The Beach Boys Tickets

Since forming as a garage band in 1961 in Hawthorne, California, the American rock band known as America's Band, the Beach Boys, rose to become one of rock and roll's most influential groups. Under the management of the Wilsons' dad, the Beach Boys gained prominence early on in their career, producing a set of singles speaking to the youth culture of California. The Beach Boys' music has gone through several evolutions over its history, setting beach songs aside in 1964 for more intricate orchestral arrangements and more personal themes and topics in their lyrics.
