Jim Quick & Coastline

Artist or in person, Jim Quick is the kind of guy you genuinely want to call a friend. With the charm only a true Southerner can possess, he brings his talent to the stage with a quick-witted, knee-slapping sense of humor coupled with the clear sincerity of his love for his craft.

"As a child, I was real mischievous. Playin' pranks and makin' jokes; doin' stupid stuff you do as a kid. People would laugh; the more they laughed, the more I'd act a fool! It was like applause for more, more, more. I loved being the center of attention. Still do. Add music and, well, that's spice to the concoction! That's how I roll."

And "roll" he does. Quick's been touring the Southeast US for more than 15 years, playing nearly 300 shows per year, and has released more than 11 albums including his newest, DOWN SOUTH. Originally introducing their music as the Coastline Banda band of friends who played the Carolina beach bars day in and day outthe group pushed Quick to the forefront and naturally transformed into Jim Quick & Coastline. Known for his all-out performances and deliberate, off-the-cuff wisecracks, Jim has been a gracious recipient of the Carolina Music Awards "Entertainer Of The Year Award" nine times.
