This week, Brian Wilson, co-founding singer, songwriter, and widely-renowned recording wizard of The Beach Boys announced a run of special Holiday-themed dates late this year. The tour will also feature special guests Al Jardine and Blondie Chaplin, Wilson’s longtime bandmates with The Beach Boys.
The tour, set to begin on November 28th in Minneapolis, will mark the first time that Wilson and his solo band have performed The Beach Boys’ Christmas Album (1964) in its entirety. The shows will also include cuts from Wilson’s solo Christmas album, 2005’s What I Really Want For Christmas and other cheerful holiday numbers. According to the tour announcement press release, fans can expect to hear Beach Boy classics “Little Saint Nick”, “The Man with all The Toys”, and a selection of Brian’s favorite Yuletide songs including “Blue Christmas” and “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town”.
Wilson is coming off a wildly successful tour celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Beach Boys’ landmark 1966 album, Pet Sounds, which kept him on the road for the majority of 2016 and 2017 after repeated tour extensions due to popular demand.
