Brian Wilson’s Sunny Outlook
Wilson, who will perform the new album in its entirety, kicks off the tour November 10 at Ryman Auditorium in Nashville and will visit 10 cities before wrapping at the end of the month.
Stops include Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor (November 12), State Theater in Minneapolis (November 15), Warner Theater in Washington, D.C. (November 18), Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City (November 21) and Wellmont Theatre in Montclair, N.J. (November 23).
Tickets for most shows are available at Ticketmaster.com, with additional shows going on sale in the coming days.
Sun, which was released earlier this month, sees Wilson returning to Capitol Records/EMI, his original label home.
The album, which Wilson describes as a “musical love letter from Southern California,” continues the concept album tradition of Pet Sounds and SMiLE and is narrated in transitional interludes by Wilson as “That Lucky Old Sun,” the storyteller.
Wilson and his band will make an October 10 appearance on NPR’s “World CafĂ©” to perform a mix of songs from Sun and classic hits.
