Long Live the Music
The Everly Brothers Experience with the Zmed Brothers
On February 15 at 7:30pm the Tower Theatre Foundation and the Zmed Brothers invite you to pay homage to the iconic harmonies and impact of rock and roll pioneers, the Everly Brothers. From 1957 to 1962 The Everly brothers had 35 Billboard Top 100 singles, and carry the record for most Billboard charting hits of any American Duo. The Everly Brothers influenced The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, The Beach Boys, The Kinks and Neil Young. “The music of the 50’s and 60’s are nostalgic for us, our parents raised us all on it, and we feel that the Everly’s contribution is greatly overlooked, especially by younger generations,” say the Zmeds. “Our aim is not to impersonate, but to do our best in honoring the aesthetics of their iconic sound and in honoring the important role they played in pioneering the rock n’ roll movement, all while having a little fun sharing our own personal story.”
Growing up with a father (Adrian Zmed) as a traveling singer/dancer/actor (Grease 2, Bachelor Party, T.J. Hooker), and a mother (Barbara) as a second grade teacher in a suburb of Los Angeles, the Zmed Brothers continually strive to pay homage to their roots by always infusing an instinctual blend of entertainment and contextual education in their performance. With humor reminiscent of the Smothers Brothers, and backed by a five-piece band, Zack and Dylan Zmed light up hits Wake Up Little Susie, Bye Bye Love, Let It Be Me and Cathy’s Clown, to name a few.
