He was America’s first TV heartthrob and the only artist in history to have a number one TV show, number one movie, and a number one song all in the same week.

Relive those days of rock’n’roll in the concert performance "Ricky Nelson Remembered”. This concert is a unique multi-media entertainment event featuring the live music of Ricky Nelson's hit songs performed by his twin sons Matthew & Gunnar and includes never before seen  video footage of the Nelson family with interviews from celebrities influenced by Ricky Nelson. The show celebrates the life of America’s original ‘Teen Idol’ taking the audience on a musical journey down memory lane.

The event stars Matthew and Gunnar Nelson, the identical twin sons of Ricky Nelson and grandsons of ‘50s TV icons Ozzie & Harriet Nelson.  When Matthew & Gunnar hit #1 on the Billboard with their rock band NELSON, it put the Nelson family in the Guinness Book of Worlds as the only family in entertainment history with three generations of #1 hitmakers!

“Ricky Nelson Remembered” is a cross between a high energy rock concert where the audience sings along with Gunnar and Matthew as they perform their dad’s classic songs like “Hello Mary Lou” “Garden Party,” and “Travelin’ Man” and an A&E Biography episode that brings glimpses into Ricky Nelson’s life and the times in which he lived.

Nearly 25 years ago we lost a national treasure to a plane crash.
His sons and their band pay tribute to him and bring his musical legacy to you.
