The Everly Brothers



Don and Phil Everly are the sons of Ike and Margaret Everly, who, like their parents before them, were folk and country singers from central Kentucky. The Everly Brothers had already experienced a full career before their first record 'Bye Bye, Love' was released. As sons of two popular country artists, they were pushed into show business from an early age. They regularly appeared on their parents' radio shows throughout the 40s and accompanied them on tours. In the mid-50s they moved to Nashville.

In June of 1957 they made their first appearance as regulars on the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. That night, Don and Phil were the first act to use drums on the Grand Ole Opry and to this day are given credit for introducing and developing the use of drums in Nashville. The traditional country audience loved them, but right from the beginning, the uniqueness of their sound made them popular on an international scale with a wide spectrum of fans. Over the years their blend of country, rock & roll, bluegrass and rockabilly has remained popular with pop, rock, country and R&B listeners simultaneously.
