The Beach Boys are coming to Syracuse for a Christmas concert.
‘Tis the Season with The Beach Boys featuring The Holiday Vibrations Orchestra will stop at the The Oncenter Crouse Hinds Theater on Wednesday, Dec. 7, to perform songs from the iconic band’s 1964 Christmas album as well as lead singer Mike Love’s holiday album, “Reason for the Season.” The show is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets go on sale Friday, Oct. 7 at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster or in person at the Solvay Bank Box Office at The Oncenter (760 S. State Street, Syracuse, NY 13202). Prices range from $40-$190; additional fees may apply.
According to a press release, The Beach Boys will perform new holiday songs and Christmas classics from ranging from bright guitar and horn-filled pop and rock and track to softer traditional carols and ballads. “Reason for the Season,” released by 2018 by Love, was produced by Sam Hollander (One Direction, Panic! at the Disco, Train) and Steve Greenberg (Hanson, AJR), and features Hanson on “Finally It’s Christmas” as well as tracks with Love’s children Ambha, Brian, Christian and Hayleigh Love.
The Beach Boys last performed in Syracuse at the 2021 New York State Fair. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band, co-founded by Love, is best known for ‘60s hits like “Good Vibrations,” “California Girls,” “Kokomo,” “I Get Around,” “Surfin’ Safari” and “God Only Knows.”
