“Long live the music and long live the history!”

This spirited motto inspired brothers Zach and Dylan Zmed, together with The Bird Dogs Band, to create The Everly Brothers Experience in 2015. Don and Phil Everly’s extraordinary career spanned more than five decades (1951–2005), yielding 21 studio albums, over 60 million records sold worldwide, and more than 30 Billboard Top-100 singles—still the record for the most charting hits by any sibling country/ rock duo. From 1957 to 1962, the Everlys shaped the soundscape of American popular music with classics including Bye Bye Love, Wake Up Little Susie, All I Have to Do Is Dream, Love Hurts, Cathy’s Clown, and When Will I Be Loved. Their groundbreaking harmony style influenced generations of artists, among them The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, the Bee Gees, and Crosby, Stills & Nash - an artistic lineage that continues today through Zach and Dylan Zmed.

There are bands for which rock and roll is a lifestyle, and then there are bands for which it is life.

To many, The Weber Brothers are the baddest band in the land. To many others, their story sits like an ancient volume in an old bookstore, dust covered, tucked away behind hundreds of newer, shinier books. Untouched. Waiting to be discovered. Regardless of what side you’re on, there’s an undeniable truth. In the rough and tumble world of rock and roll, The Weber Brothers have been around the block. Ryan and Sam Weber left their Baltimore, MD home one night as teenagers, with the aim of meeting their idol, rockabilly legend Ronnie Hawkins, and ten hours later showed up at his doorstep. “The Hawk”, the elder statesman of rock whose former protégés (Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Levon Helm, Richard Manuel, Garth Hudson) went on to reshape music history as “The Band”, was duly impressed by the pair’s immense raw talent, and promptly invited them to audition for his storied backing band, The Hawks. Mere months later, after surviving the intense musical apprenticeship of his fabled “Rock ‘n’ Roll Boot-camp,” they were in: full-blooded Hawks. By the ages of 18 and 21 they had already performed alongside Kris Kristofferson, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, Jeff Healey and the Tragically Hip to name a few.
