If summer had a sound it would be the Beach Boys…surf, sun and California dreaming. This virtual presentation will focus on The Beach Boys “sunniest” years from 1962-1967. 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 Pet Sounds, “Good Vibrations” and the abandoned Smile project. Surf’s Up!

Gary is an adjunct professor at the College of DuPage/CE teaching a number of Pop Music History Classes.
