The band should be called "All in the Family". The Ringleader Tom "Wart" Craig,
rhythm guitarist, moved to the area to attend Cal Poly in 1970. His deep rooted
music and surfing background was instilled by his father, one of the original members
of San Onofre Surfing Club back in the 30's!
Tom's son, Cody, is the youngster in the group and is the pounding drum that drives
the band. He also is a very stylistic surfer and has traveled the world doing what he
does best.
Cody's brother-in-law, Steve Sweeney, is our Musicologist. He migrated to the area
over twenty years ago and has performed in many venues. His music background is
unsurpassed and he shines as lead guitarist with his new Fender Stratocaster.
Bass player, Ryk Kluver, isn't direct family, but may as well be. He eats at our house
more than his own. Ryk's is a multi-talented individual. He not only plays a Leo
Keotke twelve string, he makes ukuleles and classic wooden paddleboards.
Besides playing music, the WAVEHOGS all surf. We got to talking the other day and
realiz
ed the four of us have over 140 years of surfing under our belt. For that cool
classic sound of instrumental surf music, The WAVEHOGS are just what you are
looking for! HANG TEN!
