The Beach Boys

You can capsulize most pop music acts by reciting how many hits they’ve had and how many millions of albums they’ve sold. These conventional measurements fall short when assessing the impact of The Beach Boys, which birthed a torrent of hit singles and sold albums by the tens of millions. The band’s greater significance is that its songs forever changed the musical landscape, profoundly influencing countless performing artists to follow. The band is led by Mike Love who, along with longtime member Bruce Johnston, musical director Scott Totten, Brian Eichenberger, Christian Love, Tim Bonhomme, John Cowsill, Keith Hubacher and Randy Leago, continue the iconic group’s legacy. Captained by Mike Love, The Beach Boys play an astoundingly busy concert schedule, averaging 150 shows a year, ranging from sundrenched amphitheaters to intimate performing arts centers and special events across the globe. The band continues to create and perform with the same bold imagination and style that marked their explosive debut over 50 years ago. The Beach Boys found through their music the key to unfading youth—and they made copies for everyone. To these guys, the beach isn’t just a place where the surf comes to play—it’s where life is renewed and made whole again.
