About Little Kahuna:
Craig Skelly formed the band early in 2020 as a project to share ideas he had for new direction in songs to record which incorporated traditional surf, exotica, tiki music and bossa nova. The result is our first release “Little Kahuna”. We then added a second release “Lost Oasis” that added many styles of music and the addition of percussion for a more exotic and tiki sound. In 2023 we recorded our third album, “Summer by the Beach” which brought us more toward our surf music roots as well as more dreamy type surf songs. Our fourth album “Tumbleweed Tide” is an acoustic exploration of the American West and Southwest Deserts, Mountains and rugged landscapes.
We are heavily influenced by the Sandals (The Endless Summer soundtrack) , Dick Dale, the Ventures, the Chantays, The Astronauts, Los Straitjackets, the Belairs and the exotic sounds of Martin Denny. We’ve developed a Tiki-Infused instrumental surf sound unusual in the surf music community today.
This music is fun for us to create and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
