Renn Loren and the Honky Tonk Surf Riders will be moving and grooving at Center Stage, 3426 Ryan St., Friday evening during their Hawaiian Luau Beach Party 9-11 p.m., with doors opening at 8 p.m.
Loren, a native of Hawaii who has lived in Norway for two decades, said his band is made up of several Lake Area musicians. He described the sounds of the band as “honky-tonk tiki rock” that is “raw and real.”
“It’s kind of a hybrid of American music,” Loren said.
There are touches of Latin, zydeco and Cajun mixed throughout, along with a country and tropical feel, he added.
Although Loren and the others have been a part of the music industry for some time, the band has only been officially together for a few months, said manager Melinda Mose.
“You would think they’ve been together forever,” she said.
Loren is the lead vocal and guitarist, Johnny Briggs is on steel guitar, Randy Randolph plays drums, Cory Compton is the bass player, and Taylor Moon Manuel also plays guitar.
Party attendees will have the opportunity to be a part of the band’s music video, which will be filmed at the party.
The video is to help kick start the band and will be used for promotional purposes. Mose and Loren encourage everyone to come out and participate and just be themselves while the cameras are rolling.
“We’re going to film a video, and we want our friends from Lake Charles to be there,” Loren said.
Mose added that the Honky Tonk Surf Riders play music perfect for dancing.
Attendees can participate in hula contests and “most original sarong.” Mose asks that no one wear bikinis for the party and video shoot.
There is a $5 cover, and all of the proceeds go to fund the band. Food like barbecue chicken, potatoes and baked beans will be provided.
