This year, we are lucky to have The Fabulous Nomads surf band play during the cruise-in event! The name Nomads is synonymous with waves, sunshine, music, and fun. The Fabulous Nomads, Orange County’s oldest surf band, were instrumental in keeping surf music alive and popular during the 80’s until its complete resurrection in the 90’s.
Music courtest of Erik Hansen and ’33 Machine.
