June is Pride Month and The Current is celebrating all month long with special programming!

Did you know that June is also International Surf Music Month? Fans of the genre come together each year to celebrate the energy and twangs of surf music — both classic and new!

Acknowledging surf rock is especially important right now. On Wednesday, we learned the sad news that Brian Wilson from The Beach Boys has died at the age of 82.

Today, let’s get into a surfing state of mind with music!
