Drifting sand, caused by the force of the planet’s winds, has been around for over 600 million years. Then in the early 90’s, two dudes named Surfer Spud and Surfer John wrote, recorded and released a double “A” sided single “Birds Can’t Surf” / “Shark! Shark!” on their own label called Pina Colada Records. After being named after a sign on California’s Highway One and evolving into a four-piece, Drifting Sand went on to record three full-length albums, Surfpop, Drifting Sand and Summer Splash and performed hundreds of shows all over the San Francisco Bay Area and Santa Cruz for the next three decades. Drifting Sand have also released songs as their winter alter-ego band Drifting Snow.

With songs like “Surfin’ With Britney,” “Sand Is Your Friend,” “Beach Tour USA,” “Every Day Is Summer” and their latest single “Best Summer Ever,” Drifting Sand have received regular airplay on Rodney Bingenheimer’s show on the world-famous KROQ and now SiriusXM plus many surf and California music specialty shows around the world. Drifting Sand have opened up for legendary performers like Al Jardine of The Beach Boys, Dick Dale, Nancy Sinatra, The Surfaris, Badfinger and have performed many benefits for The Surfrider Foundation, Pacifica Beach Coalition and other charitable organizations. Drifting Sand continue to entertain surfers, kooks and beach bunnies of all ages and are your beachin’ soundtrack for the summer.

Surf’s up but watch out for Drifting Sand!
