Wilson Phillips to Play Thousand Oaks' Civic Arts Plaza, 5/22

One of the most successful female groups of all time, Wilson Phillips, comes to the Fred Kavli Theatre on Thursday, May 22, 2014 at 7:30 pm.

Carnie and Wendy Wilson, daughters of The Beach Boys' founder Brian Wilson, and Chynna Phillips, daughter of The Mamas and The Papas' John and Michelle Phillips, launched their own musical careers in 1990 as Wilson Phillips. Their self-titled debut album was an instant smash with the hit singles "Hold On," "Impulsive," and "Release Me," driving worldwide sales past the ten million copies mark. Known for their beautiful harmonies and outstanding live performances, the group followed up in 1992 with the platinum Shadows and Light, which yielded three more pop hits.

As 1992 came to a close, Wilson Phillips had more than lived up to their musical pedigree with five Grammy Award nominations, two American Music Award nominations and a Billboard Music Award win. Following the release of Shadows and Light, the trio pursued a series of solo recordings and television projects, with each continuing to enjoy tremendous success.

In 2004 the group released California, an album of California-inspired cover songs, and in 2010 the trio reunited with their original Wilson Phillips producer for their first-ever holiday album, Christmas in Harmony. The album contained the single "I Wish it Could Be Christmas Every Day," and brought the group back together in full swing 20 years after their breakthrough album. Wilson Phillips' new studio album, Dedicated, was released in 2012 and is a music lover's dream - a full disk containing covers of legendary songs by The Beach Boys and The Mamas and the Papas.
