The Brian Wilson Band, also known as the Pet Sounds Band (from 2025), is an American touring ensemble that served as the backing band for Beach Boys co-founder Brian Wilson from 1999 until his retirement in 2022.[1] The band was largely drawn from the Los Angeles power-pop group the Wondermints,[2] supplemented by Chicago-based session musicians who had recorded with Wilson on his 1998 solo album Imagination.[3] Under the musical direction of keyboardist Darian Sahanaja, the ensemble accompanied Wilson on continuous international touring for over two decades,[4] performing the complete Pet Sounds album live,[5] staging the long-delayed premiere of SMiLE,[6] and celebrating the 50th anniversary of Pet Sounds.[7] Following Wilson's retirement and his death in June 2025,[8] Beach Boys co-founder Al Jardine reassembled the band's core members in 2025 under the name the Pet Sounds Band to continue performing Wilson's music as a tribute.[9]

Background and formation (1998–1999)

edit

Brian Wilson had largely avoided touring for most of his adult life, citing anxiety and mental health difficulties stemming from a breakdown in late 1964. After the death of his brother Carl Wilson in February 1998, the Beach Boys' stable touring lineup dissolved.[10] Wilson's third solo album, Imagination, released in June 1998, prompted plans for his first proper solo tour.[11] In late 1998, Wilson's wife Melinda approached the management of the Wondermints, an LA-based power-pop group formed in the early 1990s by guitarist Nick Walusko and keyboardist Darian Sahanaja.[12] The Wondermints had come to Wilson's attention through a tribute concert in Hollywood and subsequent informal meetings.[13] Multi-instrumentalist Probyn Gregory, who played horns with the Wondermints, was also recruited.[14] The Wondermints members, Sahanaja, Walusko, percussionist Mike D'Amico, and Gregory, were joined by Chicago-based musicians Scott Bennett (various instruments), Paul Von Mertens (woodwinds), Bob Lizik (bass), and vocalist Taylor Mills, all of whom had worked with Wilson on the Imagination sessions.[15] Former Beach Boys touring musician Jeffrey Foskett, who had toured and recorded with the group since the early 1980s, joined as lead vocalist alongside Sahanaja, who served as musical director.[16]

History

edit

Imagination, Pet Sounds Live, and early touring era (1999–2003)

edit

The band's first shows took place in March 1999, with the opening run also featuring Imagination co-producer Joe Thomas on keyboards, Chicago radio personality Steve Dahl on backing vocals and guitar, and drummer Todd Sucherman, all of whom had contributed to the Imagination sessions, appearing at the first four dates before departing the touring lineup.[17][18] Sucherman, who had become a full-time member of Styx in 1996, was subsequently replaced on drums by Jim Hines, a Chicago session musician who stayed with Wilson until 2008.[19][20] Wilson initially toured in support of Imagination, but the setlist quickly evolved into a wide-ranging survey of Beach Boys classics and album tracks rarely heard in concert.[21] Wilson's first live album, Live at the Roxy Theatre, recorded at the Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood across two nights in April 2000 and released that same year, documents the band in their earliest formation.

As part of the 2000 touring cycle, the band performed the complete Pet Sounds album live for the first time, backed by local orchestras at each venue on an international run.[22] In the summer of 2001, Wilson and the band embarked on a co-headlining North American amphitheatre tour with Paul Simon, performing as the opening act across 31 dates; a Variety review of the tour's Los Angeles dates listed the full band lineup as Jeffrey Foskett, Darian Sahanaja, Probyn Gregory, Mike D'Amico, Scott Bennett, Nick Walusko, Paul Mertens, Jim Hines, Bob Lizik, and Taylor Mills.[23] Wilson returned to performing Pet Sounds in full on his 2002 touring dates, including four sold-out nights at the Royal Festival Hall in London; recordings from those January 2002 performances were released as Brian Wilson Presents Pet Sounds Live.[24] The ensemble developed a reputation for unusually meticulous reproduction of Wilson's studio recordings, with each member studying the original arrangements in depth.[25] Probyn Gregory has described the challenge of sourcing a bicycle horn tuned to the correct pitch for a passage in "You Still Believe in Me" as emblematic of the group's approach — Gregory ultimately modified a horn using half a clothespin to flatten the pitch to the required C#, drawing on his classical French horn training.[26]

