Sail On: The Beach Boys Tribute

Sail On plays the music of The Beach Boys. Performing all of the classic hits, plus some treasures from the brilliant extended catalog, Sail On faithfully recreates the soundtrack to an Endless Summer completely live and in rich detail without the aid of backing tracks or any other artificial musical supplementation.



The timeless songs of surfing, cruising, dancing, and dreaming are brought to life for all ages and anybody that wants to have Fun, Fun, Fun. Sing, clap, and move along to the irresistible beats and unforgettable tunes, or sit back and drift along on the sunny harmonies. There’s something for every music lover in the transcendent catalog of The Beach Boys – and Sail On keeps the Good Vibrations going for everyone that wants to join in.



Based in Nashville, TN, the members of Sail On have among them a long and varied list of composing, arranging, producing, engineering, and performing credits featured in media and venues both domestic and international. The band performs extensively across the U.S.A. at over eighty concerts a year. Bound by a shared love and admiration for the genius and enduring quality of The Beach Boys, Sail On continues to enjoy the unique challenge and privilege of bringing one of pop music’s greatest legacies to audiences everywhere.

The 2024 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with the SCETV documentary, Juke Joints and Honkytonk Legends. Their “Gaillard Auditoriums” are large, non-descript rooms with wooden tables, metal chairs, and a bar. Their “Bi-Lo Center ushers and doormen” are friends and family who double as roadies. Yet, for the love of the music, the performers and fans leave their 9 to 5 jobs to venture down the back roads of small southern communities to remote watering holes for down home blues, country and western, and bluegrass entertainment. This film is an excursion into a larger than life culture with roots that trace back to traditional African and folk music. It explores this nonconformist genre and the people who seek to preserve it. The film is free to the public and will be shown at 1:00 PM, Wednesday, August 7th, at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway. The Horry County Museum Documentary Film Matinees will continue throughout 2024.
