A Felixstowe Freestyle on Six Strings
Martin Packwood’s Beach Street Boogie is a sunlit strut down the coast with a guitar slung over its shoulder and rhythm in its step. This isn’t just another rock instrumental, it’s a celebration. A free-spirited, feel-good jam packed with energy, personality, and just enough grit to keep it grounded.
Right from the get-go, the track bursts to life with a vibrant groove that radiates warmth and motion. There’s something magnetic about the tone, bright but punchy, playful but skilled. You can almost see the painted shipping containers, smell the food trucks, and feel the pulse of Beach Street coming through the speakers. It’s the sound of a street party caught in a bottle.
Packwood’s guitar work here is confident and conversational, like an old friend telling stories without needing a single word. Every lick and riff feels purposeful but unpretentious, driven more by joy than ego. It’s the kind of playing that makes you want to pick up an instrument, not just admire it.What really sets this track apart is its ability to evoke a place and mood so clearly without relying on lyrics. It’s a local love letter wrapped in rock and roll spirit. Beach Street Boogie doesn’t need to explain itself, it just shows up, cranks it, and dares you not to smile.
