The Colorful Ventures

The Ventures

A 1961 concept record where every track is themed after a color. Drenched in spring reverb, it is the definitive sound of early surf and garage rock.

Find on Amazon

It's the ultimate 1960s guitar record where every song is a different color and the reverb never stops.

A bright, optimistic, and rhythmically driving collection of guitar instrumentals that feels like a summer day in 1961.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The bright, cascading guitar lines on Yellow Jacket that mimic the flight of an insect.
The surprisingly moody and slower-paced interpretation of Blue Moon that showcases their melodic restraint.
The driving, propulsive drum fills that bridge the melodic shifts in Orange Fire.
