Surf City

- The Jan and Dean Story

Bag om Surf City

Welcome to the musical vision of 1960s Southern California where the skies are always blue, and the summer lasts all year long. Riding high on the wave of the West Coast craze were the rock duo legends Jan Berry and Dean Torrence who played a pivotal role in crafting and popularizing the surf music styles and sound. Surf City is the story of Jan & Dean's rise to stardom told through the eyes of Dean Torrence. After meeting on their high school football team, the two quickly discovered their mutual love of singing. From harmonizing in the locker rooms, they soon went on to dominate the charts. With hit singles like "Surf City," "The Little Old Lady from Pasadena," and "Dead Man's Curve," Jan & Dean helped pioneer the California Sound that would sweep the nation. In Surf City, Torrence documents Jan & Dean's years of success followed by Jan's near-fatal accident and struggle with addiction. Filled with stories of Dean's time in the industry, including his long and storied relationship with The Beach Boys, anecdotes include a game of football with Elvis, scamming an ex-con, a near encounter with the Manson Family, and performing their first hit on Dick Clark's American Bandstand. Surf City encapsulates the vibe of Southern California surf music in the sixties as Jan and Dean live a rock-and-roll lifestyle filled with surfing, hot rods, sun, fun, and girls.
