Longtime disc jockey and professional emcee Jim Bowers has hundreds of Top-40, alternative, disco, country, hip-hop, and shag tracks in his massive collection of vinyl, CDs, and MP3s. In April, he landed a few shifts on Charleston’s new oldies/beach music station Kirkland Broadcasting’s 1340 AM The Boardwalk WQSC. Within months, Bowers and 1340 AM kicked off a series of beach-themed, shag-friendly dance nights called The Boardwalk Beach Party. Charleston’s shaggers responded enthusiastically.
