Calling from his home in snowy Lake Tahoe, Mike Love was clear: He is excited to bring the Beach Boys back to the Florida sunshine.

. . .

The Beach Boys' last hit, "Kokomo," came out in 1988. In more recent years, Love's most prominent public appearances have been in support of former President Donald Trump. Following a tumultuous history with band member Brian Wilson, Love is the only original living member who still tours with the Beach Boys. He'll be joined by Bruce Johnston, musical director Scott Totten, Brian Eichenberger, Christian Love, Tim Bonhomme, John Cowsill, Keith Hubacher and Randy Leago.

. . .

[We have] John Cowsill, who was in a group called the Cowsills with a number of big hits back in the late '60s, early '70s. And he's a great drummer. He did like 400 shows a year in theaters before he joined our group a couple of decades ago.
