Jan & Dean's career is well documented in the annals of pop and surf music history. Their original run in the 1960's boasts an impressive 14 gold records and 26 chart records, including "Barbara Ann," "The Little Old Lady from Pasadena," "Dead Man's Curve," "Sidewalk Surfin,'" and "Ride the Wild Surf." Their biggest hit "Surf City," co-written by Jan & Dean and Beach Boys founder and musical genius Brian Wilson, was the first "surf music" record to reach #1 in the US. Reformed in the 1980's after a successful summer tour with The Beach Boys, Jan & Dean toured the country and the world until Jan Berry's untimely death in 2004. Carrying on with their legacy, Dean Torrence of Jan & Dean is proud to present The Jan & Dean Show.

"Wipe Out," "Surfer Joe" and others captured the sound of the early 1960's. Initially catapulted by the California surf culture, The Surfaris transcended the local scene into international stardom. Bob continues to play the music and tell the amazing story behind the music of The Surfaris. The band just celebrated the 50th Anniversary of "Wipe Out."
