The Beach Boys

By January 1, 2018, The Beach Boys were celebrating a legacy that included more than five decades of musical influence and success. Leading up to this performance at the "A Capitol Fourth" event, they had recently released the album "That's Why God Made the Radio" in 2012, which marked their first studio album in decades featuring original material. The band has been well-known for their harmonies and beach-themed music, which contributed to the California sound of the 1960s. Notably, their live performance that day included special guests John Stamos, who has been a long-time collaborator and fan of the band, and Jimmy Buffett, who shares a similar lifestyle and musical vibe with his audience. This performance underscores The Beach Boys' continued relevance and their ability to cross generational lines, showcasing an enduring appeal as they entertain both longtime fans and newer audiences.
