REVIEWS:
“Forever Young combines superb musicianship, great arrangements and a well-chosen set list of hits and rarities in finely saluting one of rock’s legends. They are also a lot of fun.”
-Patrick Norton, President, Narrows Center for the Arts; Fall River, MA
“On-stage, the band’s love of Neil’s music is palpable, something that is not lost on the audience. They don’t try to “be”? Neil, but rather “deliver”? Neil, and deliver they do!”
-The Greenwich Odeum
“How do you judge a tribute band? Perhaps the goal of such an act might be to make you forget they’re a tribute band. Their sound should be authentic, mirroring what you’d expect from the original band or artist. At their January 25th Greenwich Odeum show, the band re-created many Neil Young classics quite realistically, even down to Neil’s renown guitar feedback. Each member of this band contributes. On songs like “Needle and the Damage Done” and “Like a Hurricane, “Dan Lilley (guitar and vocals) sings with Neil’s primal intensity. Violinist and singer Amy Bedard leads of some of Neil’s more mellow tunes, including the classic “After the Gold Rush.” Pete Vendettuoli on lead guitar painstaking recreates Neil’s screaming solos, John Fuzek is the multi-talented instrumentalist who belts it out on “Hey Hey My My,” and bass player Sean Finnerty sings a sweet version of a really deep cut, “The Losing End.” Playing to a near-capacity crowd on a stormy night, the band rocked the house. They play throughout New England including a few RI shows a year. Highly recommended!”
