ABOUT THE SHOW A decade after the fabulous EVERLY BROTHERS received their lifetime achievement award from The Recording Academy, their music continues to be as popular now as it was back then thanks to the amazing talents of the internationally acclaimed tribute show - FOREVER EVERLY. This show is described by critics as "the closest thing you'll get to the Brothers", with a slick performance that has audiences re-living an evening of nostalgia, with the wonderful music and soaring harmonies that made The Everly Brothers so famous. Hailed as the best Everly brothers tribute show in the world, they are regularly booked for appearances in countries that have already have Tribute shows based there. The show recreates the atmosphere, looks and soaring harmonies of The Everly Brothers, and features just some of the 750 songs that THE EVERLY BROTHERS recorded, - including many of their hits such as – Walk Right Back, Cathy’s Clown, Dream, Claudette, Cryin’ in the rain, Bye Bye Love, Love Hurts and Wake Up Little Susie. You will also hear some of their country recordings, rock and roll songs, and of course their beautiful ballads. With the sad passing of Phil Everly in 2014 – this is the only chance the baby boomers and others that grew up with the music of The Everly Brothers – will get to relive that era… “FOREVER EVERLY” features David Lee-Jay and Mark Rigney who are both entertainers with a vast wealth of experience. They have toured internationally in the last 5 years to the USA, Canada, UK, Malaysia and New Zealand, and already have return dates lined up for Canada, USA and South Africa in 2021. They are regular headline guests on some of the world’s most prestigious cruise liners. This show will appeal to everyone, from the Baby boomers and those before, who grew up with the music - through to the youngsters of today who know the songs through the cover versions recorded by today’s artists. This show is now in its 15th year of touring… Forever Everly. Page 4 ARTFORM Cabaret Live Contemporary Music Variety / Tribute ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Show features : DAVID LEE-JAY and MARK RIGNEY.
