Al Jardine, guitarist, vocalist and songwriter, is best known for being one of the founding members of The Beach Boys. After his family moved to Hawthorne, California, in the mid-50’s, Al met Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson and Mike Love, to form the band in 1961. Al played guitar, arranged and produced many songs and sang lead on the No. 1 hit "Help Me, Rhonda." In 1988, Al was inducted into the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame as a member of The Beach Boys and in 2001, he was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award Grammy. In 2005, Al released
Sloop John B: A Pirate’s Tale
, a fun-filled adventure children’s book based on the classic folk song (and Beach Boys hit) of the same name.
Al released his first studio album,
A Postcard from California
, in 2010, which was re-released to a worldwide audience in 2022 from Universal Music. Throughout the last decade and a half, Al has continuously toured with Brian Wilson, The Beach Boys (on their 50
th
Anniversary Tour) and on his own with his Endless Summer Band. With the summer 2025 release of a new 4-track EP called
Islands In The Sun,
Al Jardine continues to produce new music on his own that captures the spirit and vibe of The Beach Boys’ biggest hits.
In 2025, Al Jardine reformed the incredibly-talented and seasoned members of Brian Wilson’s touring band for many years as The Pet Sounds Band. This new show includes The Beach Boys’ greatest hits like “California Girls,” ”Help Me Rhonda,” “I Get Around,” “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” “Sloop John B,” “Surfin’ USA” and “Fun, Fun, Fun” as well as radio singles and fan favorites from The Beach Boys’ critically-acclaimed 70’s albums like
15 Big Ones
,
The Beach Boys Love You
and the
M.I.U. Album
, which was produced by Al in 1978. The Pet Sounds Band also features Al’s son Matt Jardine, a star in his own right who has performed with The Beach Boys and Brian Wilson for decades and has received rave reviews for his youthful Brian Wilson-like vocals on classics such as “Good Vibrations,” “God Only Knows,” “Don’t Worry Baby” and “Surf’s Up.”
Delivering an experience that carries on in the tradition of Brian Wilson’s
Pet Sounds
shows and The Beach Boys’ spirit of fun, fun, fun, Al Jardine and The Pet Sounds Band will be performing the classic hits, rarities and deep cuts in a tribute to the late Brian Wilson. This not-to-be-missed concert promises to keep the good vibes and beautiful harmonies of The Beach Boys’ timeless music alive for many more years.
Surf’s up!
