“Arguably one of the hardest working bands to come out of San Diego, this family outfit, dripping with blood chemistry, delivers a real deal blend of Rock ’n’ Roll & Rockabilly Country.” - R.J. Bloke, Bigtop Bandstand (Los Angeles)

Brothers Noah and Jonah Kapchinske have brought their original brand of punky-tonk to numerous venues across the country including Austin's The Continental Club, San Diego's Belly Up, Los Angeles' The Echo, Nashville's The Basement, and DIY shows all around SoCal. They are now based in Nashville, TN and are excited to get to play alongside bassist and singer/songwriter Alaina Fidanzo.
The band has released three SDMA-nominated albums: New Dreams (2024), Lost Again (2021), and Gasoline (2018). New Dreams is a collaboration with San Diego's Johnny Sapphire. New Dreams was recorded at Pacific Beat Recording with sound engineer Alan Sanderson (The Rolling Stones, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Michael Jackson, B.B. King) and features the vocals of Josie Lavalle. The Sea Monks have a lot more to share in 2026!
