About Band of Oz
Band of Oz is one of the most enduring names in Carolina beach music, a genre rooted in soul, R&B, and the Shag dance culture that defines coastal Carolina nightlife. Formed by a group of friends from Greenville, NC in the late 1960s, the band turned professional in the early 1970s and went on to release genre-defining hits including “Shaggin’,” “Ocean Boulevard” (voted Beach Music Song of the Year), and the beloved “Shama Lama Ding Dong.” Band of Oz has since been inducted into both the Beach Music Hall of Fame and the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame, cementing their status as one of the region’s most celebrated live acts after more than five decades on the road. Seeing them at a venue the size of Seven Mile Post is a rare treat for longtime beach music fans and a perfect introduction for anyone who’s never experienced the genre live.

About Seven Mile Post
Seven Mile Post has built its name as a Wilmington bar that celebrates coastal Carolina culture — from weekly Shag Night to bringing in acts like Band of Oz for a special evening show. Located at 7219 Market Street, the venue’s mix of indoor and outdoor space gives guests room to dance and mingle, while The Xtra Mile’s bar food and full drink menu keep the night running smoothly from start to finish.

Good to Know Before You Go
Because this is a special evening show running earlier than the usual weekend slot, plan to arrive well before the 6 PM start — this is one night where getting there early genuinely matters, given Band of Oz’s reputation for drawing serious beach music fans from across the region. On-site parking at 7219 Market Street fills in quickly for shows like this one, and The Xtra Mile’s kitchen stays open throughout the performance.

A show of this caliber doesn’t come around often for a room this size, and it’s worth treating the evening as a genuine occasion rather than a casual drop-in. Longtime beach music and Shag fans from across the region are likely to make the trip for a chance to see a Hall of Fame act up close, so expect a fuller house than a typical Sunday.

Why You Shouldn’t Miss It
A live show from Band of Oz doesn’t come around often, and catching a Beach Music Hall of Fame act in a room this size is a genuinely special opportunity. Whether you grew up dancing to “Shaggin'” at the beach pavilions or you’re new to Carolina beach music altogether, this Sunday-evening show is the kind of event that turns into a story you’re still telling months later. Get there early — shows like this one tend to fill up fast.
