Did you know there is a huge underground movement of modern Surf Music today? Everything from dyed-in-the-wool vintage purists who try to recreate the 60's look and sound exactly, to modern masked and costumed marvels taking the genre to it's utmost theatrical extremes. Fact is, there are probably more Surf bands actively touring and recording/releasing new original music today than there were during the original "first wave" of Surf from 1960 to 1967. In fact, there are a few of them based right here in HUNTSVILLE and the Tennessee Valley. There is a scene happening right here, right now. BE A PART OF IT.
If you'd like to be part of a modern surf band that plays ORIGINAL music as well as a few old classics, but is not simply a nostalgia trip, then give me a shout. I have years of professional band experience, write and play multiple instruments, and own a ton of vintage-correct 60's-style gear. Looking for any of the following: Guitar, Bass, Drums, Percussion, Keyboard/Organist, Sax (alto or tenor). Let's get something together in time for a few Summer gigs.
