From a Beachfront: The Purple Tiki Connection {Links Are Pink!}

This show originally aired on March 29, 2023, and has a Purple Tiki Lounge theme—which means it’s infused with island vibes, surf sounds, and a splash of fun. And since there’s also a Spot of Tea, you know what that means… we have a special guest!

This time, we welcomed Beachfront Vinny and JJ Hoeffner to talk about their new release and the ongoing saga of tribute bands on Long Island. But before we dive into that, let’s rewind a bit and talk about how our paths first crossed.

The Birth of a Tiki Friendship

During the great lockdown of 2020, while the world was going stir-crazy, we were busy creating The Purple Tiki Lounge—a whimsical, make-believe tiki bar where the drinks were always strong, the company was always good, and the music never stopped.

As we curated the perfect playlist for this enchanted hideaway, we stumbled upon the music of Beachfront Vinny. One day, we started chatting, and just like that—instant friendship! Vinny just felt like family from the start.

Before long, he became the house artist of the Purple Tiki Lounge. We even had a top-secret Facebook group for the lounge—our own little speakeasy during COVID where friends and family could gather, hang out, and keep the world at bay. Vinny was a key part of that.

The Podcast That Led to a Radio Show

Vinny didn’t just provide the soundtrack to our tiki adventures—he also inspired us to take our creativity further.

• First, he nudged us into starting a podcast—and, of course, he was our first guest!

• Then, he encouraged us to apply for a radio show on WDRT… and here we are!

• Somewhere along the way, we also became part of his story, lending our voices to various Beachfront Vinny projects.

It’s been a wild ride, and that’s why Vinny isn’t just a guest on this show—he’s woven into the very fabric of Eclectic Wonderland and The Purple Tiki Lounge.
