Al Jardine to perform at Hawaii Theatre Center

Al Jardine was born in Lima, Ohio, but spent his teens in Hawthorne, Calif. He met Brian Wilson when they were on the Hawthorne High School football team. They shared an interest in music, and when Brian decided to form a pop vocal group with his younger brothers, Dennis and Carl, in 1961, he invited Jardine to join them. The result was the Beach Boys — with the Wilsons’ cousin, Mike Love, on lead vocals; guitarist David Marks in the early years; and Bruce Johnston who joined them in 1965 — one of the biggest American groups of the rock era.
