THE BEACH BOYS CELEBRATE 50 YEARS OF 
“FUN, FUN, FUN” WITH NEW U.S. & INTERNATIONAL TOUR DATES

LOS ANGELES, CA, MAY 15, 2014 — Fifty years after recording one of the greatest summer anthems of all time, “Fun, Fun, Fun,” Grammy® Award-winning and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band, The Beach Boys, are in full swing for a U.S. tour and select international dates. The Beach Boys will be playing a host of festivals, amphitheaters, concert halls and arenas throughout the year. On July 5th, The Beach Boys will play Jones Beach, with special appearances from Al Jardine and David Marks.

In addition, singer and guitarist Jeffrey Foskett has joined The Beach Boys as a permanent member of the group’s touring band. He replaces Christian Love, who is departing the band to pursue a solo career after eight years of touring.

“Year after year it’s been a great source of inspiration to see the happiness our music has brought to multiple generations of Beach Boy fans in so many parts of the world,” said Mike Love, lead singer and co-founder of The Beach Boys. “This summer I’m particularly excited for the Jones Beach show, which is such a terrific, iconic venue. It will be very special to share the stage with some old friends and bandmates, Al Jardine and David Marks. Bruce and I are really happy to have Jeffrey Foskett rejoin the band— he’s a great vocalist and musician and has a long history with The Beach Boys. It’s been awesome to have my son my Christian performing with us for much of the past decade. I’m so proud of him and I wish him well in his work as a solo artist. As talented as he is, I hope he’ll still want to join his Dad on stage every once and a while.”

Al Jardine and David Marks recently performed with Mike Love on stage at the Society of Singers gala in Los Angeles, where Love received the prestigious ELLA Award. At the February 25th event, Love was tributed by such legendary artists as Bill Medley, Micky Dolenz, America, Christopher Cross, Dean Torrence, Dave Koz and David Lee Roth.

Foskett has had a long and successful music career, both as a solo artist and playing alongside some of music’s greatest, including Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Ringo Starr. Since his first concert with The Beach Boys in 1981, Foskett has maintained a long relationship with the band, most recently working with co-founding member, Brian Wilson, on a number of projects including Smile, which garnered a Grammy® Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance. Foskett’s impressive vocal range can be heard on The Beach Boys’ 2012 album, That’s Why God Made the Radio, which debuted at number three on the Billboard album chart.

The Beach Boys touring band features lead singer and songwriter, Mike Love, Grammy® Award-winning artist Bruce Johnston, musical director Scott Totten, guitarist Jeffrey Foskett, keyboardist Tim Bonhomme, bass player Randell Kirsch and drummer John Cowsill.

At select venues, The Beach Boys will be offering three distinct VIP packages for fans to enjoy exclusive backstage access, front row seats, pictures and Q&A’s with the band, re-mastered Beach Boys songs, autographed USB laminate loaded music and other special memorabilia.
