If summer had a sound it would be the Beach Boys. This presentation will focus on their “sunniest” years from 1962-1967 tracing the arc of the Beach Boys’ early career to their more mature era.
If summer had a sound it would be the Beach Boys…surf, sun and California dreaming. 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 Pet Sounds, “Good Vibrations” and the abandoned Smile project. Surf’s Up!
