Surfer Joe, The Starhoppers
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 while showcasing his own style.
As co-organizer of the Surfer Joe Summer Festival in Italy, the greatest surf music event of the world, he’s earned the unofficial title of "international surf music ambassador.” The compositions of Surfer Joe are generally very melodic, appealing to attentive listeners, but also easily recognizable, 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. On stage, Surfer Joe likes to tell stories and anecdotes, keeps the interaction with the audience personal and funny, and he certainly has a lot to say since he has collaborated in many occasions with legends of the genre and played in all the original locations and venues.
Opening the show is space-surf band, The Starhoppers! Comprised of local musicians including Ferndale Music/The Old Steeple’s own Paul Beatie, the group is “a trio of musical hitchhikers on a journey through the cosmos exploring the ancient soul of rock n roll.”
