Summer 2018; Dionysus Records and Italy’s LORENZO SURFER JOE has teamed up to release the Swell of Dwell LP!
SURFER JOE is one of the hardest working men in modern surf music,! SURFER JOE plays in the traditional surf style, with tones, melodies, and rhythm patterns that are immediate identifiers of the genre. SURFER JOE plays the most aggressive tunes a-la DICK DALE, and seamlessly switches to mellow and sentimental ballads, giving an extraordinary attention to the quality of the melodies. Swell of Dwell is SURFER JOE‘s latest release, and first appearance on Dionysus Records!
In addition to his world-renown reputation as a surf guitarist with a discography of over 14 releases solo and in conjunction with other groups and musicians, LORENZO “SURFER JOE” VALDAMBRINI is the co-organizer of the yearly Surfer Joe Summer Festival, the most important, prestigious, and awaited surf music event in then world, has headlined many surf festivals worldwide, and is the co-owner of the only restaurant, tiki bar and music venue dedicated to surf music, the Surfer Joe Diner in Livorno Italy which periodically hosts concerts and international events.
Swell of Dwell is distributed worldwide by ILD, www.ildistro.com and can be purchased directly from Dionysus Records at this link
