, you will find  LIVE events listed below scheduled for the upcoming weekend. All events can be found in our "CBMA Weekend Guide" for easy accessibility from your mobile device, tablet, PC and of course you're more than welcome to print it as well.
