Songs about surfing, fun in the sun, big waves and girls on the beach with a touch of the Aloha spirit proving that every day is summer. Surf's up but watch out for drifting sand! Produced by Surfer Spud and Rick Escobar

Trad Instrumental Surf, dripping Reverb. Album is out of print but still be found on iTunes and streaming sites.

Inglas is the songs of Michael Nold dismantled and rebuilt by guitarist/arranger Rick Escobar and bassist/arranger Mark Fassett. The project began several years back as a creative experiment, and no genre or ideas were off limits. Everything was explored, as long as it served the song. The process was long and arduous, sometimes an entire recording session was spent on a single four bar phrase... getting the sound, phrasing, and feel just right.  

 A music video with social message and foot-tapping music is what “Diva Mom Song” is about. Directed by Archita Mandal Fallini and composed by Farhan Mohamed and Rick Escobar, this music video features nine real women across Silicon valley with a talented lead singer Ranjini Vijay.
