The Aquatudes can play a driving showcase set, spotlighting our growing list of groovy original tunes, interspersed with our versions of classic surf-rock, rockabilly, and early rock 'n roll favorites. See below for videos of the Aquatudes in action!

We are also available to play up to a full 3- or 4-set show, with a carefully-collected songlist, which includes a variety of vocal and instrumental rock 'n roll tunes from the late-50's to early 60's, when surf music first hit. We also supply hula-hoops and percussion instruments for audience participation songs. Click HERE for a sample 4-set songlist. We include our best originals, which are invariably well-received by audiences!
