Jeffrey Foskett Biography

Jeffrey Foskett is one of the most popular and richest Composer who was born on February 17, 1956 in Santa Clara County, Santa Clara County, United States. Born and raised in San Jose, California, Foskett began his first band in the 1970s known as Cherry, after the Willow Glen area street on which he lived. Foskett played mostly surf music covers in the same market as Papa Doo Run Run, with whom Foskett would join forces later. In the late 1970s, Foskett formed two renowned bands: The Reverie Rhythm Rockers (aka Reverie) and The Pranks while attending UCSB in Santa Barbara, California, gigging throughout the area with fellow area bands like D. B. Cooper. The band held a house residency at The Troubadore Nightclub in Hollywood Mondays performing with The Mentors, The Cretones, The Police and 20/20.

Foskett was a reliable member of the Beach Boys until the early 1990s in which Carl noticed that he had gained a large amount of weight and it may have been taking a toll on his live performance standard. After a show on July 4th, 1990, Carl pulled Foskett aside and broke the news to him that he would not be performing with the band until he got his health back on track. Wilson said to Fosket that “there are six strings on a guitar and I suggest you use all of them.” Foskett later said that this was a blessing and being fired from the Beach Boys really opened his eyes and inspired him to become healthy again.

In 2012, Foskett joined the Beach Boys’ live band on their 50th Anniversary Reunion Tour, and subsequently recorded the studio album That’s Why God Made the Radio alongside the band, performing all of the falsetto vocal parts as well as other vocals on the record. Regarding his role in the reunion, Al Jardine stated, “Jeffrey is invaluable to keeping the continuity between the various component parts. He supports Brian in every possible way. He has Brian’s confidence, and basically kind of makes it possible to have Brian Wilson on the road with us. [Without] that shoulder to lean on, I think it would be very difficult for Brian to tour. And I’m very grateful for that.” On the tour he provided lead vocals on “Don’t Worry Baby”, “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” (Alongside Jardine) and “Why Do Fools Fall In Love” as well as singing all of the falsetto vocals.

Following the reunion tour, Foskett resumed touring with Wilson in 2013. Wilson enlisted guitarist Jeff Beck to accompany him and Foskett on his tour and collaborate with him on his next album. Foskett left the touring band in late 2013, citing sudden heavy workload on touring and recording the album. Foskett said “After the Jeff Beck tour, I was completely stressed and burned out. That whole year, recording that album and that tour — because I knew Jeff so well — a lot of things fell on me to get done that normally would have been other people’s responsibilities. So, at the end of that tour, I kind of snapped — literally — and just said, ‘I can’t do this anymore’. However Brian views me, is alright with me, as long as he knows I love him.” Foskett was replaced by Matt Jardine, who joined Wilson along with his father and founding member Al Jardine on his tours.

When Brian Wilson returned to touring in the late 1990s, he asked Foskett to help him assemble his touring band. Foskett was the musical director, appearing at every solo show Wilson had performed, up until his departure from Wilson’s band. In concerts, Foskett provided lead vocals on several of Wilson’s songs, including “Don’t Worry Baby”, “The Warmth Of The Sun” and “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” as well as others. Foskett has appeared as guitarist/vocalist/arranger on a majority of Wilson solo material, including the 2004 version of SMiLE.

Foskett became a fan of the Beach Boys after he heard “I Get Around” and became determined to meet Brian Wilson. In 1976, Foskett tracked down Wilson’s house in Bel Air, which had a stained-glass window resembling the artwork of the 1967 album Wild Honey. After knocking on Wilson’s door, he was greeted by a friendly Wilson and quickly invited into his house as a guest. The two then kept in contact over the years.

Jeffrey Foskett is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer best known as a touring and studio musician for Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys since the 1980s. Foskett was described as the Beach Boys’ “vice principal” by its touring members. In 1996, he debuted as a solo artist with the album Thru My Window.

In late 1979, Wilson’s cousin Mike Love stopped by the famous Santa Barbara restaurant “1129” where Reverie was the house band. Love listened to Foskett and hired Reverie as the original incarnation of The Endless Summer Beach Band. The band toured with Love through 1981 when Foskett replaced Wilson’s brother Carl Wilson who briefly left the Beach Boys to pursue a solo career. When Carl rejoined the Beach Boys in May 1982, Foskett was asked to stay to perform Wilson’s falsetto parts, which he did on and off until he was fired by Wilson after a performance on July 4th, 1990.
