The Museum of Western Film History would like to thank all who attended this year’s Concert in the Rocks, featuring Dean Torrence and the Surf City Allstars with special guests Bruce Davison and Diamond Farnsworth.
 
And we’d like to offer a very special thank you to all of our local sponsors and volunteers.  Without you, this wonderful annual concert would not happen each year.

SURF CITY ALLSTARS ARE COMING TO LONE PINE
With  DEAN TORRENCE of Jan & Dean

The Annual Concert in the Rocks will be held on Saturday, June 13, 2026.

The SURF CITY ALLSTARS are the only band in the world to have played and sang lead vocals in both the Jan & Dean band and the Beach Boys band.

The Concert in the Rocks has been a charity benefit dinner and concert held for over 30 years and is a major fundraiser for the Museum of Western Film History, whose collections and exhibits pay tribute to the legacy and heritage of Western Films in America. Every June, Lone Ranger Canyon, located in the magnificent Alabama Hills, and one of America’s greatest outdoor venues. is transformed into an “under the stars” venue for hosting the annual Lone Pine – “Concert in the Rocks.” The evening begins with a welcoming reception in the museum. Following the reception attendees are transported to the Alabama Hills for a “Cowboy Ranch” dinner preceding the show. The entertainment starts as early stars grace the evening sky and the setting sun’s shadows become long on the canyon. Soon, veiled lights create unique and mysterious shadows on the canyon walls. Cinematic Memories of our Western film heroes become freshly imagined as if it were a long-ago Saturday matinee.

** The Concert is held in Lone Ranger Canyon and in compliance of the BLM’s concerns over excess traffic in the Alabama Hills, all guests will be transported to and from the dinner venue by bus.
