Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum Presents
An Evening With David Marks
Original member of the Beach Boys to tell his story and sign copies of his new book, The Lost Beach Boy: The True Story of David Marks, One of the Founding Members of the Beach Boys
CLEVELAND (June 15, 2007) The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is pleased to host An Evening with David Marks on Wednesday, June 27, 2007 at 7 p.m. in the Museum’s Fourth Floor Theater. This event is presented in conjunction with the Museum’s Summer Teacher Institute and the special exhibit Catch a Wave: The Beach Boys, the Early Years.
David Marks began playing music with his neighbors, Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, in 1958 when he was 10 years old. It was in the spring of 1962 that Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, their cousin Mike Love and neighbor David Marks, also known as the Beach Boys, became Capitol Records recording stars. In just 18 short months, the band would record some of rock music’s most beloved anthems such as “Surfin Safari,” “Surfin’ USA,” “Surfer Girl,” “In My Room” and “409.” Then in late 1963 at the young age of 15, Marks walked away from the Beach Boys and went on to record solo material for A&M, Warner Brothers, Imperial and Dot records all before he was 21 years old. Marks is one of the last true rock and roll heroes whose story somehow went untold…until now.
