Southern Surf Stomp! presents Zarinah & the Zaratans, The WheelKnockers, Forbidden Waves

The Zaratans return to the Southern Surf Stomp! with a singer (gasp) to perform for you some swingin' 60's surf and pop music.  Also returning are The Wheel Knockers, with their twangy indie-rock.  You may have seen their front man Daniel McNeill aka Jet Powers on the mic as our emcee for this past weekend's festival.  We're happy to welcome newcomers Forbidden Waves, whom I caught for the first time in Athens last Sunday and they are super fun, loud, and incorporate everything from rockabilly to psychedelic stoner-rock into their instrumentals.
