The Fat Boys were one of the first rap groups to release full-length rap albums. They released seven studio albums, four of which went Gold.

The album Crushin’ received a Platinum status due to their single “Wipeout”, which was recorded together with The Beach Boys.

8/27 3-4 pm Shecky & the Twangtones

Around 1999 Long Islandguitarist Tommy “Shecky” Davis decided he needed some music fun and made plans to form his own band. The original idea was country twang Americana with a few Instrumental surf style tuned mixed in.

Throughout it’s near 25-year history and a few band members coming and going we’ve now settled on our description that reads like this “retro surf, reggae and soul jam music for all” that preforms a mix of interesting covers with the band’s own twist or as we like to say “we jam our own jam”. Band members: Tommy “Shecky” Davis, Brian Johnson, Tommy Dolan, and Frank Patterson.
