Beach Boys' Brian Wilson Comes to Napa



August 22, 2011 -> napa.patch.com

These days, Wilson doesn’t seem to bother with all that. He’s playing music on stage with a band he calls “the best band I’ve every heard,” touring in a $1.4 million dollar tour bus he’s almost giddily enthused about, he’s recording new music (five new songs in the can from Chicago sessions just last week) and reshaping old classics (an already completed album of songs from Disney films, “Songs in the Key of Disney,” is set for release in October).

Early next year, the long-thought-lost original “Smile” sessions will finally be released, featuring the full Beach Boys line-up as they were in 1967.

He’s even writing songs again.
