The music of The Beach Boys is like an old friend, outlasting trends and standing the test of time and taking you back to summer days in the sand.
Join the finest Beach Boys tribute band — The Southwest Surfers — for a tribute to the music of one of the most beloved classic bands ever to grace the stage and the beach.
The Southwest Surfers will bring their tribute to the music of The Beach Boys to the Beach Party at the Ranch event on Saturday, Sept. 14, presented by the Sedona International Film Festival.
This fundraising event will include an outdoor concert on the lawn of the Indian Creek Ranch in Cornville and a beach barbecue and hog roast. It is a full moon night, so the evening and concert promise to be truly magical. The Southwest Surfers have been providing a fun and entertaining musical experience to sellout crowds since 2009. The group was formed with the express purpose of re-creating the sound of the Beach Boys and takes pride in doing exactly that.
The band is known for its impeccably smooth four- and five-part vocal harmony and rock solid instrumentation. The Southwest Surfers provide their fans with more than great music: it’s an interactive show that has patrons dancing in their seats and singing to every song.
Bring lawn chairs or blankets for this special outdoor concert event under the full moon and stars. You will be treated to a Hawaiian beach barbecue hog roast meal catered by a company that was the undefeated winner of four recent whole hog contests.
“We are making it a total fun-in-the-sun, beach-themed event,” said Patrick Schweiss, SIFF’s executive director. “Put on your best beach attire and join us for a fun-filled outdoor concert.”
Prizes will be awarded for the “Best of the Beach” costumes. Plus, there will be other fun raffles and “Beach Blanket Bingo” events throughout the evening.
Earle Weatherwax will host this year’s event at Georgia and Earle’s Indian Creek Ranch in Cornville. He is a supporter, former board member and friend of the Sedona International Film Festival.
In the words of the Beach Boys, “we’re going to have ‘fun, fun, fun’ and experience lots of ‘good vibrations’ as we go ‘Surfin’ USA.’ ‘Wouldn’t it be nice’ if you would join us?” the film festival stated.
Beach Party at the Ranch will take place at 5:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 14. Tickets are $55 per person. A limited number of VIP cabana tables are available for $800 for up to 10 guests. All tickets include the concert, the beach barbecue hog roast and a non-alcoholic beverage. There will also be a no-host, cash bar available.
