The Beach Boys to perform at Amarillo Civic Center in September

Get ready for some "Good Vibrations."

The Beach Boys are coming to the Amarillo Civic Center Complex on Sept. 23, and the concert featuring their classic California sound begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets go on sale to the public at noon Friday.

The Beach Boys continue to create and perform with the same bold imagination and style that marked their explosive debut over 50 years ago, according to a news release with the concert announcement. In 2013, their Capitol Records release, "Sounds of Summer" and its companion "The Warmth of the Sun" marked a resurgence in Beach Boys interest that has again rocked the world.

Captained by Mike Love, The Beach Boys play a steady schedule of concerts, averaging 150 shows a year, ranging from sundrenched summer festivals to gala New Year’s celebrations and special events worldwide.

In addition to founding Beach Boy Mike Love (lead vocals) and Beach Boy-vet Bruce Johnston (vocals/keyboards), Jeffrey Foskett (guitar/vocals), Brian Eichenburger (bass/vocals), Tim Bonhomme (keyboards/vocals), John Cowsill of The Cowsills (percussion / vocals) and Scott Totten (guitar/vocals) round out the band.

Tickets for the September Amarillo show can be purchased online at panhandletickets.com, by phone at (806) 378-3096, and in person at the Amarillo Civic Center Complex Box Office and in participating United Supermarkets in Amarillo, Canyon, Borger, Dumas, Dalhart, Hereford and Pampa.

About the Beach Boys

You can capsulize most pop music acts by reciting how many millions of albums they’ve sold how many hits they’ve had, but these conventional measurements fall short when you’re assessing the impact of The Beach Boys, the release says. The band has birthed a torrent of hit singles and radio staples from "Kokomo," "Surfin' USA" and "I Get Around" to "Help Me Rhonda," "California Girls," "Fun, Fun, Fun" and more — and sold albums by the tens of millions. But its greater significance lies in the fact that The Beach Boys changed the musical landscape so profoundly that every pop act since has been in its debt.

To the guys in The Beach Boys, the beach isn’t just a place where the surf comes to play — it’s where life is renewed and made whole again. In 1974 Mike Love’s concept album "Endless Summer" ignited a second generation of Beach Boys fans and stirred a tempest that rocked the music world.

Grammy-winning songwriter Bruce Johnston, [Barry Manilow’s “I Write the Songs”], joined The Beach Boys in 1965, replacing Glenn Campbell, who filled-in for Brian Wilson, on vocals/bass, when he retired from touring. Highly regarded as a singer-songwriter, Johnston’s vocal work with such legendary artists as Elton John and Pink Floyd firmly established him among rock’s elite artists, the release says. The band could have retired from the field with honor at dozens of points along the way and rested on the success of the epoch-shifting "Pet Sounds" masterpiece in 1966 — or after recording Love’s co-written Golden Globe nominated “Kokomo” in 1988 and seeing it become its best selling single ever — or after being inducted that same year into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame — or after watching its worldwide album sales blow past l00 million — or after winning the NARAS Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001. And still, The Beach Boys continue to have fun, fun, fun, with no end in sight.

In 2012, The Beach Boys scheduled a 74-concert, 50th Anniversary Reunion Tour, which was scheduled as a limited run reunion tour and ended in the U.S. July 15 and internationally on Sept 28, in which the original members reunited and released

"That's Why God Made the Radio." The album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard charts, their highest chart position in 37 years and an unprecedented milestone.

The Beach Boys were center-stage at Live Aid, multiple Farm Aids, the Statue of Liberty’s 100th Anniversary Salute, the Super Bowl and the White House. On one day alone — July 4, 1985 — they played to nearly 2 million fans at shows in Philadelphia and Washington, D. C.

The band has appeared on countless worldwide TV shows throughout the years, including The Ed Sullivan Show, Dick Clark’s American Bandstand and The Tonight Show. Other television appearances include performances on Don Imus’ MSNBC show Imus In The Morning, TNT’s NBA All-Star Game, NBC’s Macy’s Day Parade, The Today Show, PBS’ A Capitol Fourth, Good Morning America, Weekend Today, The O’Reilly Factor.

On The Beach Boys’ near horizon is another national/world tour and continued charity activities through Mike Love’s Love Foundation, which supports national environmental and educational initiatives. Love and The Beach Boys’ recent efforts raised more than $.25 million for the Red Cross to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina and made additional contributions to the disaster relief in Haiti.
