Program Description

Event Details

If summer had a sound it would have to be the music of The Beach Boys … surf, sun, and California dreaming. The program will focus on The Beach Boys' “sunniest” years from 1962 to 1967 and include interview and performance video clips. We’ll trace the arc of the Beach Boys’ career from “Surfin’ U.S.A.,” “Fun, Fun, Fun,” and “California Girls” to the more mature Pet Sounds, “Good Vibrations” and the abandoned Smile project. Surf’s up!
