Just announced! Grammy Award-winning music legend and Beach Boys co-founder, Brian Wilson, returns to the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall on Tuesday, December 11, 2018 at 7:30 PM.

Harmonies. That's what Christmas songs are all about for music legend Brian Wilson. From the seminal 1964 classic The Beach Boys' Christmas Album to his acclaimed 2005 solo effort, What I Really Want for Christmas, Wilson has been bringing holiday cheer to the world for more than five decades.

This holiday season, for the first time Wilson and his crack band of musicians and vocalists, along with long time bandmates Al Jardine and Blondie Chaplin, will be performing the Christmas Album in its entirety along with cuts from his solo Christmas album and other holiday fan favorites.

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." He will also perform songs from his critically acclaimed solo album All I Really Want for Christmas named for its Bernie Taupin-penned title track as well as "Christmasey," with lyrics by his friend Jimmy Webb.

Known for his 'California sound', Brian Wilson has written over two-dozen top 40 hit songs for the legendary group. His honors include winning Grammy Awards and being inducted into the 1988 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Don't Miss Wilson perform the greatest holiday hits from his Christmas Album live on the Van Wezel stage!

Tickets are $35 -$130 and will go on sale Friday, April 6th at 10am. Purchase at VanWezel.org, the Box Office, or by calling 941-953-3368
