The Beach Boys created pure magic using soaring, definitive harmonies that lead to an astonishing twenty-two Top 10 hits. Their career spanned over two decades and would place them with Rock ‘n’ Roll royalty as they were inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1988.

Relive the magic of every hit with spot on vocals and tight melodies as Justin Ploof and his crew Surf USA, Get Around, Help Rhonda, bring some Good Vibrations, and so much more!
