Been liking some songs that have an island-like vibe to them. Ones we play that I think fit the description are:

Spanish Blue
Moon Over Catalina
Blue Venus
Zanzibar
Changing Tides
Fadeaway

Would love to add more similar songs like these. Can you think of any?

Thanks!

Look to Tikiyaki orchestra and tikiyaki 5-0,
But also, try to write some originals.

One of my favorites too Richard, but I also agree with Jeff - write some originals I'd be stoked to hear 'em.

Pickup Martin Cilia's album "Going to Kaleponi" - title track, and "Makua Beach" at least.

The Royal Aces original "Acapulco Surf" was written with a beach/island theme in mind. We were interested in adding such a tune, and decided to just write one instead of doing a cover - it's in the 2013 SG101 compilation, song number nine.
