Aug. 23, 2022 – Actor and musician John Stamos is coming back to Oklahoma City to join The Beach Boys, featuring Mike Love and Bruce Johnston, for a Sept. 24 concert at Civic Center Music Hall benefitting the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma’s Food for Kids Programs.

“We are so excited John was able to break away from his busy filming schedule to visit Oklahoma City for this special benefit event”, said John Occhipinti, show producer and Edmond resident. “John is such an accomplished, brilliant musician and has played off and on with the Beach Boys for decades.”

All net proceeds from the concert will be donated to the Regional Food Bank’s Food for Kids Programs. In the last school year, the Food for Kids Programs provided more than 2.3 million meals for chronically hungry children.

“The Regional Food Bank is ecstatic to welcome back The Beach Boys and John Stamos for this one-of-a-kind benefit show,” said Stacy Dykstra, chief executive officer of the Regional Food Bank. “We encourage all Oklahomans to join us for this night of fun and know that every ticket sold will help put meals on the table for Oklahoma children living with hunger.”

Also guest starring at the concert will be surf rock icon Dean Torrence of “Jan and Dean.”

“Both Mike Love and I are very excited to be back in OKC and looking forward to playing for this awesome cause,” said Bruce Johnston, Grammy Award winning artist and longtime Beach Boy. “Oklahomans are second to none when it comes to helping others. We expect the turn out to be huge.”

The Beach Boys are led by Mike Love, who, along with longtime member Bruce Johnston, musical director Scott Totten, Brian Eichenberger, Christian Love, Tim Bonhomme, John Cowsill, Keith Hubacher and Randy Leago, continue the legacy of the iconic group.

Through Sept. 30, all donations to the Regional Food Bank’s Food for Kids Programs are matched thanks to generous donations from Masonic Charity Foundation of Oklahoma, Mark and Beth Brewer, David Gorham, Energy Transfer, David and Lezlie Hudiburg, Dolese Bros and Marathon Oil.
