Back at the windjammer and charleston showed up!
There are nights that remind us exactly why we do this. Last Saturday at The Windjammer was one of them.
Windjammer - March 21, 2026 - Rock the 90s
This past Saturday (March 21, 2026) we returned to one of our favorite stages on the East Coast — The Windjammer on Isle of Palms, South Carolina — and Charleston did exactly what Charleston always does. They showed up.
Nearly 900 people packed into the beach at The Nutrl Beach Stage and didn't hold back for a single song. The sing alongs were loud enough that we could hear the crowd over the monitors — and for a band running in-ear monitors, that's saying something. Moments like that remind you why you do this.
But to understand what Saturday night meant, you have to go back to March 18, 2017.
We were still Broadcast 90 back then with only a handful of shows under our belt. A young band with a big vision made a call to one of the Southeast's most iconic beachfront stages. For a new band with no real traction outside of Georgia, landing a booking at The Windjammer was the kind of thing that simply doesn't happen. But The Windjammer said yes.
We walked into a packed house of screaming 90s fans that night and looked at each other like — wait, is this real? It was the kind of show that tells a young band they might actually be onto something. That poster from that first night — Broadcast 90 on the marquee — is a piece of our history we'll never forget.
Nine years later and stronger than ever - now as Rock the 90s. Different name. Evolved lineup. Same mission. And Charleston was waiting.
We've shared many nights on that stage since 2017, and every single one has reinforced why Charleston holds a special place in this band's story.
What made Saturday night extra special wasn't just the crowd size. It was the conversations afterwards. Fans who were there in 2017 and some seeing us for the 7th or 8th time is something we don’t take lightly. Some were saying this was the best show yet. That means everything to us.
This is our 11th year in existence as a band. Through that time we've navigated lineup changes and grown stronger with every chapter. Hugh, Lance, and Lewis Smith have been there since day one — original members who have seen every version of this band. Today we stand with what is without question our strongest lineup ever, and that shows every time we take the stage. Eleven years of tightening the show, expanding the setlist across the full decade — rock, hip-hop, R&B, and pop, and growing into a nationally touring 90s tribute act playing stages across 13 states. The evolution speaks for itself.
Rock the 90s - First show at The Windjammer, March 18, 2017
There's something humbling about being a band that has built one of its strongest markets 260 miles away from home on the South Carolina coast. Charleston didn't have to embrace us. But they did — early, loudly, and consistently. Nine years ago, The Windjammer took a chance on a band they'd never heard of at the time, and that relationship has grown into something we genuinely treasure.
To everyone who came out Saturday night — thank you. To The Windjammer — as always, it's an honor.
To the Windjammer crew — Bobby, Garce, Scottie, JJ, Dwayne, and the rest of the team — thank you. Nine years and counting.
We'll see you soon Charleston — we're coming back this summer.
Catch us at The Windjammer and Party at the Point this summer. Check our tour dates for details.
