When someone asks me who my favorite composer of all time is, I usually say Brian Wilson – – the genius behind Pet Sounds, and the founding bassist of The Beach Boys, quite possibly America’s most beloved band. In spite of two dates at St. Pete’s Mahaffey Theater, Wilson (who now tours with original guitarist Al Jardine and frequent collaborator Blondie Chaplin) hasn’t been to Clearwater since his 2013 tour with Jeff Beck. But his cousin, original lead singer Mike Love, along with Bruce Johnston and the new incarnation of The Beach Boys, stop here consistently. And now, they’re back.
The Beach Boys will play Ruth Eckerd Hall on February 13, 2018, for the first time in fourteen months. Their last Clearwater shows were in December and February 2016, followed by January 2015. Tickets go on sale on rutheckerdhall.com this Friday at noon, and will range from $45-$75.
