Discover the roots of music legend Earl Scruggs at the new Earl Scruggs Center: Music & Stories From the American South in his hometown of Shelby. The renowned banjo player was famous for his three-finger playing style, which influenced music around the world and catapulted the banjo from a background melody to a sophisticated lead instrument.

And catch a performance at the nearby Don Gibson Theater.
Shag music covers a broad spectrum of genres, from R&B to swing, country, pop and even Latin. Perhaps the best way to describe shag (also called beach music) is any song that makes you want to get up and dance. Carolina shag is north carolinas state dance, a partner dance popularized in the 1940s where the upper body and hips hardly move while the legs do fancy footwork. It can still be found in shag clubs, especially on the Coast.
