Nelson Twins To Honor Father With ‘Ricky Nelson Remembered’ At Fargo Theatre

[alert type=red ]Due to COVID-19, Ricky Nelson Remembered Starring Matthew and Gunnar Nelson scheduled for Thursday, February 4, 2021, is now being rescheduled to Sunday, September 26, 2021.[/alert]

The Nelson brothers, Matthew & Gunnar, will bring their tribute show, “Ricky Nelson Remembered,” to the Fargo Theatre on Thursday, May 7, 2020.

Ricky Nelson Remembered is a unique multi-media entertainment event featuring the live music of Ricky Nelson’s hit songs (including “Hello Mary Lou”, “Travelin’ Man”, “Garden Party”) performed by Ricky’s own twin sons Matthew & Gunnar and includes never before seen big-screen video footage of the Nelson family with interviews from celebrities influenced by Ricky Nelson. The show appeals to a wide audience and multiple generations and celebrates the life of America’s original ‘Teen Idol’. This year 2019 marks the 34th anniversary of Rick Nelson’s passing in a tragic New Year’s Eve plane crash.

This show stars Matthew and Gunnar Nelson, the identical twin sons of Rock’n’Roll Hall of Famer Ricky Nelson and grandsons of ‘50s TV icons Ozzie & Harriet Nelson. When Matthew & Gunnar hit #1 on the Billboard with their rock band Nelson with their self-penned #1 mega-hit “(Can’t Live Without Your) Love & Affection” it put the Nelson family in the Guinness Book of Worlds as the only family in entertainment history with three generations of #1 hitmakers! With their rock band Nelson, Matthew and Gunnar have five Top 40 Billboard hits, four #1 MTV videos and have sold over 6.5 million albums worldwide!

Perhaps the most televised rock star in history, the twin’s legendary father Ricky Nelson emerged from the TV series’ popularity to establish himself as one of the most important rock artists of the ‘50s and ‘60s with over 200 million career record sales. Rick Nelson is in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame credited with founding the country-rock music genre.

The world maintains its fascination with America’s First Family of Entertainment, the Nelsons.
A&E channel’s Nelson Family “Biography” episode is still one of the top-rated ‘Biography’ installments. Matthew & Gunnar embraced this fascination by creating a touring show to celebrate the TV Nelsons and the amazing career of their legendary father, Ricky, for whom LIFE magazine coined the phrase “teen idol”. They share video clips & tell stories about their Hollywood family and perform their Pop’s music live to audiences in Ricky Nelson Remembered while separately touring as “Nelson”.
