San Diego Surf Film Festival

Montalban Quintet is proud to participate in this year’s San Diego Surf Film Festival. Read about it here in the SD CityBeat. We play on Sat May 11 from 6-7 between some of the screenings. Bird’s Surf Shed is hosting it and it’s worth the price of admission to see all the vintage boards. Amazing!
