The Beach Boys

In August 2021, The Beach Boys gave an electrifying performance at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, showcasing their enduring legacy as pioneers of American pop music. Just prior to this live recording, they released their album "Sounds of Summer: The Very Best of The Beach Boys" in 2003, which serves as a comprehensive collection of their biggest hits, reminding fans of their creamy harmonies and surf-rock roots. The choice to play "Kokomo"—a hit from their 1988 album "Still Cruisin'"—at this live event is particularly poignant, as it encapsulates their ability to bridge generations of fans. Known for its catchy melody and sunny lyrics, "Kokomo" has become an anthem of laid-back beach vibes. Despite lineup changes over the decades, the band's spirit shines bright, with live performances that captivate audiences and evoke nostalgia.
