Interview: Al Jardine of The Beach Boys on New Solo Album, 50th Anniversary Band Tour
Submitted by PatrickMcD on April 11, 2012 - 7:44pmCHICAGO – Both rock ‘n roll and the California culture would be completely different without the sound and influence of The Beach Boys. One of the founding members of the legendary band is Al Jardine, who in 1961 was a schoolboy friend of Brian Wilson when he joined the fledgling group. Jardine has released a new solo album called “A Postcard from California” and embarks on a 50th Anniversary Tour with The Beach Boys starting later this month.
