As for why Dave’s not named, maybe he’s got court stuff from the domestic disturbance arrest. The fact that he’s not listed is something that makes me think my calendar is going to say Sept 21. Btw this went up yesterday.
Beach Boys front man Mike Love is ready to ring in the holiday season, announcing the release of an all-new Christmas album, and plans for a Beach Boys holiday tour!
The 22-date trek gets underway November 16 with a show in Chattanooga, TN before taking the gang to a slew of cities across the US including Boston, Baltimore, Ann Arbor, Charlotte, and Salt Lake City. A final performance in Denver, CO will wrap things up on December 30.
The tour will feature Mike, Brian, Al, and Bruce playing a mix of holiday classics as well as some original songs from Love’s upcoming Christmas album, Reason For The Season. The album will include the Beach Boys’ “Oh Come All Ye Faithful” and “Little St. Nick” off their iconic album The Beach Boys’ Christmas Album.
Released in December 1964, The Beach Boys’ Christmas Album is regarded as one of the finest holiday albums of the rock era, spawning several hit singles including “The Man With All The Toys,” which peaked at the number six spot on the US Billboard Christmas chart.
“Music is something that always brought my family together, especially around Christmas time,” Love said of the upcoming album. “What is so special about this collection of songs is that they both harken back to the wonder of childhood and family, but also feel very relevant and exciting for a new season of listening. It’s such a joy to create this music with my actual family and my family of collaborators, Sam, Steve, Michael Lloyd, Scott, and Hanson. We’re looking forward to being part of the soundtrack of many holiday seasons to come.”
Reason For The Season is due out on October 26.
