AL JARDINE & THE PET SOUNDS BAND - BIO

Al Jardine, founding member of The Beach Boys, is currently touring with The Pet Sounds Band, whose talented and seasoned members were handpicked by Brian Wilson. The show includes many Beach Boys’ hits (“California Girls,” ”Help Me Rhonda,” “I Get Around,” “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” “Sloop John B,” “Surfin’ USA” and “Fun, Fun, Fun”) plus songs from the critically acclaimed Love You album and other rarities from the 70’s. The Pet Sounds Band includes Al’s son Matt Jardine, who has received rave reviews for his youthful Brian Wilson-like vocals on classics like “Good Vibrations,” “God Only Knows,” “Don’t Worry Baby” and “Surf’s Up” from The Beach Boy’s legendary unreleased masterpiece SMiLE!

A little bit of history—after Al’s family moved to Hawthorne, California, in the mid-50’s, he met Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson along with Mike Love, to form the band in 1961. Al played guitar, arranged and produced many songs and sang lead on the No. 1 hit "Help Me, Rhonda." In 1988, Al was inducted into the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame as a member of The Beach Boys and in 2001, he was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award Grammy. In 2005, Al released Sloop John B: A Pirate’s Tale, a fun-filled adventure children’s book based on the classic folk song (and Beach Boys hit) of the same name.

Al released his first studio album, A Postcard from California, in 2010, which was recently re-released to a worldwide audience from Universal Music and also a new 4-track EP in 2025 called Islands In The Sun, which includes guest appearances from Neil Young and Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

In 2026, Al Jardine and The Pet Sounds Band perform the classic hits and rarities in a tribute to the late Brian Wilson—it’s a show that promises to keep the good vibes and beautiful harmonies of The Beach Boys’ timeless music alive for many more years!
