About The Beach Boys
You can capsulize most pop music acts by reciting how many hits they’ve had and how many millions of albums they’ve sold. But these conventional measurements fall short when you’re assessing the impact of The Beach Boys. This band has birthed a torrent of hit singles and sold albums by the tens of millions. But its greater significance lies in the fact that The Beach Boys’ songs have forever changed the musical landscape, profoundly influencing countless performing artists to follow.
At the helm of The Beach Boys is lead singer and critically acclaimed lyricist, Mike Love, a founding member whose leadership has steered the band through decades of musical evolution. GRAMMY-winning songwriter Bruce Johnston joined The Beach Boys in 1965, replacing Glenn Campbell, who filled in for Brian Wilson, on vocals/bass, when he retired from touring. Highly regarded in his field, Johnston brought with him a wealth of experience from working with icons like Elton John and Pink Floyd, The Byrds, cementing his place among rock’s elite.
The current lineup, including musical director Brian Eichenberger, Christian Love, Tim Bonhomme, Jon Bolton, Keith Hubacher, Randy Leago, and John Wedemeyer, continues to honor and expand upon the band’s iconic live performance legacy. This dedication is evident in their rigorous touring schedule, with the band performing an average of 150 shows a year across a variety of venues worldwide.
In 2012, The Beach Boys marked their 50th anniversary with a reunion tour and the release of “That’s Why God Made the Radio,” which debuted at #3 on the Billboard charts, their highest chart position in 37 years. This resurgence of interest highlighted the band’s continued relevance and their ability to resonate with both long-time fans and new listeners alike.
Their discography includes milestones like the triple platinum-certified Sounds of Summer and The Warmth of the Sun, which have contributed to a renewed interest in their music. Despite having numerous opportunities to retire at the height of their success, such as after the release of the groundbreaking Pet Sounds masterpiece in 1966, or after Mike Love’s concept album Endless Summer ignited a second generation of Beach Boys fans and stirred a tempest that rocked the music world, or after recording Love’s co-written Golden Globe-nominated “Kokomo” in 1988 and seeing it become its best-selling single ever, or after being inducted that same year into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, The Beach Boys have chosen to continue touring and sharing music with the world, a testament to their commitment to their art and fans.
The Beach Boys celebrated the 50th anniversary of the hit “Good Vibrations” – which is widely considered one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of rock and roll – in 2016 with a 50 Years of Good Vibrations tour, underscoring the song’s status as a rock and roll masterpiece. Mike Love’s memoir, “GOOD VIBRATIONS: My Life as a Beach Boy,” further cemented their place in music history by becoming a New York Times Best Seller.
The Beach Boys have been a significant presence at major events, including Live Aid and the Statue of Liberty’s 100th Anniversary Salute, showcasing their unparalleled ability to captivate audiences. Mike Love’s contributions as a songwriter, in collaboration with Brian Wilson, have produced timeless hits like “Surfin’,” “Fun, Fun, Fun,” and “California Girls,” “Warmth of the Sun,” “Good Vibrations,” and long list of other titles highlighting his enduring talent.
Recent years have seen the release of comprehensive box sets like Feel Flows – The Sunflower and Surf’s Up Sessions 1969-1971 and Sail On Sailor – 1972, exploring in-depth the band’s transformative periods. These collections, featuring a plethora of previously unreleased tracks, showcase the band’s versatility and profound influence on the music industry.
In 2023, The Beach Boys were celebrated in the CBS tribute special “GRAMMY Salute to the Beach Boys,” featuring performances by a diverse array of artists including Beck, Brandi Carlile, Michael McDonald, Pentatonix, St. Vincent, Weezer, Norah Jones, John Legend, and Mumford & Sons among others.
On Friday, May 24, 2024, the all-new documentary “The Beach Boys” will be available for streaming exclusively on Disney+. It celebrates the legendary band and their iconic California sound, featuring never-before-seen footage and interviews with band members and music luminaries like Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Lindsey Buckingham, and Janelle Monáe. The film, directed by Frank Marshall and Thom Zimny and produced by a team including Frank Marshall and Irving Azoff, traces the band’s humble beginnings and lasting impact on pop music.
The official soundtrack for “The Beach Boys,” featuring songs from the film, will be available to stream and download on May 24 via Capitol/UMe, and the group’s iconic 1964 album “Shut Down, Vol. 2” is being released on limited edition blue and white marble vinyl on March 29 (stream or purchase these albums at https://stream.lnk.to/TheBeachBoysPR). Additionally, the group’s official book, “The Beach Boys by the Beach Boys,” is out now via via Genesis Publications.
As The Beach Boys continue to make waves in music, co-founder and chief lyricist Mike Love’s entrepreneurial spirit shines through his co-founded venture, Club Kokomo Spirits. Recently, the company celebrated a significant achievement by securing two Double Gold medals at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition for its artisanal rums. This prestigious recognition highlights the dedication to quality and craftsmanship that Club Kokomo embodies, paralleling the enduring legacy of The Beach Boys’ music. Both the Artisanal White and Barrel Finished rums have been acclaimed for their exceptional flavors, much like the harmonious sounds that have defined The Beach Boys for generations.

Extending his influence far beyond the musical stage, Love demonstrates a deep commitment to giving back to the community. He has been at the forefront of numerous charitable efforts, using his platform to support a wide range of causes. In 1990, he responded to President George H. W. Bush’s call for service by founding StarServe, an initiative aimed at motivating young people towards community service, showcasing his early commitment to philanthropy. His philanthropic efforts were recognized when he and his wife Jacquelyne received the prestigious Points of Light Award, highlighting his significant contributions to volunteer service and impacting lives across the globe. Through the Love Foundation, Mike has supported initiatives focusing on education, health, environmental conservation, and disaster relief, showcasing a legacy of compassion and service alongside his storied musical career.
