The Playaz have agreed to perform once again with the great Sonny James at the Fourth of July Jamboree to be held at the Pavillion in Myrtle Beach. Sonny and the Playaz will be headlining the event that will feature artists such as Tom Wopat, Ray Stevens, Lee Greenwood, and Bell-Biv-Devoe.

The Playaz have not performed with James since 1981 during James's infamous "Red Mud Tour". While a bit out of practice, the Playaz admit they are honing their musical skills to recapture the magic of the Red Mud Tour, that drew record crowds and was performed at race tracks all over the country.

Sonny will once again play guitar and sing lead vocal. The other Playaz will play their old instruments the fans came to know them for in the 60s & 70s:

Phil: Washboard
Wayne: Flute / recorder
Manny: Jug
Tac: Fiddle
Bon: Accordion
