Co-founder of The Beach Boys. Brian Wilson, with special guest Al Jardin

Friday, November 20, 2015 at 8 p.m.

It is no exaggeration to call Brian Wilson one of the most influential composers of the last century. He is one of popular music's most deeply revered figures, the main creative force behind some of the most cherished recordings in rock history. Wilson's remarkable journey began in a modest Hawthorne, California home that was filled with music. He was barely out of his teens when he began to create some of the most beloved records ever... nine consecutive "gold" albums that featured such classics as "Surfer Girl," "In My Room," "I Get Around," "Don't Worry Baby," "Fun, Fun, Fun," "Help Me Rhonda" and "California Girls"...just to name a handful of the more than two dozen Top 40 hits Brian co-wrote, arranged, produced and performed on with his family band, the Beach Boys. If you've seen Brian Wilson in concert, you've already witnessed the magic and the celebration. If you've heard his records, you know why he's been called the Mozart of Rock, the Gershwin of his generation. In a culture where trends change overnight, Wilson has gone the distance. It's been said that if music is math, then Wilson just might be Einstein. But no comparisons are really necessary; he's Brian Wilson, an American composer, arranger and producer whose work has proved to be as powerful as faith, as timeless as love and as heartfelt as mercy.
