Nelson featuring a tribute to their father Ricky Nelson
NELSON, the rock band from the 80’s that spawned 3 Top 10 Hits, 4 #1 MTV Videos, and sold over 4 million albums worldwide will be performing their only Northwest date on Thursday, November 18th, 2010 at the historic King Cat Theater in Seattle.
The twins Gunnar and Matthew, sons of the late superstar Ricky Nelson, and the grandkids of Ozzie and Harriet Nelson, are also listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the only family to reach number one record status in three successive generations.
Their multi-platinum debut album After The Rain included the hit "(Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection which helped to land them on the cover of such magazines as ROLLING STONE and PEOPLE while performing live on The David Letterman Show and Saturday Night Live.
With the rise of grunge rock in the mid-90s, pop music grew dark and foreboding. Matthew and Gunnar chose not to compromise their positive, drug-free posture to suit the trend. Those who continued to follow the brothers’ musical progress were rewarded with numerous gems on their seven subsequent albums on their own Stone Canyon Records label.
Matthew and Gunnar have rare insights into what it takes to earn longevity in the entertainment world. They continue the inspiring story of a most remarkable show business family. Their grandparents, Ozzie and Harriet Nelson, achieved immortality with "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet," the longest-running live action sitcom in television history. Earlier, the couple had enjoyed big band success and had scored a number one hit in 1934.
Ricky Nelson emerged from the series’ popularity to establish himself as one of the most important rock artists of the ‘50s and ‘60s with 60 million career sales and three number ones of his own.
The world maintains its fascination with America’s First Family of Entertainment, the Nelsons.
A&E channel’s Nelson Family “Biography” episode is still the top-rated ‘Biography’ installment ever.
Nelson has always been synonymous with entertainment in America. Matthew and Gunnar see all forms of media as vital links to their fans. Recently, NELSON toured extensively with Peter Frampton and Styx, plus, they’ve increased their television hosting work for VH1 and E! Gunnar is also a standout reality TV star from VH1’s “Celebrity Fit Club” successfully shedding 30 pounds to ensure his team’s victory. Plus, Gunnar recently co-hosted LIFETIME Radio’s nationally syndicated morning show for a year.
Once again billed as NELSON, Matthew and Gunnar continue to perform sold-out shows around the globe. Contributing to their audience’s extraordinary devotion is the fact that Matthew and Gunnar tirelessly try to please. They take time to meet and greet each and every fan following all performances… for in their own words, “Our people are everything to us.”
Defying any preconceptions, Matthew and Gunnar dazzle audiences of all ages. They carry on the family tradition, while carving out their own musical identities with grace, class, and passion. Their live show flat-out ROCKS.
Their performance at the historic King Cat Theater on November 18th will include a special acoustic set of their father’s hit songs including such gems as “Hello Mary Lou", "Travelin' Man”,and “Garden Party.
Tickets for this show are available at the King Cat Theater box office, Ticketswest, and Brown Paper Tickets. The show is open to all ages, with comfortable seating, wonderful intimate views from every angle, and a lounge for the adults with I.D.
