Sanclementetimes.com - Grom of the Week: Dane Matson
The story goes that somewhere around 1963 or ’64, The Sandals were jamming in a garage in a house above T-Street. Young filmmaker Bruce Brown had just been surfing when he followed the music up the street and struck up a conversation with the band. Shortly thereafter, they were in Miles Davis’ Hollywood studio recording the soundtrack to Brown’s movie, The Endless Summer.
Point being, surfing and music go way back in San Clemente, and lately Dane Matson’s been keeping the tradition going with some loose jams with his buddies. Already a ripping surfer, he shreds on the guitar, too.
