About

Walk Right Back is the story of two Kentucky country boys who grew up performing on local radio with their parents Ike and Margaret, moved to Nashville as teens where they were discovered by the legendary guitarist Chet Atkins, signed to a publishing company and teamed up with the incredible husband & wife songwriting team, Boudleaux and Felice Bryant. Next thing you know ‘Bye Bye Love’ is in the charts and the Everly boys are megastars. The rest, as they say, is history and you’re about to relive it all and more over the next couple of hours.

As many people have said in one form or another, the chemistry and intuition those boys had with each other meant that when their two voices came together, a totally unique sound was created. Something more than just two people singing. It was a sound that had never been heard before and probably never will again.

Marry that with some of the greatest songwriters, musicians and record producers that have ever lived and you’ve got the perfect recipe for some of the finest music ever made. Those records became the foundation of the country / rock’n’roll genre and Don & Phil’s harmonies have gone on to influence countless others after them, not least Simon & Garfunkel and John Lennon & Paul McCartney.

Walk Right Back is a show born out of nothing more than a sheer love of The Everly Brothers’ music. Since our early days of working together, Pete and I shared many a car journey listening to the Everlys’ magical sound and singing along in harmony. Late 2016 was when we first decided to turn this love into a real thing that exists for everyone to come and enjoy. In 2017, with the help of our That’ll Be The Day friends and bandmates, Jarrod Loughlin & Clive Fishlock and executive producer Trevor Payne, we started writing the show, recruiting our musicians and singers, booking and promoting the first UK tour, and Walk Right Back played its first performance in the spring of 2018.

From there, we have enjoyed the journey of creating a production that brings you the magic of the Everly Brothers and all the musical moments that you remember from those incredible records along with plenty of extra treats from our stellar band!

We can’t express how thankful we are that even though we weren’t lucky enough to have been there when it was all happening for real, we get to put out a show that is set in a time of the birth of rock’n’roll and recreates one of the most inspiring musical stories that ever happened.
