What is the Date of the Concert?
Saturday June 13, 2026
Who is performing:
DEAN TORRENCE was the co-founder, co-lead singer and co-writer of the hit surf duo JAN & DEAN. The duo scored a huge string of hit songs throughout the 60s until Jan’s tragic car crash near the Sunset Boulevard setting of their hit Dead Man’s Curve put their career on hold. The duo reunited in 1978 after their highly rated biopic Deadman’s Curve aired on CBS and successfully toured for the next three decades. Since Jan Berry’s passing in 2004, Dean has kept the Beach Party going, and brings the greatest hits of JAN & DEAN and THE BEACH BOYS with his band THE SURF CITY ALLSTARS, including Surf City, Drag City, I Get Around, The Little Old Lady From Pasadena, California Girls, Ride the Wild Surf, Little Deuce Coupe, Sidewalk Surfin’, Barbara Ann, Good Vibrations and Fun Fun Fun. The equally legendary Surf City Allstars are the only band in the world featuring members who’ve played and sang lead vocals with both the Beach Boys and Jan & Dean bands.
Joining Dean and the Surf City Allstars for this event…Award-winning actor BRUCE DAVISON (NCIS, 1923, Ozark, X-Men), who actually portrayed Dean Torrence on screen in the Jan & Dean biopic Deadman’s Curve, and DIAMOND FARNSWORTH (NCIS, JAG, Pearl Harbor, Batman Forever), legendary actor, stunt coordinator and stuntman who doubled for Bruce as Dean in Deadman’s Curve.
