The Tourmaliners are highly acclaimed, having earned two San Diego Music Awards, landed on a Grammy ballot, and twice won “Album Of The Year” in Pipeline Instrumental Review (UK).

Surf music’s reverb-drenched guitars likely played a larger role in Berryhill’s upbringing than they did for most of the other kids on his block. His father, Bob Berryhill, is a founding member of The Surfaris and co-author of their hit “Wipe Out.”” - Dryw Keltz
