SCBC DJs
The SCBC has the best DJs around, who play on a rotating basis. They are: Kevin Mahoney ~ JD Merkel ~ DJ Bugger
Each one of them has played around town for decades and they know what fast dancers want to hear and play it. Their music is unique--sometimes characterized as beach music or R & B boogie blues music. Whether you do the Jitterbug, Jump, East or West Coast Swing, Bop or Shag, you won't be able to sit for long!
