Margaret Everly

Margaret Everly, the mother of Don and Phil Everly, died Dec. 6, 2021, in Nashville at the age of 102.

Margaret and husband Ike and their two sons moved to Shenandoah, Virginia, in the mid-1940s when Ike was a performer on KMA and KFNF in the era of live music over the airwaves.

Ike was the family's first performer, but it was Margaret who encouraged Don and Phil to become musicians. Eventually, the Everlys moved to Tennessee in the mid-1950s, and the Everly Brothers became music legends, churning out hit after hit. Ike Everly died in 1975. Margaret outlived both sons. Phil died in 2014, and Don passed away in August 2021.

Fan Club – Everly Brothers International

Everly Brothers International (EBI) has been the official and the biggest Everly Brothers fan club for more than 50 years now. The fan club is a continuation of the original USA/UK fan clubs and the Dutch fan club 'Our Stars'. Although all of them had folded by the mid 70s, EBI which was founded in late 1966 is still thriving today with even more members than ever before thanks to the new media like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and of course its own website, which is found at everly.net.
