PAPA DOO RUN RUN AMERICA'S MUSIC ~ CALIFORNIA'S BAND Formed in 1965, the now legendary California band, PAPA DOO RUN RUN, quickly discovered their forte - they sounded like the Beach Boys!

In the 80s Papa graduated from J&D to the Beach Boys, and toured 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 7 CD releases and a full length DVD. Today, Papa Doo Run Run still averages about 100 dates a year, worldwide.
