Bonfire on a beach = COAST.

Bare feet, warm sand, sunsetting

on a Michigan shore with a fire dancing -

all are welcome.

COAST is engineered to be easy to host and memorable to experience: familiar songs, tasteful musicianship, controlled volume, and a low‑friction load‑in. The duo’s signature is “coastifying” recognizable hits—keeping the identity intact while shifting the feel toward a warm, beach‑lounge accent (often with light reggae/syncopation).

Based out of Holly, Michigan, Jake Long and Stephen Michael accidentally formed COAST in the summer of 2025 while sharing a gig together. Stephen reached out to Jake for a party in Boyne City, Michigan, where the hosts wanted “band energy but chill.” They set up on a patio next to a bonfire overlooking Lake Charlevoix and played from sunset into the night for a hundred of the friendliest people who showed us love like we were old pals - the best gig we had ever played. On the long drive home the next day, we agreed, “if every gig was a bonfire on a beach - life would pretty much be perfect.” Then . . . a long pause . . . “Why can’t we do that?”

With over 1,500 combined shows prior to forming COAST, Steve (vocals/guitar) and Jake (drum kit/cajon) have been full‑time musicians since 2018 in the Metro Detroit area, performing as solo entertainers and in various bands.
