The group name belongs to John McElrath who started the group back in the 60's so nobody is "riding" on daddy's coat tails - this is his idea, and he occasionally sings with them!!!
We saw the originals (or close) beginning in 1965. John McElrath was the leader then and still is (I saw him singing in one video). His two sons, Shane and Shawn are in this group. We followed them just about everywhere. They were great and still really sound about the same, but we had favorites in the old group, a couple of which have passed away. These guys are great too though!
Either these guys haven't aged or these aren't the original members. This is not what I expected when I clicked on this video, but, whoever these guys are still sound good and the band is damn tight. I'd go see these guys, even if they aren't the original Swingin' Medallions.
My uncle Johnny Cox played sax in the Swingin' Medallions having joined them in 1967. :)

Not the originals...but some are descendants of the originals...and you never, know, you might see an original member or two playing with them.
