Beach Boy Brian Wilson will stage a number of concerts to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the release of his seminal album, Pet Sounds.

Inspired by The Beatles album Rubber Soul, Wilson challenged himself to create a masterpiece. The result, the 1966 Pet Sounds is hailed as one of the greatest albums of all time.

Wilson began his career as a teenaged founding member of The Beach Boys, who signed with Capitol Records in July 1962 and released their first album, Surfin’ Safari, that same year.

Their top hits include “I Get Around,” “California Girls,” “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” “God Only Knows,” and the No. 1 smash “Good Vibrations” made The Beach Boys America’s preeminent band of the 1960s.
