Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, Surf Instrumentals ( Ventures) Frankie Valli, Jersey Boys, all our specialty. All 60's 70's and a few 80's. Very versatile band. Mostly oldies. 9 yrs. with many references. Clean, neat, and family friendly. We are a busy band.
Reaching to the hearts of each one in attendance. All selections carefully chosen to create hand clapping, toe tapping, "sing along", smiling songs.
The results we strive for - " A Good Time Was Had By All"
This was a terrific and fun dance. I was happy to meet Dave. The rest of the band was great.
Response from The Southwest Surfers:
Anna,
Thanks so much, We are so fortunate to be allowed to sing such wonderful songs and experience such wonderful people coming to our venues with the intent of having fun.

I saw The Southwest Surfers perform in my retirement community in September. Everyone was dancing in their seats and singing on and off key. It was great. My birthday was earlier this month in October, and five other family members and myself saw them perform on the Desert Belle on Saguaro Lake. It was the best gift ever. They are so much fun. They had even the shy members of my party dancing in their seats and singing off key. A birthday I will always remember!
Response from The Southwest Surfers:
Amelia,
Thanks so much! We enjoy it as much as you do!
Dave
...watched a video and heard them in person...Hilarious! Great entertainment! The more they cut up on stage the less we noticed that they can't sing or play. But who cares? It was FUN!
Response from The Southwest Surfers:
Dave W,
I will take that as a compliment with the 5 star rate you gave. Dry humor is good I suppose. I suppose it IS humor?
Love humorous Folk.
Thanks so Much, Dave
For the past 10 years, the Southwest Surfers have been our favorite entertainers in the Phoenix Metro. I didn't think they could get any better, but the New (2019) Southwest Surfers have already equalled, and in some instances surpassed, the Old Southwest Surfers in so many ways. Not only are they all accomplished, professional musicians, but they also have just as much fun as we in the audience do.
We were at a show at Sun City West, and I told an elderly couple sitting in the second row that they were about to see the best band that had ever seen. When the show ended, the old gentleman told me that he thought I was nuts at first, but that he had to agree that I was right. Don't believe this review, but check them out yourselves.
Response from The Southwest Surfers:
Joe, 10 yrs. is a long time to like a band. And not "tire" of them. You are special to us as well.
Thanks so Much,
Dave
We've attended Southwest Surface shows more than 25 times in the last nine years. Every time, without exception, that we walk away from a show, it's with joy in our hearts and another unbelievable memory in our minds. We're so thankful to Dave and the guys for all the great memories that they've provided us.
Response from The Southwest Surfers:
JJ,how special, thank you so much.
We attended the show at Lost Dutchman RV last night and enjoyed the Southwest Surfers once again!!! We have seen them a few times before, but last night the guys were on a roll!! Terrific music, with a little comedy thrown in for fun! Thanks again for the great show. Will be looking forward to the next time!
Spent the evening in Anthem at Merrill Ranch Park listening to this great band. Thought we would stay for a while but was there til the very last song. My feet were tapping the entire time. So very versatile and really great sounds. Wish there would have been a dance floor. Ha e already like you on Facebook. We will seek you out as your schedule is posted.
Response from The Southwest Surfers:
Thank you so much. We are glad you enjoyed it and had a great time. Hope we get to see you again soon. We will be at Gold Canyon Golf Resort December 29, 2018 for our very own New Year's dance. Check it out at www.sunlandpromotions.com.
Just came back from an event at Merrill Ranch in Florence. If there was a dance floor I’m sure they would’ve had the crowd up dancing. Great performances buy all the singers and the solo acoustic were amazing. Looking forward to seeing them again.
Response from The Southwest Surfers:
Thank you so much. We are glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you again.
Took Dolly Friday nite to celebrate our wedding. Between getting married and listening to Dave and the crew was one of my best things Cheryl and I have ever done. This was at least 8 times we have been to their dances or show. Great time. See you guys New Years Eve!
Response from The Southwest Surfers:
Thank you Mike and Cheryl and congratulations on your marriage. We look forward to being with you again.
Just saw this group in Solera Chandler. They give an amazing show. Lots of fun and all very accomplished musicians with wonderful vocals.
Response from The Southwest Surfers:
Thank You Cheryl,
A first time audience. They were so much fun.

We had the pleasure of seeing the Southwest Surfers in Concert tonight @ Towerpoint here in Mesa. What a wonderful evening we enjoyed. We sang along and danced in our seats for more than 2 hours! The vocals and guitar works were 2nd to none. Like who did these guys play with before now?? WOW. Keep doing what you do Gentleman. You are the bomb!!!
Response from The Southwest Surfers:
Thank you so much for attending, we are glad you enjoyed the concert. Please check out our website www.thesouthwestsurfers.com
This past Saturday night we had the Southwest Surfers do a show in our park. They were terrific........fabulous.........tremendous
and any other similar descriptive word you can think of. The residents were pumped even before the show started and once the show started they were bouncing in their seats. Many residents said they were the best or one of the best shows ever on our stage. I agree. They are five "super talented" gentlemen..............and I mean gentlemen. Not only are they super talented, they are also wonderful guys to talk to and work with.

