Brian Wilson has pretty much ridden off into the sunset, and Mike Love is still out there tarnishing The Beach Boys’ legacy.

But Al Jardine—the other surviving member of the band’s best-known classic lineup—fronts his own “Endless Summer” band.

If you close your eyes, the 81-year-old rhythm guitarist’s son Matt will make you think that a young Wilson is in the room, singing those impossible high vocals on “Don’t Worry Baby” and beyond, which he’ll probably do this weekend in Anna Maria Island.

Tickets to see Al Jardine and his Endless Summer Band play The Center of Anna Maria Island on Saturday, April 6 are still available and start at $59.
