About the band

Over 25 years in the making, Jim Quick and Coastline, like its namesake the Atlantic Coastline Railroad, has been traveling the “tracks” of the Southeastern U.S. and connecting with the hearts of loyal “Coastline Crazies.”

Pulling from the threads of Soul, Blues, R&B and Americana, Jim Quick and his band weave together their own genre of music, known as Swamp Soul. The group “captures the true, honest spirit of traditions born and bred in the small southern towns of America,” said a press release.

“These musicians, whose talents have landed them numerous awards in the industry, bring this indigenous music to life in the most genuine way possible,” said the release.

Quick explained in the release that “I want my music to be a bridge for many genres; a place where traditional and contemporary music can unite. But I do love the pure emotion and simple-yet-deep concepts of roots music. I’m a Southern boy and it all hits home. The lyrics and heart of the music, from the melodies to chord progressions, it all seems to strike an ancestral nerve with me.”

The band currently maintains an average of 250 tour dates per year, with an ever-growing fan base that is as diverse as the music of the band itself.
