One of the few instrumental songs originally performed by a British Invasion band. This song did have a link with The Beatles.

This Band Makes an Impression on Young and Old
In July 2022 while we were playing, a young man came up to me in the middle of one of my solos and handed me this note. It always is a great felling when someone tells you that they like your music, but this one really moved me. -- Jack
SURF ZUP is on a mission to bring back the great guitar instrumental hits from the 60's. The musical genre known by many, is generally referred to as "Surf Music". The formula is simple but powerful. Guitars, drums, catchy beats, great melodies, and plenty of reverb results in songs that are familiar to many.
The songs are played true to their original form. Vintage guitars, amps, effects and playing styles make it happen, just like it was in 1963.
We are purely an instrumental rock band. No vocals. Just great guitars and drums. If you dont know The Ventures music, you should. They were a huge part of rock and roll history, and an influence on countless rock icons.
You will never again be able to see the original Ventures play live.
We are the next best thing.
This just may be the best photo, ever. We are a happy meal for a new generation of fans!
It is no secret that SURF ZUP is heavily influenced by The Ventures.
Sadly, the original Ventures are deceased, but we hope their music will be eternal----

We are not just another local cover band playing the "Fake-book" versions of worn out blues and classic rock songs. We are a refreshing alternative, and we appeal to audiences across wide demographics.
We play the iconic surf guitar songs, along with popular TV themes and movie themes. They are all fun songs, and you will recognize them for sure.
SURF ZUP is an authentic surf band. We are the real deal.
Oh, and we are SURF ZUP, not SurfZup, or surfs up, or surfszup or surfs zup...
You can check for the latest news from the band, or communicate with us on Facebook.
