The Everly Brothers Experience
Saturday, October 19, 2024, at 7:30 p.m.
Since 2016, THE ZMED BROTHERS (Zach and Dylan) and Burleigh Drummond Jr. (their business partner/ drummer) have celebrated The Everly Brothers’ legacy’s pivotal music and history with enthusiastic crowds all across the US and overseas in numerous prestigious venues.
The Zmed Brothers say, “The music of the 50s and 60s is nostalgic for us; our parents raised us all on it, and we feel that Don and Phil’s contribution is greatly overlooked, especially by our generation. We are not impersonators. Our aim since we started the project is to do our best at honoring their brotherly legacy through our own spirits by representing the aesthetics of their iconic sound and by exploring the important role they played in pioneering the rock n’ roll movement, all while having a little fun sharing our own story.”
Sing along with Everly Brothers classics like “Bye Bye Love,” “Wake Up Little Susie,” “All I Have to do is Dream,” and “Kathy’s Clown.”
