NEVERLY BROTHERS

Kevin Giragosian – vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica
Kegham Giragosian – drums (snare & kick drum played standing up with brushes)
Craig Gigstad – Upright Bass Fiddle

Not just a Rockabilly revival…It's a Rock n' Roll Evolution!

Musically and conceptually The Neverly Brothers bridge the gap between 50s rockabilly and early 60s British invasion as they take you on a retro-sonic express train ride from Bowling Green, Kentucky to Liverpool, England…and back!

Musical Description:
The Neverly Brothers are not an "oldies cover band," nor are they a tribute act. They are a very unique and exciting retro-sonic concept…AND ABOVE ALL THEY ARE TRUE ENTERTAINERS! Their enthusiastic stage show will transport you back in time on a virtual tour of one of the most exciting unexplored phases in pop music history: the transition of rock n' roll from its American Rockabilly roots to the British Invasion.

Their song sequence & selection, accompanied by narrative historical footnotes, will illustrate how the music and energy of the 1950s American Rockabilly & Rock n' Roll pioneers set the stage for the adventurous young bands of the British Invasion movement. Their repertoire consists of show-stopping renditions of early hits by The Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly, Carl Perkins, The Beatles, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones and many other artists who shaped rock n' roll during the years 1955 through 1965.

Artists covered:
1950s: Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Gene Vincent, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Buck Owens, Eddie Cochran, Ricky Nelson, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, etc.1960s: early Beatles, early Rolling Stones, Dave Clark Five, Hollies, Herman’s Hermits, Peter & Gordon, Beau Brummells, Brian Hyland, Bobby Fuller Four, Johnny Cash

Background:
Kevin Giragosian an accomplished singer/songwriter/guitarist – has been a prominent figure on the Chicago live music circuit for over 18 years – most known for his power-pop band THE WOMBATS. Over the years, his songs have been aired on various Chicago area commercial and college radio stations including WXRT and Q101. His love of vocal harmony, early-American rockabilly artists and British Invasion bands brought him to create a unique musical act that has virtually become an overnight success. The Neverly Brothers are rounded out by the formidable rhythm section of Craig Gigstad on upright bass fiddle and Kegham Giragosian on minimalist stand-up drum kit. Both Kegham and Craig are also veterans of the Chicago music scene – Kegham as the Drummer for THE WOMBATS and Craig as bassist for various bands over the years. They are both versatile musicians equally skilled as singers as they are as instrumentalists.
