Welcome to the new SurfGuitar101.com! This format was launched on February 25, 2006.
This site combines my love for all things computer geekery and my other passion: instrumental surf music. I hope this site is useful for both surf fans and musicians, as it offers the following:
- Users can submit news, show announcements, show reports, reviews, etc. These stories can then be ranked and commented on by others. These stories are then archived on this site.
- Web based forum area to discuss all things related to surf music.
- A database of useful links.
- Surf music FAQ's.
- Photos of surf bands in action.
- An event calendar so people can quickly see what shows are coming up.
Stay tuned and I hope you enjoy the ride.
Surf's up!

Attention Surf Music Fans!
There are several exciting books and a DVD that every surf music fan must know about. We are very lucky these all seem to have hit about the same time.
First of all, John Blair (from Jon & The Nightriders) has just released the 4th Edition of his book The Illustrated Discography of Surf Music 1961-1965. Please check out our news story and forum thread.
Secondly, everyone should run out and grab a copy of The Pounding Surf, a combination surf music history and surf drumming instructional video. You can check out this story, this one, and this forum thread.
And finally, another new book: Pop Surf Culture Music, Design, Film, and Fashion from the Bohemian Surf Boom by Brian Chidester and Domenic Priore. Check out the publisher's website, and you can find it on Amazon. |

Discount for surfguitar101 members (Nokie Edwards Concert) | This item was submitted by surfrider_85.
Forgot to mention that the ticket price for the Nokie Edwards concert at the Brookdale Inn will be $20 but we've arranged for surfguitar101 members to get a discount if they buy online at the http://nokieedwards.eventbrite.com page.
Click on the button that says 'Discount Code' or something like that and type in "surfguitar101" and your ticket price drops to $15.
Also, the Brookdale Inn will be selling tickets in thier lobby very soon and they're offerring a discounted ticket price for fans that are planning on spending the night for the concert.
This show will also be recorded.
We'll try to keep everyone posted.
