When it comes to unforgettable live performances, few groups light up a stage quite like The Tams. Known for their smooth harmonies, high-energy dance moves, and timeless beach music hits, The Tams have been winning over crowds for more than 60 years.

At Blue Sky Atlanta Music & Entertainment, we’re proud to feature The Tams as one of our top-tier artists—a true Southern soul legacy that continues to electrify audiences across generations.
A Legacy Built on Rhythm and Soul
The Tams got their start in Atlanta, Georgia, during the early 1960s, quickly making a name for themselves with their distinctive sound that blends R&B, doo-wop, and Carolina beach music. Their very first hit, “Untie Me,” launched their career and paved the way for a string of chart-topping classics like “What Kind of Fool (Do You Think I Am),” “Hey Girl Don’t Bother Me,” and the ever-popular “Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy.”
With over 45 years of performance history under their belt, The Tams are not just musicians—they're music icons. Their songs have become staples at beach music festivals, soul revivals, and shag dance parties throughout the Southeast and beyond.
But what truly sets The Tams apart is their showmanship. Every performance is a celebration—a full-on musical party where the band’s infectious energy, soulful vocals, and synchronized dance routines take center stage.
