The air was clean, music refreshingly innocent, and in Cupertino California, a small, pre-Silicon Valley town just south of San Francisco near Santa Cruz, 4 high school buddies got together to form a garage band. This was not just any garage band - this band was special. They would succeed where others would fail - they would continue where others would die off. They had a focus where other bands just rambled. They wore suits! (and this was the 60’s). They believed that "good enough" never was. PAPA DOO RUN RUN (their name derived from the background line of Jan & Dean's New Girl in School), established a solid performance schedule, playing as many as 200 dates a year, worldwide. 1965 After meeting limited success with a few recording ventures in the 60's and early 70's, PAPA DOO RUN RUN caught the big wave with Be True To Your School (1975, RCA), produced by their friend Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys. That single cracked the Billboard Top 40 chart, and hit No. 1 in California, earning them "KAHUNA" status among the veteran surf legends of the day. The flip side was a song called Disney Girls, which opened the door for what was to 1975 become a 15 year run at Disneyland, as the "celebrity house band" (1975-90). Be True... was followed by a string of singles and EP's, all of which received a respectable amount of airplay. PAPA DOO RUN RUN's most significant recording accolade is a GOLD RECORD award and a GRAMMY nomination for their California Project CD (1985, Telarc Records). Since that time, PAPA has released 6 other CDs, including their critically acclaimed, all original album Santa Cruz (2001, Blue Pacific Records). In the early 70’s PAPA met Jan & Dean (who had stopped performing in 1966 because of Jan’s debilitating car accident) and convinced the duo to get back together. After a series of 1981 very successful “trial concerts”, came 5 years of nationwide tours, a CBS-TV movie (Deadman’s Curve ) and soundtrack 1988 album. In the early 80s PAPA left Jan & Dean and for the next 2 decades, performed and recorded with members of the Beach Boys. PAPA DOO RUN RUN has also appeared in concert with such luminaries as Roy Orbison, Fleetwood Mac, Kenny Loggins, Chicago, Jimmy Buffett, and a zillion other huge names. Their most notable performances include two Olympics, eight Super Bowls, and two Inaugurations. In 1988, PAPA was dubbed "CALIFORNIA'S BAND" by California's then Governor Dukmejian. PAPA DOO RUN RUN’s lineup today includes: Don Zirilli - keyboards and vocals, Jim Rush - bass and 1998 vocals, (both of whom are original members since 1965); Adrian Baker - guitar and vocals, who for 20 years was a member of the Beach Boys, and prior to that was with Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons; Bobby “G” Gothar - guitar and vocals, who has performed with Merle Haggard, and Charlie Daniels; studio drummer Bo Fox, who throughout the 80’s toured with Jimmy Buffett and the Eagles; and (when he’s not touring with Brian Wilson), Jeffrey Foskett - lead vocalist and guitarist for the Beach Boys from 1980-90. 2005 SONGS SIXTIES-SURF MORE CLASSIC ROCK BARBARA ANN BEACH BOYS DAY TRIPPER BEATLES BE TRUE TO SCHOOL PAPA DOO RUN RUN DEVIL W/BLUE DRESS MITCH RIDER CALIFORNIA GIRLS BEACH BOYS DO WAH DITTY MANFRED MAN DANCE DANCE DANCE BEACH BOYS EVIL WAYS SANTANA DO IT AGAIN BEACH BOYS GET READY RARE EARTH DON'T WORRY BABY BEACH BOYS GET TOGETHER YOUNGBLOODS DO YOU WANNA DANCE BEACH BOYS GIMME SOME LOVIN SPENCER DAVIS FUN FUN FUN BEACH BOYS GOOD LOVIN' RASCALS GOD ONLY KNOWS BEACH BOYS GREEN ONIONS BOOKER T & MGs GOOD VIBRATIONS BEACH BOYS I FEEL FINE BEATLES HELP ME RHONDA BEACH BOYS I FOUGHT THE LAW BOBBY FULLER 4 I GET AROUND BEACH BOYS I SAW HER STANDING BEATLES KOKOMO BEACH BOYS HONKY TONK WOMEN ROLLING STONES LITTLE DEUCE COUPE BEACH BOYS JAILHOUSE ROCK ELVIS PRESLEY LITTLE HONDA HONDELS JOHNNY B.
