  Permanent Vacation
 

Permanent Vacation is a cover band from Charleston, South Carolina that has a carefree attitude and guarantees a great time at every show. Our sets consist of various cover songs from beach music (Jimmy Buffett, The Drifters), to classics (The Beatles, Rod Stewart), as well as some modern favorites (Billy Joel, Counting Crows). Charleston seems to be missing a band that plays these time-proven favorites. Permanent Vacation is here to fill that void.

Our easygoing personalities aim to please you in any way possible. We can also adjust our sets and songs to fit your occasion. Our main goal is to get everyone up dancing and singing along to the songs that they already know and love! Check out the song list on our web site and let us know what you want to hear in advance!

We have previously been hired to perform at Blackbaud Stadium (home of the Charleston Battery soccer team) as well as for weddings, several fraternity social events, and oyster roasts. We have opened for the East Coast Party Band at the Blessing of the Fleet in Mt. Pleasant.

Our price depends upon the event and the duration of playing, but we will be happy to work within your budget. We have performed for private parties as well as larger concert-type settings. At many functions, DJs are common. Set yourself apart from the average party and let us entertain you!
