Co-founding member of The Beach Boys – Brian
Wilson makes a welcome return to the UK to perform Good Vibrations Greatest
Hits Live across the country, with special guests Al Jardine and Blondie
Chaplin.
Wilson has been universally hailed as a writer of one of
the greatest American songbooks, Pet Sounds, which has reigned atop countless
critic and fan polls, and has maintained its timeless rank as one of popular
music’s most-cited influences. The Pet Sounds Anniversary World Tour was named
one of Rolling Stone’s Greatest Tours of 2017; it travelled to more than 24
countries for 180 performances from 2016-2018.
As a teenager, Wilson co-founded The Beach Boys, signing
with Capitol Records in July 1962 and releasing the band’s first album, Surfin’
Safari, that same year. Their 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 number one smash, Good Vibrations, established The
Beach Boys as America’s preeminent band of the 1960s.
Wilson has also achieved great success as a solo artist,
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.
In 2015, Wilson released his solo album No Pier Pressure
and was the subject of the critically acclaimed, award-winning biopic Love
& Mercy. Directed by Bill Pohlad and starring John Cusack, Paul Dano,
Elizabeth Banks and Paul Giamatti, Love & Mercy presents an unconventional
portrait of the music legend. Set against the era-defining catalogue of the
music, the film intimately examines the personal voyage and ultimate salvation
of the iconic performer whose success came at an extraordinary personal cost.
The culmination of these projects produced Wilson’s first Golden Globe
nomination for Best Original Song (Motion Picture) for One Kind of Love, which
was featured in the film.
Brian Wilson is a Kennedy Center Honours recipient, a
Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, and a U.K. Music Hall of Fame inductee. As a
member of The Beach Boys, Wilson was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of
Fame in 1988, and honoured with The Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement
Award in 2001.
