Today we chat with Vincent Minervino. Vincent is a man of many talents. He runs and organizes the Asbury Park Surf Music Festival, runs and manages Hi-Tide Recordings and drums for the surf music band Black Flamingos. We sat down for a chat at The Reef when they were on their Winter West Coast Tour and talked a little bit about what it's like to pioneer surf music in New Jersey!
