Papa Doo Run Run - Bio
Formed in 1965, the now legendary California band, PAPA DOO RUN
RUN, quickly discovered their forte - they sounded like the
Beach Boys! That sound led them to Jan & Dean, and from 1976-80
Papa toured North America with the duo. In the 80's Papa
graduated from J&D to the Beach Boys, and performed and recorded
with members of that band throughout the next 2 decades. The
group also had an unprecedented 15-year run as the "Celebrity
House Band" at Disneyland from 1975-90!
Papa's 1975 Top 40 hit "Be True To Your School" reached No. 1 in
California. Their ground breaking CD "California Project"
(1985) exploded onto the Billboard Hot 100 Chart at no. 17 and
earned the band their second Gold Record and a Grammy
Nomination. Additionally, Papa Doo Run Run appeared in, and
recorded the soundtrack album for the CBS-TV movie "Deadman's
Curve". The band currently has 6 CD releases.
Today, Papa Doo Run Run's act encompasses all the great Classic
Rock hits of the 60s and 70s, including their award winning re-
creation of the hits of the Beach Boys, plus some of their own
high-energy original tunes.
