7th Heaven is an experience you just have to see and hear! With a focus on the last couple of decades and charting #1 on the Midwest Billboard Charts three times in the past three years, 7th heaven has been an entertainment staple for 30 years and earned the right to say ..."We've seen a million faces and rocked them all!"

Island, warm weather, and beach music with variety for everybody, and enough Buffett music to please the Parrothead crowd. The Beach Bum Band has traveled across the country performing on stage with Jimmy Buffett as his backup band for charity events from North Carolina to Wisconsin and Nebraska. The band certainly plays plenty of Buffett favorites, but you’re just as likely to hear music from Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Paul Simon, Dick Dale, Jerry Jeff Walker, and many others.
