RICKY NELSON REMEMBERED Comes to Westchester Broadway Theatre, 6/3

By:

He is the only artist to have a No. 1 song, No. 1 movie and No. 1 TV show in the same week. Life Magazine coined the phrase 'Teen Idol' after him and he is credited with pioneering the country rock sound. Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Ricky Nelson's life and music touched millions; his twin sons, multi-platinum recording artists, Matthew & Gunnar Nelson, relive the music and memories in their multi-media event, Ricky Nelson Remembered.

Ricky Nelson Remembered Featuring Matthew & Gunnar Nelson returns to the Westchester Broadway Theatre in Elmsford, N.Y., Monday, June 3, 6:15 p.m. Tickets are on sale and cost $80. Applicable fees may apply. Purchase online at BroadwayTheatre.com or via phone at 914-592-2222. The Westchester Broadway Theatre is located at One Broadway Plaza.

Featuring hit songs like "Hello Mary Lou," "Poor Little Fool," "Travelin' Man," "I'm Walkin'," "I Gotta Feeling," "Teenage Idol," "GArden Party" and many more, The show showcases his life with never-before-seen interviews from artists he influenced, including Paul McCartney and Chris Isaak. Matthew and Gunnar's musical event is heartfelt and full of laughter.

Ricky Nelson died in a plane crash on his way to perform a New Year's Eve concert in 1986. His legacy includes 53 hit singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and nineteen other top-ten hits. He is one of the biggest-selling artists of all time, a Golden Globe winner for his performance alongside John Wayne in Rio Bravo and in the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.

From Ozzie and Harriet to Ricky to Matthew and Gunnar, the Nelson's are listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the only family in history with three successive generations of No. 1 hit makers. Matthew and Gunnar are also nephews ofNCIS star, Mark Harmon, on their mother's side.

"Just Once More," is an original tune, lyrically inspired by how they would relinquish all their fame and fortune for just five more minutes on earth with their father, "our best friend," Matthew said. "The only irony here, I always say, is our pop was probably the last person in the world to wave his own flag, so it's a good thing he had twin sons to do it for him. I do think he would have been really proud of the fact that we've kind of done our own thing and that's why the show needs to be different. This is something we love to do, not have to do."
