Dear Friends,

In celebration of the 25th Anniversary reissue of Brian Wilson: Live at the Roxy Theatre — and in remembrance of Brian’s extraordinary legacy — several members of his legendary touring band are now available for interviews.

This landmark release marks the first official Brian Wilson title since his passing, offering a poignant look back at the performances that reignited his career. These musicians were there for it all — from the charged atmosphere of those 2000 Roxy shows to the deep sense of camaraderie that made Brian’s return to the stage so magical.

Available for Interviews:

• Bob Lizik — Bass. Also toured/recorded with Billy Joel, Mavis Staples, Dennis DeYoung, and Barbra Streisand.
• Probyn Gregory — Vocals, guitars, French horn, trumpet, tannerin. Has performed with The Monkees, Jan & Dean, Al Jardine, and Love.
• Darian Sahanaja — Vocals, keyboards, vibes. Co-founder of the Wondermints and longtime Brian Wilson musical director.
• Paul Mertens — Saxophones, flute, piccolo. Also known for work with Poi Dog Pondering, Stereolab, and Waco Brothers.
• David Leaf — Author and historian. Wrote liner notes for both the original and new reissue, and authored The Beach Boys and the California Myth and SMiLE: The Story of Brian Wilson’s Lost Masterpiece.

These conversations offer an intimate, firsthand perspective on Brian’s artistry and the transformative live performances that shaped his remarkable second act.

Please let me know if you’d like to schedule time with any of the participants.

Thanks,

“Backed by a 10-piece band featuring members of the power-pop group the Wondermints, Wilson delivered two nights loaded with memories that would never be forgotten and set lists that checked a lot of boxes for fans of surf music, the Beach Boys, and just harmony in general.” — Ultimate Classic Rock

Originally released in 2000 as Wilson’s first-ever live solo album, Live at the Roxy Theatre finds the Beach Boys co-founder performing classics like “California Girls,” “Surfer Girl,” “I Get Around,” and “Good Vibrations,” alongside latter-day originals including “The First Time” and “This Isn’t Love.” Backed by a powerhouse 10-piece band (Bob Lizik, Probyn Gregory, Darian Sahanaja, Paul Mertens, Nick Wlusko, Jeff Foskett, and more), Wilson’s warmth, humor, and genius shine through every note.

The new 25th Anniversary Edition expands that landmark moment with never-before-heard performances and tour recordings (2000–2009), produced by longtime collaborator Mark Linett and Oglio Records founder Carl Caprioglio, with new liner notes by David Leaf tracing how those Roxy shows sparked Wilson’s creative renaissance.

“With Brian’s passing this year, this edition isn’t just a reissue—it’s a heartfelt tribute to his artistry, his kindness, and the timeless music he shared with us.” — Carl Caprioglio, Oglio Records

“Those nights on the Sunset Strip turned out to be the beginning of Brian’s great second act… Looking back now, it’s clear: the Roxy was where Brian’s rebirth as a performer truly came alive.” — David Leaf
