Bowling Green, KY — (May 22, 2015) — As The Beach Boys mark more than a half century of making music, the group continues to ride the crest of a wave unequaled in America’s musical history. The Beach Boys have become synonymous with the California lifestyle and have become an American icon to fans around the world. The Beach Boys will pull into town to perform for Sounds of Independence at SKyPAC on July 23, 2015 in Bowling Green.
Since lead-singer Mike Love penned the lyrics to The Beach Boys’ first hit, “Surfin’”
(1961), dozens of the band’s chart-toppers have become eternal anthems of America: “Surfin’ USA,” “Surfer Girl,” “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “I Get Around,” “California Girls,” “Help Me Rhonda,” “Barbara Ann,” “Good Vibrations,” “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” “Rock and Roll Music” and “Kokomo.”
The Beach Boys have sold over 100 million records worldwide and have received more than 33 RIAA Platinum and Gold record awards. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers were honored at the 2001 Grammy Awards with the Lifetime Achievement Award. With more than five decades of touring under their belts, The Beach Boys have performed more concerts than any major rock band in history.
Sounds Of Summer: The Very Best Of The Beach Boys, Capitol/EMI’s 30-track collection of the band’s biggest hits, has achieved triple-platinum success with sales of more than three million copies in the U.S. since its release.
“Independence Bank is proud to partner with SKyPAC for its third year of the Sounds of Independence concert,” said Brad Howard, President of Independence Bank. “It’s exciting to see artists such as The Beach Boys come to town knowing the excitement this will mean for the surrounding areas, our community and downtown Bowling Green.”
The Beach Boys are led by Mike Love and Bruce Johnston, who along with Jeffrey Foskett, Brian Eichenburger, Tim Bonhomme, John Cowsill and Scott Totten continue the legacy of the iconic American band. This concert will not feature Brian Wilson, Al Jardine or David Marks.
