This summer Steve Rondo is bringing his East Coast Surf Tour titled ‘Wrapped Up In A Feeling’ to small coastal communities from New England to the Outer Banks—playing intimate rooms and beach bar stages documenting the music, people, and surf culture along the way to be featured in a music/surf film
Rondo has built a following across the Northeast, touring beach towns, dive bars, and regional festivals. Songs like Flowers of La Jolla and Afternoon Rebellion showcase his blend of heartfelt storytelling and guitar-driven arrangements — music made for long drives and reflection.
A surfer at heart, Rondo brings coastal atmosphere into his songwriting. His songs mirror the ocean’s push and pull — building into anthemic choruses before settling into calm. Themes of freedom, uncertainty, and searching for direction run throughout his work, capturing the feeling of chasing waves and dreams.
Live, Rondo and his band balance raw emotion with communal energy. Highlights include opening for Dermot Kennedy in Portland, Maine in 2022, plus performances at Levitate Music Festival and 92.5 The River’s Riverfest, cementing their reputation as a rising live act in the region.
His latest releases expand his sound while staying true to what defines it: honest lyrics, dynamic rock arrangements, and the wide-open feeling of life close to the water.
Steve Rondo’s music is for anyone navigating the space between where they are and where they’re headed — best played loud, windows down, somewhere near the coast.
