TOUR STARTS JUNE 15 IN KITCHENER, ONTARIO
 Brian Wilson |
Brian Wilson will embark
on his first-ever cross-Canada tour in
June of 2011. For many Canadians, the tour represents their first opportunity to directly experience
and pay homage to this unrivaled mainstay of the cultural soundtrack. Audiences can look forward
to a musical tour de force as Wilson performs his latest critically acclaimed album Brian Wilson Reimagines
Gershwin in its entirety, along with a selection of classics from both the Brian Wilson and
Beach Boys back-catalogues.
“I’ve always tried to make music that entertained people,” Wilson said. “I also wanted my music to
last, to be able to speak to any generation. Thankfully, nearly 50 years since the Beach Boys were
born, that seems to have come true. Now, with this album a new musical chapter begins for me,
and it’s going to be a chapter to remember. I promise.”
