Overview

The Beach Boys founding member Al Jardine is coming to QPAC with The Pet Sounds Band, featuring Brian Wilson’s acclaimed touring musicians, celebrating The Beach Boys’ greatest hits including “California Girls”, “Help Me Rhonda”, “Wouldn’t It Be Nice”, “Surfin’ USA”, and “Good Vibrations”.

Beyond the classics, the setlist includes deep cuts from The Beach Boys’ 1970s albums including radio singles and fan favourites. Al has even expanded the 58-second “Ding Dang” with new verses – “I hope that doesn’t offend fans, but it really is hilarious” (Jardine).

The Pet Sounds Band represents more than nostalgia – it’s a living continuation of a musical tradition. With Al’s son Matt Jardine contributing vocals that channel the spirit of classic The Beach Boys harmonies, this new formation bridges generations while maintaining the authentic sound that made the originals so special. Music director Darian Sahanaja of The Wondermints rounds out the ensemble. 

Delivering an experience that carries on in the tradition of Brian Wilson’s Pet Sounds shows and The Beach Boys’ fun fun fun spirit, this concert promises an essential musical journey for fans seeking to experience the full spectrum of The Beach Boys’ artistry, from radio favourites to hidden gems – a concert experience not to be missed.
