From Sardinia to Liguria and even Tuscany, Italy has surf spots. So it only makes sense that it would have surf-rock, too.

Lorenzo Valdambrini, from the Tuscan port city of Livorno has been a purveyor of it since 1995 and he’s 5,000 miles from home this weekend for a no-cover, soul food matinee at Ella's Americana Folk Art Cafe where his and his band Surfer Joe will regale the crowd with stories but even more of the Golden State-inspired saltwater rock that’s earned him the unofficial title of “international surf music ambassador.”

There's no cover to see Surfer Joe play Ella’s Americana Folk Art Cafe in Tampa on Sunday, Feb. 4.
