“Long live the music and long live the history!” That is the spirited motto that inspired The Zmed Brothers and The Bird Dogs Band to produce The Everly Brothers Experience back in 2015. Don & Phil Everly’s illustrious career lasted over half a century (1951-2005), they recorded 21 studio albums, sold more than 60 million records worldwide, had over 30 billboard top -100 singles, which still to this day is the record for most billboard charting hits of any sibling Country/Rock Duo ever. From 1957-1962 they dominated record sales and radio waves with hits like, “Bye Bye Love,” “Wake Up Little Susie,” “All I Have To Do Is Dream,” and “Love Hurts,” “Cathy’s Clown,” “When Will I Be Loved?” + many more. In their later career, The Everly Brothers received numerous prestigious accolades and countless legendary artists of the '60s and '70s cite them as one of their main influences. A list that includes: The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, The Bee Gees, Crosby Stills and Nash.. and pretty much anyone else who sang harmony after them… including Zach & Dylan (The Zmed Brothers).
In 2012, The Zmed Brothers began performing seriously as a duo singing originals and close harmony standards from the '50s and '60s. They gained a strong local following, cutting their teeth in a multitude of professional settings in the greater Los Angeles area where they were born and raised. During this time they developed transformative mentorships with music industry titans like engineer/producer team Richie Podolor & Bill Cooper, hit songwriter Billy Steinberg, and talent agent Rich Rees - who all fundamentally helped Zach & Dylan recognize the legacy in their sound and actualize their potential. In 2015, after partnering up with drummer Burleigh Drummond Jr. and assembling a handful of ‘A-Team’ musician friends of theirs, The Zmed Brothers created The Everly Brothers Experience. Through immersive research and years of extensive international touring, this hit show has arguably become the World’s foremost tribute to the music and history of the greatest sibling Country/Rock Duo of all time.
These days The Zmed Brothers live in Nashville Tennessee’s big backyard where they have wives and kids of their own. Over the many years that The Zmed Brothers have been earning their stripes on stage, their devout mission to carry on the deeply rooted tradition of “Close Harmony” in American Music has grown tenfold. With their beloved brand of seasoned blood harmony, tight musicianship, and hilarious “Smothers Brothers” esq. banter, The Zmed Brothers and The Bird Dogs Band always deliver on their spirited motto in this one of a kind authentic Everly Brothers experience. “Long live the music and long live the history!"
