It all began in Hawthorne California, at Hawthorne High School while most of the Beach Boys were Hawthorne High School Cougars. Brian and Al played on the football team together. Dennis and Carl were Brian's little brothers that sang with big brother Brian since they were very small.  Cousin Mike Love went to nearby Dorsey High. What began as a weekend while the folks were away, changed the world of musical history forever. 

As the "British Invasion" hit the shores of the USA in 1964, the "Surf Sound" had been defined by the likes of Dick Dale, The Ventures and many others with whom performed songs without lyrics. Receiving some criticism from the surfing community for having lyrics, The Beach Boys began to reshape the sound and developed a whole new genre dubbed "Surf Pop".

  Their songs talked of fast cars, the girl next door, having fun and the forever search for the "perfect wave. This catapulted Brian, Mike, Carl, Dennis and Al into international stardom. Their music is recognized throughout the world. Much like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, they have millions of devoted fans and new listeners of all ages that are discovering  their music every day!!!

The concept of The Beach Toys was to recreate and authenticate the look and sound of a live concert, circa 1964-65, by Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson and Al Jardine. That was the spark that ignited the flame.

The Beach Toys have recreated the sight, sound and mannerisms of this most recognizable band. From the striped shirts and Sansabelt slacks,to the suede "Beatle Boots" and wavy hair, right down to the definitive  harmonies and groundbreaking lyrics about girls, surf and life in California. They play the same exact same instruments of the original Beach Boys. This Beach Boys are recreated for devoted fans and future generations alike to enjoy.

THE BEACH TOYS ARE THE ONLY TRUE-TO-FORM, AUTHENTIC
BEACH BOYS TRIBUTE SHOW IN THE WORLD !!.....HERE'S WHY. 

A tribute show is not the same as a cover band. A tribute show defined is one that completely and accurately recreates the sights, vocal, instrumental sounds, exact costumes, equipment, look, height, mannerisms as well as the  music of the original artists for which they portray. Many generic surf bands are misconceived or claim  to be an actual Beach Boys tribute bands when in fact they do not remain  100%  true to Beach Boys music nor do they dedicate themselves to the look, costumes, and the "classic sound" of The 1960's Beach Boys. The Beach Toys don't just sing Beach Boys music, they actually  "BECOME"  The Beach Boys from the 1960s and others are now "copycats" of The Beach Toys, the originals.

  THE BEACH TOYS:

*Wear the same sans belt pants, shirts, look and hair cuts. Also the first and original band using the well recognized true-to-form exact 1" blue & white striped shirts with DETAIL, DETAIL, DETAIL when authenticating the instruments, amplifiers and drums, right down to the white guitars, and real 1960's blond Fender amplifiers.          

*Have performed at the LAS VEGAS HILTON, THE MIRAGE RESORT CASINO and CAESAR'S PALACE and many more as well as DISNEY ENTERTAINMENT at DISNEY'S CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE PARK AND DISNEYLAND FEATURED BELOW !
   

*Proudly replicate all the harmonic vocals and music of the Beach Boys LIVE  without the use of computer sequencers, vocal tracks, vocal tricks or instrumental recordings of any kind !

      WHAT DO THE CRITICS SAY ?

An accomplished guitarist and vocalist, Chris brings the role of Al Jardine alive both on stage and off.

Chris hails from the Inland Empire, and has been involved in music all of his life. A major fan of both The Beatles and The Beach Boys, Chris has studied the intricate vocals and correct chording which made each of these groups recognizable.

Along with the dedication of music, Chris is a true showman as well. His stature and stage presence is just like seeing and hearing Al live in concert.

lead guitar playing and soaring vocals.

Bob is a much sought after studio musician in the Los Angeles area and has played with many top artists on tour such as: Amy Grant, Peter Cetera (Chicago), The Righteous Brothers, Barry Manilow, and many more.

GLENN HENRY as Brian Wilson
Another Southern California native, Glenn has over 29 years of professional singing and playing recording experience, including the recording project "The Strand" with the late Jeff Pocaro of the 70's hit band TOTO. In addition, Glenn has performed with the 50's doo-wop hit group The Drifters as well as many Los Angeles based club and touring bands such as: Freeze, Graffiti, Backstreet, The Rhythm Kings and the in house band for ARROW RADIO, "Haight Ashbury". 

Glenn studied piano at the early age of 10 and has played guitar since the age of 8. With the need for a bassist in his junior high school band, Glenn switched to bass and has been playing ever since. Glenn studied voice with Phyllis Zimmerman. In college, he continued to study the bass with L.A. session greats: Jeff Takaguchi and Herb Mickman in Los Angeles, California in the early 80s.

Glenn's groove oriented bass playing can be heard on several jingles along with numerous CDs to include The Paper Bridegroom soundtrack.

Glenn truly recaptures the look and vocal sound of the great Brian Wilson. Glenn has been a Beach Boys fan since the mid-1960's when he first heard the melodic surf music while surfing and growing up in Santa Barbara, California.

Glenn performed with The Beach Boys (Love/Johnson line up) in 1999 with Haight Ashbury.

 

     
. MIKE MOYNAHAN as Mike Love
As a native Southern Californian, Mike spent much of his youth cruising
Newport Beach to the cool sounds of The Beach Boys. A showbiz veteran of over 20 years, Mike has managed to build a successful career as a musician and actor. Mike can be seen on TV everyday co-starring with Ben Vereen in the Emmy Award-winning children's show ZOOBILEE ZOO. He has appeared in over a hundred national commercials and has had roles in such films as BODY SLAM, THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES, ACTS OF LOVE and most recently THE COMMISSION starring Martin Sheen, Sam Waterston and Martin Landau. With an extensive background in live theatre, Mike has performed on Broadway and in regional theaters all across the U.S. and Canada.

Mike's music career has also kept him very busy. He comes from a long line of musicians that stretches way back to Ireland. As a trumpet player, Mike has teamed up with two of his five brothers to create the cool, funky,
groove band HOUSE BREW. The Moynahan brothers have also recorded with numerous big names in the industry and even enjoyed a number of weeks on Billboard's Top 20 with their hit re-make of I'LL TAKE YOU THERE with GENERAL PUBLIC.

Mike not only recreates Mike Love's lead vocals impeccably, he is also
enjoying the challenge of providing some of those memorable and complex keyboard parts that make the later Beach Boys material so distinct. After many years as a vocalist in groups ranging from Classical to Barbershop to 50's Doo-Wop, Michael says he is compelled to sing more contemporary styles of music. Congratulations Mike, you've made it to the 60's.
