Sounds of the 60s

The diverse talents and abilities of the Beach Boyz combine to form a 100% live musical experience that brings to life the sights and sounds of the legendary Beach Boys. For more than a decade, the Beach Boyz have performed and honed the unmistakable five part vocal harmonies of the original Beach Boys to the standard of Brian Wilson. The result is a mix of sharp instrumental and tight vocal harmonies that produce a sound the Beach Boys’ official website described as “the best Beach Boys tribute show in the world”.
