The music world is still mourning the loss of the great Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys mastermind who died June 11 at the age of 82 in his native Southern California.
During his amazing lifetime, Wilson was the driving force behind some of the most beloved songs in pop music history — including “I Get Around,” “Little Deuce Coupe,” “Help Me, Rhonda,” “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” “I Just Wasn’t Made for These Times,” “Surfer Girl,” “God Only Knows,” “Fun, Fun, Fun” and, of course, “Good Vibrations.”
Fans can count on hearing many (if not all) of those songs in concert when the Beach Boys perform on Aug. 17 at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. and tickets start at $78.78, mountainwinery.com.
The band, which still features founding member Mike Love, also performs Aug. 22 at the Blue Note Summer Sessions at the Meritage Resort and Spa in Napa. Showtime is 7 p.m. and tickets start at $86, ticketmaster.com.
