“Brewed In Wilmington, North Carolina” JIM QUICK & COASTLINE
An Introduction by Hiram Hester
An internet search for information about Coastline brings a lot of information, including previews of their music! Info I found to help in my introduction is as follows: This group has received every award that can be given to a band at the CAMMYs (Carolina Music Awards). They have received Group of the Year, Entertainer of the Year, and Song of the Year more times than anyone.
