As vanguards of the California surf rock sound belting out beach-themed, summertime lyrics backed by harmonized vocals, the Beach Boys personify surf culture, popularizing it worldwide. This garbage band-turned-pop legends are influences for derivative rock music, such as punk rock and garage rock, and musical artists and groups, including Paul McCartney and R.E.M. The Beach Boys North American tour of 2017-2018 features music from the group’s compilation album, 1967 – Sunshine Tomorrow, which was released in June 2017. This album includes unreleased songs and live recordings, including “Wild Honey” and “California”– a Billboard chart-topping rock ‘n’ roll hit. Expect to hear other tour music from this musical group’s other popular albums, including Pet Sounds, Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!), Surfin’ U.S.A. , and All Summer Long. Some of the group’s previous tours are the 2012 50th Reunion Tour, and 2016 Pet Sounds 50th Anniversary World Tour.
The Beach Boys live concert experience involves listening to the glossy vocal harmonizing in the signature California rock tunes the group is known for alongside a live band playing the relaxing, psychedelic sounds from hits such as “Surfin’ U.S.A.” and “Barbara Ann.” The Beach Boys’ accolades stretch decades, including multiple Grammy Award nominations for “Good Vibrations” in 1967, a 1989 Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for “Kokomo,” a 2001 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and Hall of Fame inductions in 1994 for “Good Vibrations” and in 2017 for “I Get Around.” Check out The Beach Boys concert tour dates to see this classic American rock ‘n’ roll group live.
