| Beachboys to appear at RFD-TV the Theatre. |
The Theatre announces nine scheduled appearances with the Beach Boys during the month of July. Fans will have multiple chances to see the Boys in concert between July 2-5 and July 25-29. For two hours each night, Beach Boy original Mike Love and his Boys are turning the RFD-TV aisles into Branson Beach–literally.
An American classic rock and roll band, the Beach Boys have recorded 26 U.S. Top 40 hits, selling more singles and albums than any other American rock band in history. Since their beginning in 1960, the band has sold out shows around the world and in 1988 band members were inducted into the National Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame. Popular songs include California Dreamin’, Wouldn’t It Be Nice and Good Vibrations among others.
The RFD-TV concert dates in July are fitting. The Beach Boys are “America’s Band” and are widely associated with the 4th of July for good reason. It was Love’s idea to put on a free 4th of July concert on the grounds of Washington Monument, beginning in 1980 to celebrate America. But in 1983, Secretary of the Interior James Watt declared that the Beach Boys brought an “undesirable element” among their fans to the public property and he banned the Boys from holding their free concert. After an ensuing national uproar, Watt resigned and First Lady Nancy Reagan personally invited the band to come back to perform on July 4, 1984, leaving a mark in American history. Now it is time to make RFD-TV history.
Tickets to this popular concert series go on sale Memorial Day for $44 plus tax. All shows start at 7:00 p.m. Once the concert is over, all RFD-TV and Beach Boys’ guests are invited to celebrate America by watching the spectacular Celebration City Laser Light and Fireworks Show atop the theatre’s hillside. RFD-TV The Theatre strongly extends a warm invitation to all families looking for a memorable night and vacation.
