Oh wow, what happened? He was still listed in recent shows, like in May, at least.
I like Rhythm of The World, though the guys sing all the leads. Glad to have Susan in strong duet w xpost Freedy Johnston (see upthread for their album w Jon Dee Graham)---from his 2022 janglefest, Back On The Road To You, this is "The Power of Love," brothers and sisters:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN0O8AhAY5c

i wonder if mike love tried to involve him in trump rallies/benefits. though you'd think that ship had sailed.

John and another guy, ScotT Totten, who apparently was the musical director, were both let go.

Susan's husband Russ is currently the drummer for The Cowsills and I think on package tours maybe there is some house band anyway.

Let go from the Cowsills? That’s not right!
Btw I just saw him ponying around on stage with Vicki Bangle at the ‘Nuggets’ 50th Anniversary show

Awesome! I read that John was no longer with the Beach Boys, hopefully not also the Cowsills.
― dow, Sunday, 20 August 2023 03:09 (eight months ago) link
He hasn’t been associated with The Cowsills in years
― Zing Harvest (Has Surely Come) (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 20 August 2023 03:17 (eight months ago) link
But he has been associated with his wife Vicki Peterson for quite a long time.

So let go by the Beach Boys only then, just as I surmised. Yes! What relief.

He does sometimes seem to appear with his siblings, but it’s not very often at all and not expected.

John anc Vicki apparently are living in NYC right now, but so far I have yet to cross paths with them.

i love susan cowsill, I can't even imagine how weird it would be to sing in a band at 8 years old but she never stopped so, still sounds great too
she popped up singing backups while I was trying to find the definitive live "Welcome Back" (Kotter) which seems to be this, on youtube anyways

and then youtube was already open so had to listen to "Cocaine Drain" and then it was a cowsills evening

Susan became a really good singer but some of the early years kid sister stuff can be painful to watch, although I kind of feel bad even mentioning that.
