Great Moments in Vinyl plays The Beach Boys (Joliet concert)

  • Joliet Area Historical Museum 24 North Ottawa Street Joliet, IL (map)

The Beach Boys had dozens of hits and sold millions and millions of records, but what truly sets them apart is the impact their music had on an entire generation…and how that same music continues to influence musicians today.

Their career began with songs about surfing and the Southern California lifestyle.  But their musical leader Brian Wilson soon started to imagine what he could create with his rock ’n’ roll choir and how he could use a recording studio in innovative ways to craft their sound.

From the lush harmonies of “In My Room” to the sheer joy of “California Girls” to the dazzling sonic spectacle of “Good Vibrations,” the results were mind-blowing.

Join Great Moments in Vinyl as we bring to life the music of The Beach Boys with the help of four award-winning vocalists who have a lot in common with them.  Like Brian, Carl, and Dennis Wilson, they’re all brothers.  And like the Wilsons and the rest of that California band, they’ve been making music all their lives.  We promise you a memorable night of glorious harmonies and passionate performances…accompanied by memorable stories about the music and the musicians who created it.

Great Moments in Vinyl plays The Beach Boys…for two concerts on the first weekend of summer. Catch our first performance Friday, June 21st on the rooftop of the Joliet Area Historical Museum in Joliet
