history of surf music

Want to know about the history of surf music and the influence and inspiration for our music festival and the bands that will play at Third Coast Surf Fest 2023? Just click on the headings below to read some great articles on surf music style.  We thank all the websites who have made these articles publicly available.

Plenty of attention is given to the East and West Coasts, and the Gulf Coast gets its share, especially during hurricane season. Our beautiful Great Lakes coastlines are sometimes referred to as the "Third Coast" and the source of inspiration for naming our music festival.

We have uncovered some amazing surf guitar and classic rock talent around the Third Coast, so we decided to produce an event to highlight the music and musicians.  Third Coast Surf Fest is produced by Lyric & Lecture, an Illinois-based musical and educational talent agency.
