RICKY NELSON REMEMBERED
http://www.nelsontourinfo.com
In any event, Gunnar and Matthew are currently on tour with the RICKY NELSON REMEMBERED show - a multimedia tribute show featuring live renditions of Ricks hits, as well as never before seen footage of the Nelson family with interviews from celebrities influenced by Ricky Nelson. The show appeals to a wide audience and multiple generations and 2010 will mark the 25th anniversary of Rick Nelson's passing with that tragic New Year's Eve plane crash.
Rick Nelson was born Eric Hilliard Nelson in 1940. He died in a small plane crash in Texas in 1985 while flying to a New Year's Eve concert. Mechanical problems and a cabin fire were suspected as the cause of the crash. Speculation that the fire was caused by someone on board freebasing cocaine was never proven, though aerosol cans were found at the crash site. The Nelson family said that the cans were part of the makeup box and that no drugs were involved. The matter was never completely resolved.

Their songs transcend time. Matthew and Gunnar Nelson, revered for unforgettable past hits, explore fresh creative territory in the present. Magically melodic songwriting and soaring sibling harmonies ensure that this pair will be a vital part of the music scenes future.
Their famed blond locks have been shortened, but their appeal is proving greater than ever. The twin sons of rock n roll icon Rick Nelson had spent the past six years honing their sound in Nashville, woodshedding with some of Music City USAs best lyricists, and adding what theyve learned to their own mastery of contemporary pop melody.
The resultant material is mature, yet youthfully exuberant. It meshes the power pop that launched them to multi-platinum status, the country rock their father pioneered, and a boldly modern touch that has always been at the forefront of popular musics appeal. Its majestic arena groove-rock for the 21st century.
Due to unending requests, theyve worked some Rick Nelson classics into their set. They perform them with respect and enthusiasm. We figured its up to us to help keep his music alive, Gunnar says. Not only is it a true pleasure to play these great songs that people love, but it makes us feel profoundly closer to our best friend -- our father.
