We lost two giants in the music world recently, both 82 years old. Sly Stone of Sly and the Family Stone, and Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys were pioneers in their own way. Sly and the Family Stone was a mixed-race, mixed-gender band, revolutionary at the time and their music was fun and funky, with a message of acceptance for all people. Brian Wilson was pure genius, creating the California surf sound. His music even influenced The Beatles. Both gave us some of the most memorable music and especially those great summer sounds!

See below for the amazing variety of great music items you can find at the show!
