A dive into Seattle’s surf rock scene

Seattle’s music scene has a band, and a bar, for everyone.

Even fans of surf rock, a genre that’s been around since the 60s, the days of Dick Dale and the Beach Boys.

There’s plenty of bands playing it in a small, but passionate, scene in Seattle.

KUOW Web Editor Dyer Oxley is here to tell us where to find it.
