Brian Wilson Presents The Christmas Album Live!
Brian Wilson presents The Christmas Album Live with special guests Al Jardine and Blondie Chaplin at the Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center on December 16.
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 All 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 longtime 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” and “Man with all The Toys” and a selection of Brian’s favorite Yuletide songs including “Blue Christmas” and “Santa Clause 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.
Brian Wilson is a co-founder of The Beach Boys, a Kennedy Center Honors recipient, a Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, a multiple-GRAMMY® award winner, and a U.K. Music Hall of Fame inductee.
