An early acolyte of \u003cstrong\u003eThe Beach Boys\u003c\/strong\u003e and the music of \u003cstrong\u003eBrian Wilson\u003c\/strong\u003e, Foskett was serendipitously discovered by Beach Boys lead singer, Mike Love, in a bar in Santa Barbara in the early 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFoskett would later describe this chance meeting as opportunity knocking and he seized it with every ounce of talent he possessed. Soon after meeting Love, Foskett joined The Beach Boys on the road. His soaring falsetto and incredible musical talent earned him the title of Vice-Principal as he assisted Hawthorne's favorite sons with their late '80s resurgence (Live Aid, \"\u003cem\u003eKokomo\u003c\/em\u003e\"). This experience led him to many further opportunities and ultimately led him to lead Brian Wilson's touring band in the 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlong the way, Foskett himself was creating original music and unique collaborations which led to several solo projects, all critically acclaimed. In the late '90s, as musical director and confidante, Jerey stood by Brian Wilson's side to attend to some unfinished business... the completion of Wilson's legendary opus, Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE and its accompanying tour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2012 Foskett was also instrumental in reuniting The Beach Boys for their widely successful 50th Anniversary tour and reunion album \u003cem\u003eThat's Why God Made The Radio\u003c\/em\u003e. Sadly, after a lengthy battle with throat cancer, Jerey Foskett passed away in December of 2023. Omnivore Recordings, in association with The Jerey Foskett Estate, is very proud to announce the release of \u003cem\u003eSomething There – Remembering Jefrey Foskett\u003c\/em\u003e. A loving tribute to the voice of an angel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis 25 song collection contains several key Foskett recordings (\"\u003cem\u003eI Live For The Sun\u003c\/em\u003e,\" \"\u003cem\u003eEverybody\u003c\/em\u003e,\" \"\u003cem\u003eSomething There\u003c\/em\u003e\"), rare alliances with Robert Lamm of Chicago and Christopher Cross, and previously unissued collaborations with Brian Wilson, Mike Love, America, and Los Straitjackets. More than half of the recordings included are previously unissued.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo please sit back, take a load off your feet and find out why Goldmine once described Foskett as \"Quite simply, the best-kept secret in Pop Music!\"... there is definitely something there!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omnivore","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":51930937131339,"sku":"R1213-6896","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/2000x2000bb_b1e5ae8a-c7cc-4ec3-b649-fa8df3d8656d.jpg?v=1748590256"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/jeffrey-foskett.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
