I had a great conversation with Jim Abrahams, the lead guitar player of the surf instrumental band The Breakers. We discussed all the work that he and his friends did for the Surf Rally For Cali: Fire Relief Compilation, featuring various artists.

Surf Instro Review: The Cocktail Preachers-Nothing Much Happening...
They are successful in covering all sub-genres with an assortment
of high-energy, power-packed surf tunes.
The use of the saxophone always creates a different dimension to
the music. This is what will separate them from the pack.
There aren't too many surf groups that use the sax. This was too
short for me, I enjoyed it, so I wanted more! I look forward to a full-length
release.
Look for their work on an upcoming Del-Fi compilation called Surf
Monsters, due out in late May.
A lot is happening in Chicago. Perhaps the title refers to the fact that they don't surf in Chicago, so nothing is happening? The future looks bright for the Cocktail Preachers. Somebody sign these guys so we can hear a full-length CD!
