VenTiki Lounge & Lanai has recieved special permission from City Hall for a one time chance to have the World Famous Surfer Joe play in Downtown Ventua. https://www.facebook.com/events/192244784454786/ No Reservations! Lorenzo Surfer Joe is truly one very active figure in modern surf music. Basically present to any world surf music event as artist or organizer, Lorenzo has collected an experience of way more than a thousand concerts since the late 90s. Constantly on tour in Europe and USA, Lorenzo had the honor to play on guitar or drums with several surf legends and he has shared the stage with many surf bands. Co-organizer of the yearly Surfer Joe Summer Festival, the most important surf music event in then world. Many times in the line up of the Surf Guitar 101 Convention in California. One of the headliners of the Surf-O-Rama in Spain and the North Sea Surf Festival in Holland. Within the first supporters and DJ of North Sea Surf Radio. Mentioned or interviewed in movies like Reverb Junkies and Sound Of The Surf and in books about surf music's history like Surf Beat by Kent Crowley and the scientific paper Surfing About Music by Tim Cooley. In August 2013 Lorenzo released his first solo album, SEÑOR SURF, which is considered one of the best traditional surf music albums of the past years. Out of this album, the song The North Swell has been voted within the 100 best surf revival songs ever. In April 2012 he opened, together with the brother Luca and a friend, the only diner and music venue dedicated to surf music, the Surfer Joe Diner, which periodically hosts concerts and international events. It now includes an American diner, a tiki bar and a large outdoor garden. THE MUSIC OF SURFER JOE THE CARIBBEAN YEARS The band was a trio line-up that Lorenzo started on drums changing to guitar one year later. Wadadli Riders were a traditional surf band, with a pretty classy style and several good original tunes next to a long list of classic covers.

Seeing as how Surfer Joe is here all the way from Italy, seems the least I can do is drive 35 miles north. Should be a fun show! Kevin |
