Music Legend Brian Wilson Keeps Good Vibrations Going

As residents of Southern California, we’ve never had room to complain about a thing. The weather is consistently warm and temperate, the people are beautiful and interesting, and the ocean is but a short drive away.

Those five young men became known as The Beach Boys. Formed in 1961 in Hawthorne, California (a Los Angeles suburb within five miles of the Pacific Coast) The Beach Boys began to create their sound in the home of brothers Carl, Dennis, and Brian Wilson, along with cousin Mike Love and high school friend Al Jardine.

It later became a signature sound of Brian Wilson’s own solo career.
