The Everly Brothers Experience at Ridgefield Celebrate Cinco de Mayo

No one could sing harmonies like The Everly Brothers. With hits "Bye, Bye, Love," "Wake Up Little Susie," and "When Will I Be Loved" among others, The Everly Brothers' music influenced everyone from The Beatles to Simon & Garfunkel to Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards. Now, the singing duo of Dylan and Zachary Zmed (sons of Grease 2 and T.J. Hooker star Adrian Zmed ) are paying tribute to Phil and Don Everly along with their band The Bird Dogs.

The Everly Brothers made pop music that was truly timeless - a blend of country-influenced rock that featured the kind of tight harmonies that only brothers can produce. The Everly Brothers made their last recording as a duo in 1998. On January 3, 2014, Phil Everly died of lung cancer - 16 days before his 75th birthday.
