Cascades Family Night.  7:30 PM.  Live Concert featuring SURF ZUP.  SURF ZUP is on a mission to bring back the great guitar instrumental hits from the 60’s. The musical genre known by many, is generally referred to as “Surf Music”. The formula is simple but powerful. Guitars, drums, catchy beats, great melodies, and plenty of reverb results in songs that are familiar to many.  The songs are played true to their original form. Vintage guitars, amps, effects and playing styles make it happen, just like it was in 1963.  We are purely an instrumental rock band. No vocals.  Just great guitars and drums.  Admission is $10 for up to 8 family members.  The Cascades.
