Music: Rock/Pop Laramie Dean

  • Laramie_event_full

Surf-rock star Laramie Dean is a time traveler. Hailing from Hollywood, Florida, Dean's ripping, growling guitar transports anyone within earshot to 1960s California — an era of hot rods, b-movies, and buxom blondes. Although he's a local boy, Dean has amassed nationwide acclaim, much of it thanks to his apprenticeship with Dick Dale, the King of Surf Rock (whose rendition of "Misirlou" is the crown jewel of the Pulp Fiction soundtrack). Dean isn't riding his sensei's coattails however, having updated the '60s vibe with brash punk elements. Tonight, he plays the classics — as well as a few aspiring classics of his own — to celebrate the release of his new album.
