Icon and trailblazer – Brian Wilson spearheaded a musical revolution as founding member of The Beach Boys. The band who, since 1961, have epitomized the sound of California, surfing, and sunshine. Now, Brian a true musical legend returns to his rich catalogue of hits and performs these historically popular songs in their purest form – just Brian, alone with no vocals, just his piano. At My Piano is a deeply relaxing collection of memorable songs that includes "God Only Knows," "Wouldn't It Be Nice," "California Girls," "Good Vibrations" and many more, performed with the lucid clarity that a solo piano composition creates. A perfect album for sunsets and golden days.
"We had an upright piano in our living room and from the time I was 12 years old I played it each and every day," Wilson shares. "I never had a lesson, I was completely self-taught. I can't express how much the piano has played such an important part in my life. It has bought me comfort, joy and security. It has fueled my creativity as well as my competitive nature. I play it when I'm happy or feeling sad. I love playing for people and I love playing alone when no one is listening. Honestly, the piano and the music I create on it has probably saved my life."
