The Hushpuppies Band was formed in South Georgia in 1998. What started out as a band formed to perform for a fundraising benefit has ballooned into shows all over Georgia and into parts of South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee and Alabama. The Hushpuppies have opened for several big name acts such as REO Speedwagon, Kansas, The Blue Dogs, and The Drifters to name a few. They always pack the house and bring tons of fun and energy to the stage. We are so happy to welcome them back!

106 Savannah Ave., Statesboro, Georgia 30458 - N/A
The FQC is proud to host "The Party Band of the South", The Swingin’ Medallions for the first time! The band is excited to get back in this area and is looking forward to giving Statesboro another timeless good show that all are sure to enjoy! The Swingin’ Medallions have been based out of the Greenwood South Carolina area, since the early 1960’s. Their musical roots came from listening to the early rhythm and blues acts. The music most often associated with the band is beach music, frat rock, R&B, or shaggin’ music. After a few years of touring colleges from the Carolinas to the Louisiana Bayou, John McElrath took the group to Arthur Smith’s Studio in Charlotte North Carolina, to record "Double Shot (of My Baby’s Love)". The song became a million seller in 1966, and has been a party classic for college students for decades. "She Drives Me Out Of My Mind" and "Hey, Hey, Baby" were top 40 hits in 1966 and 1967, but "Double Shot" remains the signature song of the Swingin’ Medallions. The members of the Swingin’ Medallions have changed over the past thirty years, with John McElrath being the leader and only member to be performing today. The personnel of the band has always included around eight members with at least a four piece horn section. The high energy party style stage performance of the first Medallions has been passed down to the band that performs today. The present Medallions stage show has coined them the name "The Party Band of the South." Many of the Medallions attended and graduated from Lander University in Greenwood, SC while performing in the south east. The University of Georgia was also the home of some of the band members. Lewis Grizzard wrote in a 1993 article that, "Even today, when I hear the Swingin’ Medallions sing "Double Shot of My Baby’s Love, " it makes me want to stand outside in the hot sun with a milkshake cup full of beer in one hand and a slightly-drenched nineteen-year-old coed in the other."
