Kramer, Terry Sylvester (of The Hollies) & Joey Molland (of Badfinger) The Lads From Liverpool: Songs & Stories provides the rare opportunity for three extremely successful performers to combine their individual, award-winning music with stories about their careers and growing up with the most successful band in history...The Beatles.

Liverpool natives Billy J. Kramer, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Terry Sylvester of The Hollies and Joey Molland of Badfinger come together to sing their combined twenty Top 10 hits and share behind-the-scenes stories of their relationships with John, Paul, George and Ringo.

Billy tells of being the first person to have a hit with a Lennon & McCartney song even before the Beatles did. Terry takes the audience into The Beatles legendary final performance at the Cavern Club when Paul and George had Terry’s first band, The Escorts, open for them at the show. Joey talks about Badfinger being the backing band at the legendary Concert for Bangladesh.

It’s a step back in time to the greatest music and stories the world has ever heard.

Igor & Red Elvises Igor Yuzov was born in Germany, raised in Ukraine and studied in Russia. He grew up in the former Soviet Union, where folk music was the norm and rock’n’roll was illegal. A rebellious streak, however, led him to seek out the forbidden music. Igor and his Russian friends became Red Elvises and gave street performances on Santa Monica’s 3rd Street Promenade. As their crowds grew larger, the City of Santa Monica ordered them to discontinue their street performances. Evolving over the years, Igor’s music has been labeled “Siberian Surf Rock” which contains humorous lyrics and grooves that forces his audience to dance. As an independent band, Red Elvises have produced 12 studio albums, two live albums, a live concert DVD, and a Greatest Hits compilation.

David Jacobs-Strain & Bob Beach and Hoots & Hellmouth David Jacobs-Strain is a fierce slide guitar player, and a song poet from Oregon. He’s known for both his virtuosity and spirit of emotional abandon; his live show moves from humorous, subversive blues, to delicate balladry, and then swings back to swampy rock and roll. It’s a range that ties Jacobs-Strain to his own generation and to guitar-slinger troubadours like Robert Johnson and Jackson Browne. Bob Beach is a master harmonica player, flute player, songwriter and singer. David and Bob’s live show moves from humorous, subversive blues, to delicate balladry, and then swings back to swampy rock and roll.

Rhett Miller (Of Old 97’s) Texas native Rhett Miller is perhaps best known as the frontman of the Dallas-based alt-country band the Old 97’s, and he has also pursued a critically acclaimed solo career. Formed in 1993, the Old 97’s built a devoted following with their brash blend of country and power pop influences, making a splash with 1995’s Wreck Your Life, a period kicked off with one of their finest hours, 1997’s Too Far to Care. All four members also pursued side projects, but Miller’s solo career captured the most attention, with the literate songwriter training his eye on such subjects as fatherhood, sex, and love. Making his solo bow with 2002’s The Instigator, most of Miller’s solo albums have been dominated by cool, melodic pop tunes with a drier and more confessional bent than his work with the band, though 2012’s The Dreamer explored a middle ground between his pop and alt-country sensibilities, and the 2011 set The Interpreter: Live at Largo revealed he’s a sure hand with other people’s songs.

After a long, building early career, Carolyn’s first appearance on vinyl was with James Williamson (Stooges) on the single, “Open Up & Bleed”. Her circle of musician friends and admirers includes Ray Benson and also the late Eddy Shaver, Shelley King, and yes, Bob Dylan, who likened her composition “Bloodless Revolution” to “a mystery movie theme.” She appeared on the same taping with Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings when she made her debut on PBS’ “Austin City Limits” (Season 35) and had the thrill of her life when Bonnie Raitt joined her onstage for “The Road to Austin” concert film. She’s played with James Cotton, Pinetop Perkins, and so many others at Antone’s. She co-writes with Sarah Brown, Shelley King, Marcia Ball, Ruthie Foster, Cindy Cashdollar, and Guy Forsyth; and sat in with Los Lobos, Levon Helm, Vintage Trouble, Robert Earl Keen, and Ray Wylie Hubbard.
