Since the band’s co-founder, lead-singer and chief lyricist Mike Love penned the lyrics to The Beach Boys’ first hit,“Surfin’” (1961), dozens of the bands chart toppers have become eternal anthems of American youth: “Surfin’ USA,” “Surfer Girl,” “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “I Get Around,” “California Girls,” “Help Me Rhonda,” “Barbara Ann,” “Good Vibrations,” “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” “Rock and Roll Music” and “Kokomo.”
The Beach Boys have sold over 100 million records worldwide and have received more than 33 RIAA Platinum and Gold record awards. The Rock And Roll Hall of Famers where also honored at the 2001 Grammy Awards with the Lifetime Achievement Award. With more than five decades of touring under their belts, The Beach Boys have performed more concerts than any major rock band in history.
The Beach Boys are led by legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Grammy® winner, New York Times best-selling author, cofounder, lead singer, chief lyricist of The Beach Boys, and 2025 Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, Mike Love, who, along with longtime member Bruce Johnston, musical director Brian Eichenberger, Christian Love, Tim Bonhomme, Jon Bolton, Keith Hubacher, Randy Leago and John Wedemeyer continue the legacy of the iconic band.
This event is presented in conjunction with Middlesex Community College Foundation’s 2025 Celebrity Forum. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, please contact Sherri McCormack at mccormacks@middlesex.mass.edu or call 978-656-3034.

Book Chat on Friends Divided with author Gordon S. Wood
2025-06-10 14:00 - 15:00 | The Depot
One of the most iconic duos in Revolutionary history, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson famously worked together through the Continental Congress before feuding for decades. Later, they miraculously rekindled a fierce friendship before dying on the same day, 50 years to the day of the Declaration of Independence’s signing. Their relationship allows us a unique look at how the American Revolution affected those of different social classes and ideologies, and how such disparate ideas were able to exist side by side in the new Republic.
In our last Book Chat of this season, join award-winning Revolutionary War historian Gordon S. Wood in an interactive discussion about these fascinating founding fathers.
Interested in further Book Chats? We will also be discussing picks for next year – all are welcome to bring ideas on interesting Revolutionary books to read!
The last book chat of each series is always FREE, but registration is required!

Full Bloom: June 4th – 29th at the Loading Dock Gallery, 122 Western Avenue, Lowell, MA, Noon-5:30 pm, Wednesday-Friday and 10:00am-3:30pm Saturday & Sunday. Free Admission. The opening reception is June 7th from 3-5 PM. More at www.theloadingdockgallery.com .
