How To Book PAPA DOO RUN RUN For Your Event!
Papa Doo Run Run
may be available for your next special event!
(can perform a very
impressive
Beach Boys
tribute set)
Papa Doo Run Run performs all the feel-good classic rock of the 60's and 70's
with a special emphasis on the California music hits of
The Beach Boys.
 The year was 1965. 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, four 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 others bands just rambled. They wore
suits!
They believed that "good enough" never was. They practiced
their four part harmony until their throats bled – and it paid off. Papa Doo
Run Run established a solid performance schedule, playing as many as 200 dates a
year, covering North America and two other continents, and a ton of island resorts.
 During their humble beginnings in the 60's and 70's, they performed at
nearly every high school and college in California. Some of Papa Doo Run Run's
opening acts in the early days included Van Halen and
The Doobie
Brothers, when those
bands were still in their garage band stage.
After meeting limited success with a few recording ventures in the 60's
and 70's, Papa Doo Run Run caught the big wave with "Be True
To Your School," produced by their friend Bruce Johnston of
The Beach Boys.
That single made the top 40 charts nationally, and 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 become a 15
year run at Disneyland as the "celebrity house band."
Throughout the late 70's Papa Doo Run Run toured with Jan
& Dean as their opening act and back-up band, and in the 80's toured and
recorded with members of the Beach Boys. They have also appeared in concert with such
luminaries as Roy Orbison,
Fleetwood Mac,
Kenny
Loggins,
Chicago,
The Beach Boys, and many
more huge names. Their most notable performances include two Olympics, six Super Bowls,
and two Inaugurations. In 1988 Papa was dubbed "California's Band"
by California's then Governor Dukmejian, and in 1992 they added a former member of
The Beach Boys to their permanent line-up.
Papa Doo Run Run today includes: Don Zirilli –
keyboards and vocals, Jim Rush – bass and vocals, (both of whom are original members
since 1965), Jeffrey Foskett – guitar and vocals, who joined Papa after his 10
year stint as a member of
The Beach Boys (1980-90), plus Bobby Gothar – guitar and vocals,
who has shared the stage with
Lee Greenwood,
Merle Haggard, and
Charlie Daniels, and studio drummer Bo Fox, who
throughout the 80's toured with
Jimmy Buffett, and
The Eagles.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BOOK/HIRE THIS ARTIST?
(i.e., what is the fee of this artist for an event?)
(i.e., what is this artist charging to perform at an event?)
Official booking fees for this artist, or any other celebrity, are
determined based on a number of factors and may change at anytime without prior
notice.
Factors influencing pricing vary and may include date, location, type of
event, whether a private party or a public concert, the artist's calendar,
whether the artist is on tour or not, how well tickets are selling at the
artist's concerts, the current demand for the artist's music, market activity, etc.
As you might expect, the more in-demand the artist is, the more buyers are
prepared to pay. Of course, this causes the artist's price to increase as
the artist becomes more popular, or decrease when becoming less popular.
Exclusive agents with exclusive representation frequently quote a
range instead of a specific price, since changes can occur at anytime.
Generally, the
artist's manager has a role in the decision to accept any
particular offer from a talent buyer.
To learn the most current artist's pricing, or the estimated
artist's fee for your particular event, simply click on the "Booking
