In the groove with Al Jardine

In Concert

Al Jardine
Best known for being one of the founding members oft the Beach Boys, Al Jardine continues creating and performing, as he redefines a celebrated career. Acclaimed for their perfect harmonies and original tunes about surfing, beaches, hot rods and California girls, Jardine and the Beach Boys remain known as the rock ‘n’ roll voice of the West Coast in the ‘60s and ‘70s. In 2018, Jardine began playing solo shows on a tour featuring songs and stories from his early days to his solo album “A Postcard from California.” Jardine, along with his son Matt Jardine, delivers an intimate show full of hits and rarities combined with never-before-heard anecdotes (and rare pictures and videos) from his fascinating career. The concert, designed to be acoustic, up close and intimate, is named after his debut solo album, 2010’s “A Postcard From California.”  While it includes multimedia aspects, the show’s focus is on the music and the stories behind how it all came to be.
Friday, July 26, 8 p.m. $85. My Father’s Place at the Roslyn Hotel, 1221 Old Northern Blvd., Roslyn. (516) 413-3535 or www.myfathersplace.com.

On Stage

Jessie’s Girl
Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, neon, zebra strips, big hair! No other decade or genre of music is quite as colorful, or as much fun, as the ‘80s. Jessie’s Girl, a band of NYC’s top rock/pop musicians and singers gets everyone into that “Back to the Eighties!” vibe with their popular concert experience. With a lineup including four pop-rock vocalists dressing and performing as ‘80s icons, and a band whose members’ performances have been described by the ‘80s artists themselves as “Spot on” (Debbie Gibson), “Amazing” (Tiffany) and “Super tight” (MC Hammer) this considered the definitive 80s experience! Throw on top of that a load of super-fun choreography, audience participation, props, costumes, bubbles, and confetti — and you have a party that audiences don’t want to leave. It’s the crowds that keep this going, and it is quite the norm for fans to dress up in their best neon, spandex and leopard spots. So throw on your best neon and use extra hair spray on that hair — because it’s time to party like it’s 1989.
Friday, July 26, 8 p.m. $30, $25, $15. The Paramount, 370 New York Ave., Huntington. (800) 745-3000 or www.ticketmaster.com or www.paramountny.com.
