Then, the all-ages Shaggin’ on the Cooper returns for its fourth scheduled event of the season on Saturday, July 15 with local beach music group The Counts. This Charleston-based group popular in the ‘70s and ‘80s is performing again at Shaggin’ on the Cooper, playing beach music, oldies and other tunes. Shaggin’ on the Cooper is open to all ages.
