The History of The Beach Boys (Adults)

REGISTRATION RECOMMENDED

Gary Wenstrup will discuss the music history of The Beach Boys — the sound of summer!

If summer had a sound, it would be The Beach Boys… surf, sun, and California dreaming.  This presentation will focus on The Beach Boys' “sunniest” years from 1962 to 1967.  With the use of performance and interview clips, we’ll trace the arc of the Beach Boys’ early career from Surfin’ U.S.A.; Fun, Fun, Fun; and California Girls to the more mature album 'Pet Sounds', Good Vibrations, and the abandoned 'Smile' project.  Surf’s Up!
