Have mercy: Uncle Jesse is coming to Syracuse.
“Full House” star John Stamos has been added to The Beach Boys’ Christmas concert scheduled at The Oncenter Crouse Hinds Theater on Wednesday, Dec. 7, at 7:30 p.m., according to ASM Global. The “Tis the Season” show will feature The Holiday Vibrations Orchestra and songs from the iconic band’s 1964 Christmas album as well as lead singer Mike Love’s holiday album, “Reason for the Season.”
Tickets are on sale via Ticketmaster or in person at the Solvay Bank Box Office at The Oncenter (760 S. State Street, Syracuse, NY 13202). Prices range from $40-$190; additional fees may apply.
The Beach Boys will perform new holiday songs and Christmas classics from ranging from bright guitar and horn-filled pop and rock and track to softer traditional carols and ballads. “Reason for the Season,” released by 2018 by Love, was produced by Sam Hollander (One Direction, Panic! at the Disco, Train) and Steve Greenberg (Hanson, AJR), and features Hanson on “Finally It’s Christmas” as well as tracks with Love’s children Ambha, Brian, Christian and Hayleigh Love.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band, co-founded by Love, is best known for ‘60s hits like “Good Vibrations,” “California Girls,” “Kokomo,” “I Get Around,” “Surfin’ Safari” and “God Only Knows.” The group performed at the New York State Fair last year, but did not include Stamos in the lineup.
Stamos is best known for playing Jesse Katsopolis on the ABC sitcom “Full House” and the Netflix sequel series, “Fuller House.” His acting credits also include “General Hospital,” “ER,” “Grandfathered” and Broadway productions of “Bye Bye Birdie” and “The Best Man.”
Stamos has performed with The Beach Boys numerous times over the years, appearing in their 1988 video for “Kokomo” and covering the band’s “Forever” as “Jesse and the Rippers” for “Full House.” The band also guest-starred on the TV show; Stamos played drums, congas and guitar with the Beach Boys on “Dancing with the Stars” in 2010; and he joined the group’s 50th reunion tour in 2012.
The Beach Boys’ “‘Tis the Season” tour dates also include a Dec. 9 concert at Shea’s Performing Arts Center in Buffalo. It’s unclear if Stamos will also perform in Buffalo, but he’s scheduled to join the band Dec. 5 at Carnegie Hall in New York and Dec. 6 at The Paramount in Huntington.
