Music with The Beverly Brothers
The Beverly Brothers are a harmony-based duo patterned
after the Everly Brothers. Singing songs also from Elvis, Rick
Nelson, and Buddy Holly, to Hank Williams Sr. and Patsy
Cline, The Beverly Brothers play a wide variety of classic
songs from that era. Meeting in 1971, Rick Nethery and
Van Duren have worked together in music for the better part
of that time. “After this much time together we almost are
brothers and it makes for a large set list, which helps things go
smoothly at different venues.” Coming to a memory near you.
