Ladies and gentlemen, this is the official poster of the Surfer Joe Summer Festival 2015.
The designer STEVE NAZAR has come to surf music after our request for the very fist time. His graphic style has become legendary with Town&Country Surf Design in the late 80s. He's THE man, his style has been imitated everywhere as a symbol of wild, cool & sporty. His characters has been replicated in walls all over the planet.
He realised 2 fantastic custom designs for us. One of the two is this one. The other, still a surprise, will be soon available with our merchandise for the festival.
The posters will be available at the festival in A3 format, glossy heavy paper 300gr. You can reserve one if you like, just write us asap at info@surferjoemusic.com. The cost of the poster is 5 euros. Bring your marker and get your copy signed by all artists!
Enjoy.

Howdy Campers!
It's that time of year again - time to sign up for Sierra Surf Music Camp! What the heck is SSMC you may wonder? It is the ultimate weekend camping out with some of the finest surf musicians and people on the planet! The camp is located near the historic gold mining town of Nevada City at a beautifully wooded 4,000-foot elevation and is situated beside the picturesque Bear River. Surf jams start the weekend off before groups of campers are assembled into SurfBand101 classes. Through rehearsals and one-on-one lessons with pro musicians like John Blair, Dusty Watson, Dave Wronski, Ferenc Dobronyi, Matt Quilter, and many others, campers will learn to improve their skills on their instrument. Classes will also be offered in songwriting, the history of surf music, instrument set-up/maintenance, and ukulele. Each day culminates with surf music by the campfire and at the end of camp each SurfBand101 group will perform what they’ve learned. SSMC is open to all ages and levels of musicians and families are strongly encouraged to attend.
May 28-31, 2015

My band is playing at Suzy's in Hermosa Beach, Jan 15, from 8 to 11. It's our first show and we're playing 3 sets (from 8 to 11), so guaranteed I'll screw up a time or two (or several). Come watch the train wreck. Our set list is all surf/instro standards. Show is free and we are the worst named surf band in So. Cal: Red Surf
Hope to see one or two of you there, should be a good time, and I'll welcome constructive criticism. Cheers.
