The Beau Brummels were an American rock band that formed in 1964 and originally consisted of singer Sal Valentino, lead guitarist Ron Elliott, bassist Ron Meagher, rhythm guitarist Declan Mulligan and drummer John Petersen.

Local radio disc jockeys Tom Donahue and Bobby Mitchell discovered the band at a club near San Francisco.

[8] By 1969 the Beau Brummels had been reduced to a duo consisting of Valentino and Elliott, and they decided to part ways to pursue solo projects and participate on recordings with other artists.

[12] The group split up soon after the album's release, but the Beau Brummels continued to perform live in various incarnations from the late 1970s to the early 2000s.

[13][14] Fourteen compilation albums featuring the band's music have been released, including two box sets: San Fran Sessions (1996), which contains 60 demos, outtakes, rarities and unissued performances recorded from 1964 to 1966;[15] and Magic Hollow (2005), which collects 113 singles, album tracks, demos and previously unreleased material.
