MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) – Every year in May, sounds of Screaming Eagle mufflers fill the air along the Grand Strand for the annual spring Bike Week rally.
The area is bracing for even more action this year during a pent-up surge in travel and activity following strict pandemic lockdowns. Restaurants, hotels, law enforcement, even medical personnel are planning on additional resources.
At the center of activity is a biker bar in Murrells Inlet called Suck, Bang Blow, because that's what the featured old technology of a Harley engine does. The bar's promotion touts, "10 days of hot girls tending 17 bars with live music all day and night featuring the rockin' outdoor stage which can be seen from all of the decks, rooftops, and bridge."
Bikers can put their rides in the "burnout pit" inside the bar and rev their engines while trying to blow a tire. The bar even has a tire service on hand just in case they do. Patrons also can watch 30 bands from the rooftop or surrounding area this year:
Bands this year include Blackberry Smoke, Colt Ford, Whitey Morgan and the 78s, Saliva Davisson Brothers, Cowboy Kid Rock, Whey Jennings, Jasmine Cain, Sunny Ledfurd, Piedmont Boys, Dirty Grass Soul, Josh Brannon, Rick Monroe, Devils Cut, Joe Santana, Lowlife, Backline, Kevin Nichols, Stell Country Express, Ashley Martin, Barnyard Stompers, Matt Craine, Badcash, Aaron Hamm, Power Born Rebellion, Smoking' Joe, Burnin Blues Band, Coman Spoles, DJ Shtty Bill, DJ Kyle, Jack Schit and DJ Mayhem.
