Presented by: ArtsQuest
Doors: 7:00 pm | Show: 7:30 pm
THE ZMED BROTHERS have celebrated the pivotal sounds and history of The Everly Brothers legacy with enthusiastic crowds all across the US and over seas in prestigious venues. The Zmeds say, “The music of the 50’s and 60’s are nostalgic to us, our parents raised us on it, and we feel that the Everly’s contribution to music is greatly overlooked, especially by younger generations. Our aim is not to impersonate but to do our best in honoring the aesthetics of their iconic music and in honoring the important role they played pioneering the rock n’ roll sound, all while having a little fun telling our own personal story,” and they do just that. 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 continuously strive to pay homage to their personal roots by always infusing an instinctual blend of entertainment (a la Smothers Brothers) and contextual education in their performance.
The Everly brothers career lasted over half a century, they recorded 21 studio albums, sold more than 60 million records world wide, had 35 billboard top-100 singles, which still to this day is the record for most billboard charting hits of any Rock Duo, they received numerous accolades in their career, and influenced countless legendary artist that came after them including The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, The Bee Gees, Neil Young..and the list goes on. THE ZMED BROTHERS are absolutely thrilled to be able to contribute to a cause that supports the recognition and preservation of the intimate and singular origins of America’s greatest Rock n’ Roll singing sibling duo.
