Denny Laine joined The Moody Blues and sang their first big hit, "Go Now" in 1964. Denny joined Paul McCartney to found the group known as Wings in 1971, and would stay with them for a full ten years until they officially disbanded in 1981.
Together with Paul McCartney and his wife (the late Linda) in Wings, Denny provided guitars, backing vocals, keyboards, bass, writing and co-writing skills. It was with Wings that Denny enjoyed the biggest commercial and critical successes of his career, including co-writing the smash hit "Mull of Kintyre."
Terry Sylvester was sharing the stage with the Beatles regularly in and around Liverpool and at the world famous Cavern Club, fronting his own group the Escorts when he was 16 years old.
In January 1966, the then 18 year old Terry was asked to join The Swinging Blue Jeans. They had a number of hits including "Hippy Hippy Shake," "Good Golly Miss Molly" & "You're No Good."
In December 1968, Graham Nash left the Hollies to form Crosby, Stills, & Nash. The remaining members of the Hollies asked Terry to join, and the rest (as they say) is history. Terry's first album with them, Hollies Sing Dylan, went all the way to number 1.
Soon after they recorded "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" with the then unknown session man Elton John playing piano. The song became a world wide hit. More hits followed including U.S. number 1, "Long Cool Woman, In A Black Dress," and the 1974 universal classic love song, "The Air That I Breathe."
Terry has been awarded 5 Platinum, 9 Gold, and 6 Silver Discs so far in his career. On March 15th, 2010 he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.
The Cryers will open the show and also accompany Denny Laine and Terry Sylvester as each performer's backing band.
