6:30 - 9:30 PM @ The LIFESAVING STATION

Broughton Aycock is the lead vocalist and guitarist for Frozen Head and the Squirrels, a diverse, modernistic band whose live shows combine surf rock, reggae, and indie covers derived from the last five decades, playing authentic 60's surf guitar. Some of the more prominent bands that have influenced their style include Ween, the Ventures, Talking Heads, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Sublime, the Pixies, Devo, Mgmt, and the Rolling Stones. Broughton started playing by ear at an early age, and is enthused with the 60's fender sound. In 2004, he formed Frozen Head and the Squirrels, who is known for their live performances. Usually appearing as a trio (guitar, bass, and drums), their forte is eclectic rock and roll covers, 60's surf music, cali-reggae, and party songs. In the band's interpretations of the songs, other genres that can be heard include jazz, blues, country, bluegrass, indie rock, psychedelic rock, funk, folk, and even classical undertones. Living and playing around the Outer Banks, North Carolina, has somewhat conformed them with the demand of "covers", playing what audiences of the area what to hear most: familiar songs, and stuff that they can relate to. They keep it eclectic, while aiming to connect to each and every audience member through at least a couple of songs in the set. In addition, after living abroad in Central America for several years, Broughton now brings a wealth of Latin music to the mix.
