Mary Anne Hobbs is joined by Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson, who is currently touring the group's iconic album 'Pet Sounds'.

Brian Wilson co-founded the Beach Boys in California in 1961. Together, they released 29 studio albums, sold over 100 million records and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

In 2000, after going solo, Brian was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and later received the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors for lifetime contribution to the performing arts. He is one of the most influential songwriters in rock 'n' roll history...
