"There were so many cities on this great tour that myself, my band, Al, and Blondie just couldn't get to playing," says Wilson. "We're performing more shows than ever before and the fans keep asking for more! It's been a real trip so far and I'm happy that we'll have the chance to reach so many people that weren't able to catch our shows this year."
Garnering critical acclaim and marking a true return to form, Wilson continues to deliver a live performance of Pet Sounds in its entirety, as well as top hits and fan favorites spanning his 54-year career with The Beach Boys and as a solo artist. Universally hailed as a writer of one of the greatest American songbooks, Pet Sounds has reigned atop countless critic and fan polls, and has maintained its timeless rank as one of popular music's most-cited influences.

Wilson began his career as a teenaged founding member of The Beach Boys, who signed with Capitol Records in July 1962 and released their first album, Surfin' Safari, that same year. The band's initial surf-rock focus was soon broadened to include other themes. Wilson's innovative vocal and instrumental arrangements for major hits including "I Get Around," "California Girls," "Wouldn't It Be Nice," "God Only Knows," and the No. 1 smash "Good Vibrations" made The Beach Boys America's preeminent band of the 1960s.

Wilson has also achieved great solo success with 11 of his own albums released to date, including his acclaimed 2004 completion of an album he first began recording in the '60s, BrIan Wilson Presents... SMiLE. The album earnEd Wilson his first Grammy® for a recording, which was followed by his second Grammy ® win for producing The Beach Boys' acclaimed 2011 release, The SMiLE Sessions.

BrIan Wilson is a Kennedy Center Honors recipient, a Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, and a U.K. Music Hall of Fame inductee.
