Al Jardine and the Pet Sounds Band

Guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Al Jardine is best known for being one of the founding members of the Beach Boys. An accomplished musician on a variety of stringed instruments, Jardine played rhythm guitar (as well as bass on early recordings), and he sang the lead on the number one hit “Help Me, Rhonda.” He also wrote or co-wrote many songs, most notably on the albums Sunflower, Surf’s Up, Carl and the Passions—“So Tough”, and Holland.

In 2025, Jardine re-formed Brian Wilson’s seasoned touring band as the Pet Sounds Band. This show includes the Beach Boys’ greatest hits as well as rarities and deep cuts. The Pet Sounds Band also features Jardine’s son Matt, who performed with the Beach Boys and Brian Wilson for decades and has received rave reviews for his youthful Brian Wilson–like vocals.
