My Rock Moment: Al Jardine on Brian Wilson, The Beach Boys, and His Latest EP and Tour

In this very special episode of My Rock Moment, host Amanda Morck welcomes Beach Boys founding member Al Jardine for an intimate and heartfelt conversation—just a week after the passing of his lifelong friend and bandmate, Brian Wilson. As fans around the world reflect on the legacy of the Beach Boys, Al shares personal memories of his journey with Brian, the creative magic they built together, and the emotional weight of continuing on without him. He also gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the inspiration and heart behind his new solo EP, Islands in the Sun. Now in his 80s, Al isn’t slowing down. He’s preparing to hit the road this summer with The Pet Sounds Band, bringing the timeless harmonies and California spirit to audiences once again—starting July 4th. This episode is a moving tribute to brotherhood, resilience, and the enduring power of surf, sun, and soul.
