"Surf Hat Announces Fall Tour After 30 Million Streams"

Squamish, BC’s beloved psych surf rock band, Surf Hat, is all set to embark on an exciting fall North American tour after hitting an impressive milestone of 30 million streams and views. Known for their unique sound that blends beach vibes with mountain influences, Surf Hat will take their latest album, ‘Modern World Blues,’ on the road, performing at various venues across Canada and the United States.

This tour represents a significant step in Surf Hat’s journey, which has been characterized by persistent growth rather than viral fame. The band is rooted deeply in the lush landscapes of British Columbia, crafting their music with a distinctive style that combines elements reminiscent of artists like Allah-Las and Talking Heads. Their performances promise to deliver a mix of surfy guitar rock and funky synth melodies, aiming to recreate the joyful sound of beach days, despite the chill of mountain surroundings.

Kicking off on September 30 in Ottawa, the autumn tour will span several cities including Montreal, Toronto, and the Cicada Music & Arts Fest in St. Catharines, before heading south to the United States. These dates will feature guest artists including Mo Lowda & The Humble and Twin Fin, showcasing a collaborative spirit that has been integral to their evolution as a band.

Surf Hat’s rise can be traced back to 2022, with founding members Jon Allan and Evan Camm making a pact to create something fresh during a beachside encounter in Tofino. Their ethos of authenticity comes to life in their songwriting, which has resulted in three full-length albums thus far. The latest, released in November 2025, has broadened their creative reach while maintaining their signature laid-back vibe.

After their stint in the United States, the band will return to their roots for a series of intimate shows in British Columbia and Alberta. These performances will allow them to connect deeply with fans in familiar settings, culminating in a hometown show in Squamish on November 28, where it’s clear that their journey has come full circle.

As Surf Hat prepares for this tour, they invite audiences to experience their music the way it was intended—live, loud, and carefree. Fans new and old can look forward to spectacular performances filled with energy and a shared love for good music.

Make sure you catch them on tour to witness their energetic live shows and enjoy a unique sound that captures the heart of the coast and the spirit of the mountains.
