Legends of Surf Guitar CD

Celebrate the reverb-soaked glory of instrumental surf rock with Legends of Surf Guitar, a historic live recording from the legendary 1995 Lighthouse concert in Hermosa Beach—available in limited quantities exclusively from our store. This once-in-a-lifetime event brought together originators and revivalists of the genre—from The Chantays, The Surfaris, and Davie Allan to modern torchbearers like Jon & The Nightriders and The Surf Raiders—backed by an all-star “back line” featuring Paul Johnson and members of The Turtles and Los Straitjackets. Captured with pristine audio by producer Mark Linett (The Beach Boys, Brian Wilson), the album is a powerful tribute to the twang, tremolo, and timeless energy that defined surf music. Featuring 25 blazing tracks and liner notes from surf music historians, musicians, and fans—including The Cars’ Elliot Easton and The Beach Boys’ Al Jardine—Legends of Surf Guitar is a must-have for collectors, surf fans, and anyone chasing that endless summer vibe. Don’t miss your chance to own this rare piece of surf music history!Let me know if you want a tagline or headline to go with it!
