With a heavy heart

My father, Charles "Charlie" Evan Shivers, passed away peacefully this morning at 9:20 am. He was an incredible man and father and I owe a great deal to him for his support and gift of music. Here's video of him (far left, sorry for poor quality) singing "The Old Rugged Cross" with his brothers.

Second annual Atlanta Food Truck Surf Fest (5/10)

Instro Summit 2014!

Instro Summit is THE largest surf/instrumental music festival in the world.  This year will be my third consecutive year performing with The Mystery Men? and first with MOONBASE.  The event has become somewhat of a family reunion of sorts and many of the groups performing I am honored to call friends.  Crispy Bess, promoter, has really outdone himself this year bringing in 28 astounding acts from across the US.  Held at Motorco Music Hall in Durham, NC May 16-18, check out this forum on Surf Guitar 101 for more details.
