Surfliner

In the studio, Surfliner is Tyler Wyatt and Sam Worley, two young musicians from the choppy coastline of South Shore Massachusetts. Both self-taught musicians, the duo started recording demos in Worley's barn in their high school years. A few years of honing in on their inspiration culminated in their debut LP Kiska, released in January 2019.

With the addition of John Carlson of Asbury Park on bass, Surfliner took their act out of their hometown and across the Northeast. Out of high school, they experienced a period of profound growth both for each member individually and the project as a whole. The sound and style of the band picked up grittiness in the small clubs of New York City, sunniness at the Levitate Music and Arts Festival near Cape Cod, and introspection in the woods of Western Mass.

Now, Surfliner hits the stage as a 6-piece band, a far shot from their early days as a 4-piece surf rock outfit. Surfliner's live act will keep you on your toes: the group is unafraid to wind through all of the influences that shape their sound. Seconds after a dive-bombing bass solo from Carlson, you may hear a sweltering sax riff from Aidan Hobbs, blistering fills from drummer Harris Carlson, or soulful, sultry vocals from backup singer Tymie Jadagu. Studio life for Surfliner is equally adventurous. Constantly falling in love with new music across genres and international borders, they continue to gather an eclectic bundle of influences and refine them into one signature sound.
