Life Magazine coined the phrase 'Teen Idol' after him and he is credited with pio- neering the country rock sound. Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Ricky Nelson's life and music touched millions; his twin sons, multi-platinum recording artists, Matthew & Gunnar Nelson, re- live the music and memories in their multi-me- dia event, Ricky Nelson Remembered. Featuring hit songs like "Hello Mary Lou," "Poor Little Fool," "Travelin' Man," "I'm Walkin'," "I Gotta Feeling," "Teenage Idol," "Garden Party" and many more, RNR showcases his life with never-before-seen interviews from artists he in- fl uenced, including Paul McCartney and Chris Isaak. Matthew and Gunnar's musical event is heartfelt and full of laughter. "The Nelson family hasn't been in the entertain- ment business for over 100 years, we've been in the connection business," Gunnar Nelson said. "It's the generation that grew up with Ricky Nel- son that created rock and roll - it's our absolute privilege to continue this legacy." "We honor our Pop's music from his early teen- age idol days and move into his musical renais- sance days with the Stone Canyon Band and "Garden Party"," Matthew Nelson said. "This show is not a tribute, it's a celebration." Ricky Nelson's legacy includes 53 hit singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and nineteen other top-ten hits. He is one of the biggest-selling artists of all time, a Golden Globe winner for his performance alongside John Wayne in Rio Bravo and in the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. From Ozzie and Harriet to Ricky to Matthew and Gunnar, the Nelson's are listed in the Guin- ness Book of World Records as the only family in history with three successive generations of No. 1 hit makers. Matthew and Gunnar are also nephews of NCIS star, Mark Harmon, on their mother's side.
