Euclid Beach Band
The Euclid Beach Band was a rock band from Cleveland, Ohio best known for their local hit song "There's No Surf in Cleveland". The band was formed in 1978 by ''Scene'' magazine editor Jim Girard and Rich Reising, a guitarist in Eric Carmen's band who also worked at ''Scene''. The group took its name from Euclid Beach Park, a defunct amusement park which closed in 1969. "There's No Surf in Cleveland" was written by Girard and Reising as a "pro-Cleveland song" at a time when the city's reputation was waning. The song is performed in the style of the Beach Boys with elaborate vocal harmonies by Pete Hewlett and John Hart. It was recorded with various local musicians during the Great Blizzard of 1978 and after seeing television coverage of Red Cross volunteers rescuing people during the storm, all proceeds from the record were donated to the Cleveland Chapter of the American Red Cross. The record was released in May 1978 and quickly became the top selling single in the Cleveland area a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
