Join Gary Wenstrup as he takes you along on a journey with The Beach Boys “ through their sunniest” years which includes interviews and performance video clips.

If summer had a sound it would have to be the music of The Beach Boys…surf, sun, and California dreaming.  Join Gary Wenstrup as he takes you along on a journey with The Beach Boys “sunniest” years which includes interviews and performance video clips.  We’ll trace the arc of the Beach Boys’ career from “Surfin’ U.S.A.”, “Fun, Fun, Fun” and “California Girls” to the more mature Pet Sounds, “Good Vibrations” (the 55th anniversary of its release back in 1966) and the abandoned Smile project.  Surf’s Up!
