We’ve had the honor of his performance and participation for many many years with the Beach Boys. Taking his place in the band is Chris Cron, a supremely gifted vocalist who fronts the Beach Boys tribute act Pet Sounds Live. As you can see from the above video, he’s able to re-create vintage Beach Boys vocal parts with stunning precision. He began quietly sitting in with the Beach Boys in late February, though he still has shows booked with Pet Sounds Live when the Beach Boys are inactive. Jardine and the Pet Sounds Band resume their tour on April 11 at the Scottish Rite Auditorium in Collingswood, New Jersey.
