Jon Stebbins
Jon Stebbins is a Los Osos, California-based musician, songwriter, documentary producer and author of four books about The Beach Boys, as well as two other books.
Stebbins was a member of a music band called 'The Point' which was active on the Los Angeles club circuit from 1979 to 1985. The Point were often described as part of L.A.'s psychedelic revival scene known as the Paisley Underground. They released a self-titled four song EP in 1981 that was described by the L.A. Times as having a "purity of intent that recalls the haunting resonance of pre-psychedelic Northern California groups like The Beau Brummels."
The Point released a full-length album in 1983 called Magic Circle, (not to be confused with the 2005 album of the same title by Wizard.) The record was produced by Vitus Matare of The Last and recorded at Radio Tokyo studio in Venice, California and released on the Warfrat label. Magic Circle was also released in Europe in 1984 on the Lolita label. One of its songs, "All My Life" which was co-written by Stebbins and Point co-founder Tom Alford was included in a 2006 episode of the Gilmore Girls television show.
Stebbins and his former Point bandmate Tom Alford resumed their songwriting partnership in 2020. That year Alford recorded and released the Alford/Stebbins composition “Moving In To Love” which received international airplay and reached #65 on the Radio Indie Alliance chart.
Stebbins currently plays guitar (as J Uno) in the Atascadero, California-based free-form psychedelic band Juneau Teausday.
Stebbins' first book, on the subject of Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson is entitled Dennis Wilson, The Real Beach Boy. Published in 2000, the book was ranked as the number two bestseller in MOJO magazine for that year.
In 2007 Virgin Books Ltd, London, published The Lost Beach Boy, which Stebbins wrote with David Marks, one of the early members of the Beach Boys, and which tells the story of Marks' time with the band in 1962–1963, as well as Marks' experiences after he left the Beach Boys in late 1963.
Stebbins has also written The Beach Boys FAQ - All That's Left To Know About America's Band, an extensive reference style book for Backbeat Books which was published in September 2011.
