“RICKY NELSON REMEMBERED” is a unique multi-media rock ‘n roll concert experience featuring the live music of Ricky Nelson's hit songs (including “Hello Mary Lou", "Travelin' Man”, “Garden Party") performed by Ricky's twin sons Matthew & Gunnar, and includes never before seen big screen video footage of the NELSON family with interviews from celebrities (Paul McCartney, Kris Kristoferson, etc.) influenced by Ricky Nelson. Matthew and Gunnar Nelson are also the grandsons of ‘50s TV icons Ozzie & Harriet Nelson.
"The Nelson's Tribute to their father was a wonderful experience for our patrons. People left the theatre saying it was simply awesome." – Don Wray, Executive Director, Kirtland Community College, Roscommon, MI
“The Nelson twins gave a terrific performance of “Ricky Nelson Remembered” at the Merryman Performing Arts Center! The show was of excellent quality and well received with standing ovations by an enthusiastic house. The Nelson brothers are not only talented, but gracious.” – Gail Lowenberg, Executive Director, Robert M. Merryman Performing Arts Center, Kearney, NE
“The show was terrific, offering a lot of happy memories for the largely baby boomer audience, and even some fond ones for the Generation X-ers who remember them from their big hair days. While many groups meet and greet the audience before and after the show, the Nelsons went above and beyond, talking with absolutely anyone and everyone wanting to meet them. Simply put, these are artists who “get it” and know how to take care of their fans." – Seth Keyes, General Manager & Programmer, The Colonial Theatre, Pittsfield, MA