Raymond, Thanks so much. We really had a superb time with you and the other 1500 in attendance. It means much to us for you to take the effort to post such a compliment.
We will see you again.
Dave
I am from Canada and went to the Mesa Flea Market and overheard these guys. I ended up spending hours dancing to their music. They sing and harmonize great. Had a big crowd and truly the best day ever. Hope u guys come to Scottsdale. I will be back

Response from The Southwest Surfers:
Francine, thank you so much for the kind words. It is an exceptionally long day at the market but we love going there and meeting new people. Hope you are able to attend one of our other shows.
Older musician visiting family here, went to the flea market, These guys were the best thing there and there was alot of good stuff there. Great selections done the way were back in the day. Instruments were excellent but they were able to do all those Beach Boy, Beatles, Frankie Vallee harmonies just as well. All solid musicians who do their parts well, spot on. Wish we were here longer to see them again. But back soon to ND but my band will be visiting some of their material. Dave E
Response from The Southwest Surfers:
Dave, thank you for the kind words, coming from a fellow musician is quite a compliment. We will playing in Riverdale, ND July 14, 2018 if you are in the area, come see us.
Always a fun time with these very talented musicians. If you dig 60's and 70's music -- this is the primo band to see!! Also try to catch them when they're performing on the Desert Belle, what a cool fun and very reasonably priced time. I have the t-shirt with signatures to prove it :)))
Response from The Southwest Surfers:
Pam,
Thanks so much. Last year was our 6 th year on the boat. We do it because we enjoy the ride and the many fans who join us. We try to go about 6 times from April thru October. We now offer info and tickets on line at www.sunlandpromotions.com
Dave
Just got home from a great show. Lots of Beach Boys mixed in with other great 60's music. If you get a chance see this band.
Response from The Southwest Surfers:
Thank you for the kind words, this was our first time playing at your community and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. See you again
Wow, we love these guys. Every one of them are great musicians. The lead singer (Dave) has a great voice (from Beach Boys to Elvis), he does a fabulous job of communicating his great personality to the audience. Jim plays fabulous lead guitar but also sings the high (falsesetto) parts in most of the songs. In my opinion he does a better job singing "Sherry" then Frankie Valli does. Mike, is one of the smoothest bass players you will ever hear, he also has a great solo voice. John plays keyboards and guitar as well as doing a geat job singing lead in several songs. Darwell (drums) plays a couple of drum solos that will totally blow you away. He also has a very smooth voice. His rendition of "Cupid" will stick in your head for at least a week. As of today I have heard these guys SEVEN times. I have thoroughly enjoyed them at every event and can't wait to hear them again.
Response from The Southwest Surfers:
Larry, thank you for the kind words and all you have done for the us since becoming a follower. We look forward to seeing you at many more concerts.

If this is a "Beach Boy Tribute Show", We perform up to 1 hr. 30minutes and bring the audience to memories of their fastest car, favorite car, school colors, first kiss, etc. The audience is encouraged to sing along with these songs they know so well. Audience leaves event feeling those "young" feelings they have not experienced in many years. We receive compliments, words of gratitude, and praise from nearly everyone at the exit door after the event.
At a dance, we offer just the right songs for the evening. We are seasoned performers that know how to read the needs of the audience and fulfill those needs, ( high energy, medium, slow ) at the right time thru out the event. Our songs are clean and family friendly and we do not fulfill requests for inappropriate songs.
We are a vocal band with 4-5 instruments to accompany. We select songs that are hard to perform with detailed harmony. Most material we select is authentically copied with vocal and instruments. There is no lead singer in our band, as we are ALL lead singers. The age of our members are from 45 to 65 and we display energy and show that we genuinely enjoy what we do! We perform true oldies (60's, 70,s) with an emphasis on Beach Boys material. We bring back memories and where applicable, involve audience interaction. Favorite cars, fastest cars, school colors, first kiss, etc. We work hard and give you more than what you pay for. At this time, we have 50 repeat customers who use our service year after year. We have left no disappointed clients in five year history. Upon finishing the event, clients are looking for another reason to involve us again. Please plan your booking well in advance, as we have many bookings a year in advance. Our intent is to see that you get much praise from your participants for making this great decision to bring us to your event. What you see and hear is what you get, no surprises. (Except that we are continually improving year after year) Please come to one of our events prior to booking if you would like. Thank You for your consideration, Dave, John, Jim, Ron & Jimmy
We have sound equipment for large outdoor or indoor venues. We furnish lighting where needed. We need two electrical circuits, one for sound, one for lights.
We pay our own ASCAP fees and carry insurance (both are rare with any band) to protect your patrons and building in the event of an accident. We are professionals and conduct ourselves as such. We do not drink or partake of any other mind altering substance before or on the job.
