Surfer Joe - The International Surf Music Ambassador
Surfer Joe has been involved in the surf music scene since the middle of the 90s, building up his name
worldwide as musician and organiser of events. By currently playing more than a hundred concerts a year
around the world, Surfer Joe is the most active artist in modern surf music. He has participated in most
surf related events and he is mentioned or interviewed in books and movies. His frenetic touring activity
shows that this small genre deserves attention because it is still very alive and interesting, with many
records released and new bands forming every year.
Surfer Joe represents the true, authentic side of surf music, carrying on the legacy of the original
Californian bands of the early 60s with their sound and energy, but of course showcasing his own style.
The compositions of Surfer Joe are generally very melodic, appealing to attentive listeners, but also easily
recognisable, memorable and accessible to any kind of audience, so that someone defined his records as
“instant classics”. The live show is loaded with great energy, it’s extremely dynamic, but also powerful
when necessary, featuring the most typical reverb-drenched surf sounds.
