Avg. Event Rating (5.0 Stars): Add Review/Comment

In 1961, The Beach Boys began singing about America’s newest craze, surfing. What followed was a wave of hits that vividly expressed the lifestyles, dreams and ambitions of America’s youth. Their signature sound, full of sun-drenched harmonies, golden melodies and descriptive lyrics, delivered a taste of the free and easy California lifestyle to listeners around the world. The music of The Beach Boys brings optimism and a beam of Southern California sun wherever it is played.

For more than four decades, The Beach Boys, originally comprised of the three Wilson brothers: Brian, Carl and Dennis, their cousin Mike Love, and school friend Al Jardine, have recorded and performed the music that has become the world’s favorite soundtrack to summer. In 1962, Hawthorne neighbor David Marks joined the group for their first wave of hits on Capitol Records, leaving in late 1963, and in 1965, Bruce Johnston joined the band when Brian Wilson retired from touring.

Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 and winners of The Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award, The Beach Boys are an American institution that is iconic around the world.

    Never being a front row fan, it was the best place to be for this performance in the newly renovated Mountain Winery. The concert began at dusk in a peaceful easy fashion, as if emerging from a meditation. As the sun set over the lovingly tended vineyard, the synergy of Mike Love,Bruce Johnston and the rest of the band co-mingled with the escalating energy of the multigenerational crowd. While the members who have passed or moved in their own directions are missed by those of us who were fans in the 60s, Mike, Bruce et al brought the sound effortlessly and on point. Standing in front dancing barefoot brought me back to my roots, reaffirming the essence of my youth, not in small part, the music of the Beach Boys. Mike love said it best when he addressed the near sold out crowd with the words of wisdom to have a cool head and a warm heart. My heart was warmed greatly as were the hearts of the crowd hearing the songs we have loved for decades, some for the first time. A must see concert! Collapse
