Jon & The Nightriders

Jon & the Nightriders released several albums and singles during the early 1980s: 'Surf Beat ’80' (1980), 'Live at the Whiskey A-Go-Go' (1981), 'Charge of the Nightriders' (1984), 'Splashback' EP (1982), and 'Stampede' (1986). The high-energy reverberated sounds of Jon & the Nightriders featured traditional surf arrangements and instrumentation. The band featured future Slacktone members Dusty Watson on drums and Dave Wronski on guitar. Surf historian John Blair composed many tracks and was featured on reverberated lead guitar. Ultimately, John Blair would write the authoritative "Illustrated Discography of Surf Music 1961-1965".
