Today we're celebrating the musical genius of the late Brian Wilson. A founding member of the 60s surf rock group, The Beach Boys, his groundbreaking lyrics and melodies have shaped generations and defined an era.
In this episode, Marlene dives into his musical legacy by looking at one of the band’s most iconic hits: Surfin’ USA. She'll talk about the inspiration behind the song, how the band brought it to life and her playing recommendations to help you bring a little surf sound into your own music!
BTW...this song could be a fun addition to your 4th of July repertoire!
