‘Fun, Fun, Fun’ With The Beach Boys

The excursion includes a special show July 5 in Wantagh, N.Y., at Jones Beach featuring appearance from Al Jardine and David Marks.

In other Beach Boys news, Grammy-winning singer and guitarist Jeffrey Foskett has signed on as a permanent member of the touring band, taking the place of Christian Love.

“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.

“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.”

Along with Love and Foskett, the touring band includes singer Bruce Johnston, musical director Scott Totten, keyboardist Tim Bonhomme, bassist Randell Kirsch and drummer John Cowsill.
