Gremmy Awards 2025: Best Album Art

Gremmy Awards Best Album Art 2025

The first Gremmy category is a bit of an outlier, as it doesn't really pertain to surf music itself. Album art! However, I think surf as a genre has had a pretty strong visual identity over the years, dating all the way back to its inception. The value of this feels even stronger now that so many bands are simply generating pictures of a surfer riding a huge wave 5 feet from the shore (why is it always like that?). Plus, The Grammys have this category, why shouldn't I?

SurfGuitar101 Festival 2025: Day 3

The Surf Coasters at SG101 2025

It was Sunday, the final day of the Surfguitar101 Festival. I wanted to take the morning to appreciate Long Beach a little bit more, and this time it took the form of a nice run along the beach. I try to take advantage of exercising in other climates when I can because home is 95 degrees and 100% humidity. I wish that I had had the opportunity to do things like this on Thursday or maybe Friday morning, but alas, getting here was a nightmare (see Day 1 post) so this was my opportunity. After a little breakfast, I headed over to the Golden Sails for one last day of surf music.
