Chicago – The Band, Brian Wilson, Al Jardine & Blondie Chaplin at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion

Brian Wilson will be joined on the tour by co-founder singer and guitarist Al Jardine and South African singer and guitarist Blondie Chaplin, who was briefly a member of the legendary surf pop band from 1972-1973. The 2022 tour will continue a busy time for Wilson, as the famed rocker brought out the documentary, Long Promised Road, chronicling the highs and lows of his career, as well as his personal mental health issues. This year also saw Wilson release a new studio album, At My Piano, in November 2021, timed to coincide with the documentary’s release.
