BONGO SURF formed at the Jersey Shore when a group of friends
combined their love of surfing and music (and margaritas) and played
their first gig opening up for surf-guitar legend Dick Dale.
Currently based in Jersey City, the band now features six-string guru Dane Johnson at
the helm, with brothers Dave and Mark Stellmach (guitar and percussion), Chris Poppe (bass) and Chris Edelson (drums). Bongo Surf will get you groovin’ to instrumental surf
classics of the 60’s, playing hits from The Ventures, Dick Dale, The
Chantays, The Surfaris, and more. With reverb drenched guitar twang
and a splash of latin rhythm, this is the sound of summer!
