BIOGRAPHY: 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, and now his twin sons, multi-platinum
recording artists Matthew & Gunnar Nelson, relive the music and memories
in their multi-media event, Ricky Nelson Remembered. This multimedia
event features hit songs like “Travelin’ Man” and “Hello Mary Lou” as well
as never-before-seen interviews from the artists Ricky Nelson influenced,
including Paul McCartney, John Fogerty, 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 Nelsons are listed in the Guinness Book of World
Records as the only family in history with three successive generations
of No. 1 hit makers.
