THE CENTER in Coral Springs to Present The Beach Boys in February

THE CENTER, formerly known as the Coral Springs Center for the Arts, today announced the addition of a legendary surf-rock band to its 2018 performance schedule on February 11 at 7 pm (Sunday), The Beach Boys. **

You can capsulize most pop music acts by reciting how many hits they've had and how many millions of albums they've sold. But these conventional measurements fall short when you're assessing the impact of The Beach Boys, a band that has birthed a torrent of hit singles and sold albums by the tens of millions.

Led by Mike Love and Bruce Johnston, who along with Jeffrey Foskett, Brian Eichenburger, Tim Bonhomme, John Cowsill and Scott Totten, The Beach Boys continue the legacy of the iconic American band. Grammy-winning songwriter Bruce Johnston, 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 in his field, Johnston's vocal work with such legendary artists as Elton John and Pink Floyd firmly established him among rock's elite artists.

The Beach Boys still play around 150 shows a year, ranging from sundrenched summer festivals to gala New Year's celebrations and special events across the globe. Most recently, the band celebrated the 50th anniversary of the hit "Good Vibrations," which is widely considered one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of rock and roll. The band commemorated this prolific time in the life of The Beach Boys with a 50 Years of Good Vibrations tour. Additionally, front man Mike Love released his highly anticipated memoir titled GOOD VIBRATIONS: My Life as a Beach Boy.

Love's role as the band's front man sometimes overshadows his stature as one of rock's foremost songwriters. "Surfin'," The Beach Boys' first hit came from his pen. With his cousin, BrIan Wilson, Love wrote the classics "Fun, Fun, Fun," "I Get Around," "Help Me Rhonda," "California Girls" and the Grammy nominated "Good Vibrations." Years later, he showed he still had the lyrical chops by co-writing the irresistible and chart-topping "Kokomo."

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 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, etc.

Tickets start at $63
