The Everly Brothers: Songs of Innocence and Experience

Overview

Taught to sing from their earliest years, the brothers were raised in a unique cross-current of musical influences, from Appalachian harmony duos to black country blues singers. Their father Ike was an influential guitar picker and hosted the Everly Family Radio Show in the Mid West in the 40s and 50s. It was here that Don and Phil made their public debut. Arena retraces the Everlys' journey, from guitar picking in Kentucky with Ike's friend Mose Regur to Tennessee where their early hits were penned by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant. Meet their legendary producer Chet Atkins, architect of the 'Nashville Sound', and follow their career from their heyday in the 50s to the present day.
