Concert members of the Crookston Civic Music League can look forward to the season opener of the 2021-2022 Entertainment Series. The EVERLY SET will be coming to Crookston Thursday, October 21, 2021, to entertain and remind concertgoers of the great history of the famed brothers. Showtime is at 7:00 p.m. inside the Crookston High School Auditorium.
In 1957, teenagers Phil and Don Everly released mega-hits Bye-Bye Love and Wake Up Little Susie, supercharging the vocal sound of Rock n Roll and unleashing the speaking, brotherly harmony that would influence The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, The Beach Boys, The Hollies, Peter, Paul & Mary, Bob Dylan, The Bee Gees, and The Eagles.
Their impact on popular music throughout the 60s and 70s is immeasurable. Now, six decades later, two highly acclaimed singer-songwriters have combined forces to become THE EVERLY SET.
They present an honest approximation of the originals. Sean Altman (Rockapella founder and Carmen Sandiego theme song composer) and rocker Jack Skuller (winner of the Songwriters Hall of Fame Holly prize and former Disney radio and record artist) bring the Everly’s sparkling hits to life with bravado and visual style. An affectionate humor and deep appreciation of this music and the brothers Everly are clearly abundant and the basis of The Everly Set. Bye, Bye Love, Wake Up Little Susie, Cathy’s Clown, All I Have to do is Dream, When Will I Be Loved, Crying in the Rain, Bird Dog, Claudette, and many more classic hits are on schedule for this supercharged performance.
