About the band
The Swell
Sounds of The Beach Boys, from musicians who have toured with the originals
Our story.
The Swell is a love letter to The Beach Boys. Its live show celebrates the songs, the harmonies, and the joy they carry.
The musicians are not impersonators. They bring the harmonies and arrangements to life with care for the details that made these records special. Co-founders Brian Eichenberger and Chris Cron have both performed in The Beach Boys’ touring band. Eichenberger brings more than a decade of touring experience with The Brian Wilson Band and The Beach Boys.
On the road
Touring beside original members has taught them more than the arrangements. They’ve seen, night after night, how deeply these songs connect with people.
Music that keeps moving.
A wave breaking on the shore is a local expression of a swell that has been crossing the ocean for weeks. That’s the idea behind the name: musical energy and heritage moving through generations, bigger than any one musician. The Swell gives that energy a voice, here and now.
A teenage summer. A childhood car ride. The memories change from generation to generation. The feeling stays.
A room full of harmony
The show brings people together to sing along, dance, and share the warmth, hope, and joy of a favorite Beach Boys song.
