The Dentures

About Me

This San Luis Obispo, CA based surf-fun-dance band collects and plays a wide range of surf music from the Ventures, the Surfaris, Dick Dale and the Deltones and many more, punctuating their sets with danceable arrangements and originals share a goodtime 60s vibe. Watch out for the goofy sense of humor. It seems to happen to a lot of us over 50. ;-)(Yes, its true, Nokie Edwards gave his blessing to the band's name!)
