About the band

Bringing surf and classic rock to audiences across San Diego County.

The Surf Birdz are a high-energy surf and classic rock cover band based in sunny San Diego, California. Having played more than 250 shows across San Diego County, the band is known for dynamic live performances and crowd-pleasing set lists, delivering everything from timeless surf classics to iconic rock anthems that keep audiences engaged from the first note to the last.

All five members contribute vocals, giving the group the flexibility to cover material that calls for multiple and unique vocal parts. Carly Hines adds a distinctive touch on flute, Travis Gooden brings the guitar work that defines the band's surf and rock edge, Jackson Hines fills out the sound on keyboards, Billy Jolt holds down the low end on bass, and Chris Martinez drives the band with drumming that stays tight and energetic.

The band performs regularly at venues throughout San Diego County, including bars, clubs, festivals, yacht clubs, concerts in the park, and private events. With a repertoire spanning everything from The Beatles and The Beach Boys to Jimi Hendrix and Jethro Tull, The Surf Birdz bring variety and authenticity to a wide range of audiences and occasions.
