It's no secret that big names haven't been jumping at the chance to play Donald Trump's January 20 inauguration, but that could change with reports that the Beach Boys are considering signing up for White House gig.
 
"The Beach Boys have been asked to perform as part of the inauguration festivities," a spokesperson for the band told Billboard. "But no decision has been made at this point as to how or whether they will participate. We will let you know as soon as a decision is final."
 
In the past, the group have performed at events for Republicans Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, as well as Democrat Bill Clinton.
 
The band's non-committal response to the invitation sounds slightly more promising for Trump, considering names like Elton John, Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Andrea Bocelli, KISS, Celine Dion, David Foster and Garth Brooks have all reportedly flat-out turned down offers to perform.
 
So far the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the Rockettes and America's Got Talent non-winner Jackie Evancho are the only acts to confirm appearances at the January event.
