The Beach Boys Sean O’Loughlin, conductor San Diego Symphony Orchestra As The Beach Boys mark more than a half century of making music, the group continues to ride the crest of a wave unequalled in America’s musical history.

Since the band’s co-founder, lead-singer and chief lyricist Mike Love penned the lyrics to The Beach Boys’ first hit, “Surfin’” (1961), dozens of the bands chart toppers have become eternal anthems of American youth: “Surfin’ USA,” “Surfer Girl,” “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “I Get Around,” “California Girls,” “Help Me Rhonda,” “Barbara Ann,” “Good Vibrations,” “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” “Rock and Roll Music” and “Kokomo.” The Beach Boys have sold over 100 million records worldwide and have received more than 33 RIAA Platinum and Gold record awards. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers were also honored at the 2001 Grammy Awards with the Lifetime Achievement Award. With more than five decades of touring under their belts, The Beach Boys have performed more concerts than any major rock band in history. The Beach Boys are led by Mike Love – legendary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Grammy® winner, New York Times bestselling author, co-founder, lead singer, and chief lyricist of The Beach Boys, and a 2025 inductee into the Songwriters Hall of Fame – and is joined by longtime member Bruce Johnston, musical director Brian Eichenberger, and an accomplished ensemble including Christian Love, Tim Bonhomme, Jon Bolton, Keith Hubacher, Randy Leago, and John Wedemeyer, who continue the legacy of this iconic band. In 2026, The Beach Boys are celebrating 250 years of the USA while saluting the 60th anniversary of Pet Sounds. The Beach Boys on Facebook / Instagram San Diego Symphony on Facebook / Instagram