Mike D'Amico, who had served as the Wondermints' drummer, transitioned to percussion and guitar alongside vocalist Taylor Mills. D'Amico took a hiatus year in 2001 to spend more time with his family, during which Andy Paley, who had collaborated with Wilson on an unreleased album project in the mid-1990s, served in his place as percussionist and vocalist.[27][28]

Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE & Al Jardine's brief stint (2004–2007)

edit

The band's most celebrated achievement came in 2004 when they performed the premiere of Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE at the Royal Festival Hall in London, completing a project Wilson had abandoned in 1967.[29] The performance was met with widespread critical acclaim and was subsequently toured internationally, with the accompanying studio album released to universal praise. The SMiLE sessions required the band to master complex, unconventional arrangements that had never been performed live, a task led by Sahanaja, who spent months sequencing and arranging the original fragments using Pro Tools before presenting them to Wilson.[30] For the live performances, Wilson presented a revised version of "Good Vibrations" that partially altered the rhythm and doubled the length of the "gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations a-happenin'" section, building additional harmonic tension before the song's final resolution, a structural change unique to the SMiLE concert performances and subsequent recording.[31]

The demands of the SMiLE material also required several band members to take on additional instrumentation beyond their usual roles: drummer Jim Hines contributed backing vocals and mallet instruments, including marimba and vibraphone, throughout the performances and recordings.[32][33] Mike D'Amico, who had filled the percussion role since the band's formation (minus his hiatus year replaced by Andy Paley), was unavailable to tour in 2004 when rehearsals for SMiLE began; in his place, Darian Sahanaja and Jeff Foskett recruited Nelson Bragg, a Los Angeles-based drummer and vocalist who had come to their attention through the local club scene.[34] Though hired primarily as a percussionist, Bragg quickly expanded his role to encompass an extensive kit of mallet and hand percussion instruments, including whistles and celery.[35]. Along with Bragg's unique instrumentals, backing vocalist and percussionist Taylor Mills also used a power drill and knee-slapping to add to the album's complex instrumentation.

After that tour concluded in 2005, the band began performing the complete Pet Sounds album at dedicated concerts around the world. Paul Von Mertens, playing woodwinds, and Probyn Gregory, on brass and theremin, were central to reproducing the album's dense studio textures live.[36] Jeffrey Foskett served as the band's lead vocalist and musical co-director throughout this period. Al Jardine, co-founder of the Beach Boys, joined Wilson's touring band for select dates from November 2006 through January 2007 before the collaboration was interrupted by legal disputes among the Beach Boys.[37][38]

That Lucky Old Sun and Reimagines Gershwin (2007-2011)

edit

In 2007, Wilson and the band were commissioned by the Southbank Centre to create a new work for the reopening of the Royal Festival Hall in London. The resulting song cycle, That Lucky Old Sun, was written by Wilson in collaboration with bandmate Scott Bennett, with spoken-word narrative passages from Van Dyke Parks.[39] The work received its world premiere over six nights at the Royal Festival Hall from September 10 to 16, 2007, performed by the band alongside a 40-piece orchestra, blending vocal harmonies, orchestral arrangements by Paul Von Mertens, and visual projections evoking Southern California themes.[40] The band then took the piece to the Sydney Festival, performing it at the State Theatre in January 2008 accompanied by Australian string ensemble FourPlay.[41] Following those live performances, Wilson and the band recorded the studio version between January and April 2008 at Capitol Studios in Los Angeles, with the album released on September 2, 2008 by Capitol Records[42] The album was recorded with the core touring band, credited collectively on the release as "That Lucky Old Band," with Bennett and Von Mertens receiving additional production and orchestration credits respectively.That Lucky Old Sun received generally favorable reviews, with Rolling Stone awarding it four stars and the record debuting at number 21 on the Billboard 200 and number 37 on the UK Albums Chart.[43][44] Also around this time, bassist Bob Lizik departed the touring lineup; he was replaced by Brett Simons, who performed with the band and contributed to the recording of That Lucky Old Sun before Lizik eventually returned after the 2012 reunion.[45][46]. Mike D'Amico also returned, taking over drums from Jim Hines.

