Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Music Power Trail (MPT for short)

Along Dave Brubeck road, you will find some of my favorite bands and artists. Here there are classical, pop rock, heavy metal, jazz, alternative, and blues musicians.

Some of these bands I grew up listening to as a kid, others I developed a love for them in my adulthood.

Congrats to Winston4Ever for FTF

The Beach Boys

The Beach Boys are an American rock band formed in Hawthorne, California in 1961. The group's original lineup consisted of brothers Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson, their cousin Mike Love, and their friend Al Jardine. Distinguished by their vocal harmonies and early surf songs, they are one of the most influential acts of the rock era. The band drew on the music of jazz-based vocal groups, 1950’s rock and roll, and black R&B to create their unique sound, and with Brian as composer, arranger, producer, and de facto leader, they often incorporated classical or jazz elements and unconventional recording techniques in innovative ways.

To find the final, you’ll need to solve the puzzle.
