The Band of Oz was formed in 1967 as a part-time band playing fraternity parties and high school proms all over
the South. In 1977 the band went on the road full time. Since that time the band has made an exceptional name for
itself throughout the Southeast by playing the top clubs and corporate parties, and getting excellent reviews along the way. For several years the group has been a guest on most of the major beach concerts in the Carolinas, Virginia, and
Georgia.

The band recorded their first song, Shaggin in 1978. It has become a beach classic. In 1982 at the Beach Music Awards, the Band of Oz was presented with an award for Best Group,
and one of their songs, Ocean Boulevard, was voted Best Beach Record of that year. In 1984 the band released Keep Keeping It Up, their first album. One More Step, their second album, was released in the summer of 1989. 1995 brought the release of the band's third album, Let It Roll, one of the most successful beach music records of all time.

At the 1995 Cammy Awards, Let It Rock took Album of the Year, and Shama Lama Ding Dong took Song of the Year. The band also walked away with Best Group of the Year. At the 1996 awards, the band took home awards for Best Ballad and Best Live Recording. The Band of Oz again received an award
for Best Group and was inducted into the Beach Music Hall of Fame at the 1997 Cammy Awards. The band is currently
working on their fourth album.