In 2009, Walt Disney Records approached Wilson about recording a collection of George and Ira Gershwin songs as part of the Disney Pearl Series; Wilson agreed, with the Gershwin estate granting him access to over 100 unfinished fragments for the project.[47] The resulting album, Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin, was released on August 17, 2010, and reached number one on the Billboard Jazz Chart.[48] The album's orchestrations and musical arrangements were developed by Wilson in close collaboration with band member Paul Von Mertens, whose woodwind and conducting work was central to the project's distinctive sound, while band member Scott Bennett co-wrote and supplied lyrics for two tracks completed from unfinished Gershwin fragments: "The Like in I Love You" and "Nothing But Love."[49] Wilson and the band toured the album in 2011, performing the record in its entirety alongside Beach Boys classics in a format similar to the earlier Pet Sounds and SMiLE concert runs.[50] The Reimagines Gershwin tour comprised 35 dates across North America and Europe, including a return engagement at the Royal Festival Hall in London in September 2011.[51]. Backing vocalist and percussionist Taylor Mills also departed the touring lineup in 2011.

The Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion (2012)

edit

In 2012, the original surviving members of The Beach Boys: Wilson, Jardine, Mike Love, Bruce Johnston, and David Marks, reunited for the 50th Anniversary Tour.[52] Most of Wilson's touring band formed the backbone of the reunion ensemble, with Darian Sahanaja, Jeffrey Foskett, Scott Bennett, Nelson Bragg, Mike D'Amico (playing bass), Probyn Gregory, and Paul Von Mertens all performing alongside the original members, joined by Love and Johnston's touring members.[53] The tour ran for 75 shows from April 24 through September 28, 2012, before the reunion dissolved amid reported disagreements, with Love announcing that Wilson, Jardine, and Marks would no longer be part of the group going forward.[54] The gap in Wilson's solo touring activity this year is reflected in his band's history as a hiatus year; by 2013, Jardine had joined Wilson's road band as a regular member.[55]

Post-reunion era: No Pier Pressure, Pet Sounds 50th Anniversary, and continued touring (2013–2022)

edit

Following the dissolution of the reunion, Wilson resumed solo touring in 2013 with a reconstituted band that included several returning members alongside new additions. Al Jardine rejoined as a permanent touring member.[56] David Marks and Blondie Chaplin, both former Beach Boys, appeared during the 2013–2014 run.[57]. Bob Lizik also returned to the band on bass. Jeffrey Foskett's final show with Wilson took place on January 20, 2014, at an acoustic event at the Gibson Showroom in Hollywood; he later said he left due to burnout from years of constant touring.[58] Matt Jardine, son of Al Jardine, assumed a permanent vocal role from 2014, singing falsetto parts that Foskett previously covered.[59]. Brian Eichenberger filled in and joined Matt Jardine on falsetto vocals for a brief stint from September 2014-January 2015.

Wilson's tenth studio album, No Pier Pressure, was released on April 7, 2015, on Capitol Records, co-produced with Joe Thomas, who had worked with Wilson on the Beach Boys' 2012 reunion album, That's Why God Made the Radio.[60] Recorded at Ocean Way Studios in Hollywood, the album featured guest appearances from Kacey Musgraves, Nate Ruess of fun., Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward of She & Him, and former Beach Boys Al Jardine, David Marks, and Blondie Chaplin, alongside core band members Scott Bennett, Paul Von Mertens, Darian Sahanaja, Probyn Gregory, Matt Jardine, and former member Jeffrey Foskett.[61] The album received mixed-to-favorable reviews; Rolling Stone noted that the harmonies sounded particularly strong when Jardine and other Beach Boys collaborators were present, and singled out the closing track "The Last Song" as one of Wilson's finest compositions in years.[62] The accompanying North American summer tour, billed as the No Pier Pressure Tour: With Al Jardine and Blondie Chaplin, comprised approximately 40 dates across the United States and Canada, with Rodriguez serving as the opening act on many dates.[63] The tour's setlists drew heavily on the early-1960s Beach Boys catalogue alongside album cuts, with Jardine, Chaplin, and Matt Jardine sharing lead vocal duties throughout the shows alongside Wilson and Sahanaja.[64]. This tour marked the return of Blondie Chaplin as a full-time member of the Brian Wilson band, which he stayed as until Wilson's final show in 2022.[65]

Scott Bennett, who had been with Wilson since the 1998 Imagination sessions, was arrested following a sexual assault incident at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino near Tulsa, Oklahoma in December 2014; he was subsequently convicted of rape by instrumentation and sexual battery in April 2016 and sentenced to five years in prison.[66] He was not involved in Wilson's subsequent touring.[67] Gary Griffin, a keyboardist with a long prior association with The Beach Boys and Wilson, starting from 1978 with the M.I.U. Album, replaced Bennett joined the touring band in late 2015.[68]

