Surf's up at the Freight tonight as the Duo-tones, Paul Johnson (formerly of the Belairs, Packards, and Surfaris) and Gil Orr (formerly of the Chantays), play pure, essential surf music like you've never heard it before. Smooth and colorful as a beachside sunset, playful as a post-siesta breeze, this is the real stuff: no drums, no bass—just two surf masters and their guitars.

Providing refreshing takes on classics like "The Wedge," "Pipeline," "Mr. Moto," and "Walk, Don't Run," Paul and Gil's exquisitely delicate, fluid playing uncovers the clean, melodic lines of the music and spotlights the interplay between lead and rhythm guitars. Their first set lilts its way through the warm waves in acoustic bliss, then the two plug in for a rocking second set! The Duo-tones have released two albums, Surf Music Unplugged (Hep Cat), and last year's Plugged In And Live.
