Conceived after Mark Cutler, John Fuzek and Dan Lilley performed the
Neil Young classic “Powderfinger” as a group set closer for a RI
Songwriters Association
show at Stone Soup Coffeehouse in Pawtucket,
RI, “Forever Young” is a group of performers that pay tribute to the songs of
Neil Young. In addition to Cutler, Fuzek and Lilley,
Forever Young original
members also include
Becky Chace and Pete Vendettuoli.  John
Amitrano
and Phil Hicks were added to the band in December of 2007 to
give the show a "Crazy Horse" kind of feel. All of the musicians performing as
part of “Forever Young” are staples of the Rhode Island music scene. In
addition, they are all fans and have been influenced by the music of Neil
Young. Drawing on the 40+ year career of Neil Young; the two hour + show  
highlights many of Young’s popular songs and a few of the more obscure
numbers. The show is presented either as an “in-the-round”-meaning that all
five musicians will be on stage at once and take turns performing the songs
either solo or with accompaniment of one or several members of the group; or
with the full seven -piece band doing both
ACOUSTIC and ELECTRIC SETS.
These formats are reminiscent of the
"Four Way Street"  live album recorded
by
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young and of Neil Young with back-up band,
Crazy Horse. "Forever Young"
takes you back, gets you singing, and puts
those Neil Young songs in your head to linger long after the show!