The 50th anniversary of Pet Sounds in 2016 prompted another major international tour performing the album in full.[69]. Billy Hinsche and Debbie Shair substituted on keyboards for Darian Sahanaja during various parts of the tour. Performances of the album in full would continue through 2019. Rob Bonfiglio, Wilson's son-in-law, joined as an additional lead guitarist and vocalist filling in for Matt Jardine in late 2018, for when the band did a brief tour performing The Beach Boys' Christmas Album in full. Percussionist and vocalist Jim Laspesa also replaced Nelson Bragg in the touring lineup that year. [70] Founding Wondermints member Nick Walusko died on August 7, 2019, in Buffalo, New York, just hours after arriving with the band to begin Wilson's Pet Sounds: The Final Performances tour; Wilson placed his guitars and a bouquet of flowers on Walusko's usual spot onstage in tribute that night, along with skipping the instrumental titular track in his honor.[71][72]

Wilson continued to tour before and after the COVID-19 pandemic for his Greatest Hits Live! tours. His final performance took place on July 26, 2022, at Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston, Michigan, the closing date of a co-headline tour with Chicago.[73] In 2024, his family announced he had been diagnosed with dementia and he was placed under conservatorship; he died on June 11, 2025.[74]

Al Jardine and The Pet Sounds Band (2025–present)

edit

In March 2025, Al Jardine announced the formation of the Pet Sounds Band and began reassembling core members of Wilson's former touring band.[75] Led by Darian Sahanaja as musical director, the group includes Matt Jardine, Bob Lizik, Mike D'Amico, Jim Laspesa, Gary Griffin, Rob Bonfiglio, Paul Von Mertens, and newer members Debbie Shair (keyboards/backing vocals) and Emeen Zarookian (guitar/keyboards/backing vocals). Longtime Beach Boys associate guitarist Randell Kirsch fills in for either Zarookian or Bonfiglio at select shows. The name "Pet Sounds Band" was the idea of Al Jardine himself, chosen to reflect the ensemble's identity and repertoire without encroaching on the Beach Boys name, which is held by Mike Love's touring outfit. Jardine has described the band's purpose as offering something beyond a standard hits show: performing deep catalogue material while still delivering the familiar songs audiences expect. The band's touring show is presented as a tribute to Brian Wilson and performs material from across the Beach Boys catalogue, with Jardine noting that each member onstage is paying tribute to both Brian and the late Carl Wilson, with Sahanaja taking on many of Carl's vocal parts.[76] Although Brian Wilson was no longer capable of substantial stage appearances, Jardine had initially hoped that he could have made a guest appearance at one of the band's California shows when they took the road that summer; Wilson died on June 11, 2025, before the tour began. "I was hoping he'd be there to approve," Jardine told Rolling Stone, while Jardine told Variety separately that the death "was not expected" and that he had believed Wilson was on the mend following a visit the previous month.[77][78]

The setlist blends classic Beach Boys hits with a large sampling of songs from the overlooked 1970s albums 15 Big Ones, The Beach Boys Love You, and M.I.U. Album.[79] After the band's debut performance at the Mystic Amphitheater at Mystic Lake Casino in Prior Lake, Minnesota on July 4, 2025, the band began incorporating eleven songs from the Love You album into their setlists.[80] Most of the songs had not previously been performed live by any members of the Beach Boys.[81] On February 27, 2026, the band performed the Love You album in full for the first time ever at the United Theater on Broadway in Los Angeles. Marilyn Wilson, who sang the duet "Let's Put Our Hearts Together" with Brian Wilson on the original recording, joined the band onstage for the song's live debut at that show.[82] Lead vocal duties across the band's shows are shared among Al Jardine, Matt Jardine, Sahanaja, Griffin, Bonfiglio, and Laspesa.[83]

Along with several US dates planned for the remainder 2026, the band is scheduled to return to Australia in June and July 2026, which were dates originally scheduled for October and November 2025 before being rescheduled due to conflicting schedules.[84] The Australian run includes shows at the Sydney Opera House, Melbourne's Hamer Hall, and venues in Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, and Newcastle.[85]
