Lon Van Eaton Announces LIVIES Live Show
by Nicole Rosky - Jan 26, 2011
Last year, owing to the CD release Come and Get It: the Best of Apple Records, Beatles' fans and the music-buying public has finally gotten reacquainted with the name of Lon Van Eaton. In 1971, Lon and his brother Derrek had formed a singing duo in their native New Jersey, when they were signed to The Beatles' Apple Records and recorded an album called Brother (1973). The album (the first-ever CD compilation of several artists signed to The Beatles' Apple label) finds Lon & Derrek in good company, including Apple-singles from James Taylor, Mary Hopkin, Billy Preston, and Badfinger, with their track 'Sweet Music.' Concurrent with that release, Lon Van Eaton announced plans for a new interactive entertainment show called Livies - Live Interactive Visual Immersion Entertainment Shows. The production features all original music and rear-and-front projected images on three domes; much akin to the ones featured on the new Paula Abdul show called Live To Dance.
