Event Details

This hour will treat you to the energy and beauty of California surf music. Musically we'll catch the early sets of creativity with Dick Dale, the Challengers, and the California Balboa Ballroom night scene. Then, hold on tight, here come The Ventures, Safaris, and The Chantays. This wave became a musical tsunami that celebrated the beach lifestyle. We’ll also enjoy waves from Australia and the Caribbean. Let’s catch the wave!
