41 Bridge Street proudly presents Grammy nominee John Ford Coley (formerly of England Dan and John Ford Coley) and Rock n’ Roll Hall of Famer Terry Sylvester (formerly of The Hollies) on Saturday, November 12th at 8 PM!

John Ford Coley is most revered as half of the Grammy nominated duo England Dan and John Ford Coley. He continues with an active roster performing the platinum and gold record hits for audiences around the world. Classically trained on piano and an avid guitarist, John loves the craft and enjoys every audience he encounters. Over the years John has shared the stage with many of the music industry’s famous hit makers. Some of those include: Elton John, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Chicago, Carole King, Bread, Loggins and Messina, Led Zepplin, Carly Simon, Bill Cosby, Steve Miller Band, Randy Bachman, Jesse Colin Young, Air Supply, Ambrosia, Poco, Terry Sylvester, Orleans, Lou Gramm, and Gordon Lightfoot, to name a few.

Terry Sylvester started his musical career at the famous Cavern Club in Liverpool, England in the early 1960’s. His first group, The Escorts, appeared at the Cavern Club with The Beatles on many occasions, and when The Beatles played their last gig at the Cavern Club, The Escorts were hand-picked to share the stage with them. In 1965, Terry joined the ‘Swinging Blue Jeans.’ In 1968, Terry got his big break when he was asked to replace Graham Nash in ‘The Hollies’; his first single with them, ‘Sorry Suzanne’ reached # 3 in the UK charts, and his first album ‘Hollies Sing Dylan’ went to # 1. In 1969, they recorded ‘He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother’, with Elton John playing piano; the song became their biggest hit, and to this day still remains an anthem for those who help others less fortunate than themselves. More hits followed, including the 1972 US # 1, ‘Long Cool Woman, In A Black Dress’, and the 1974 worldwide smash hit ‘The Air That I Breathe’. Terry has been awarded four Platinum, nine Gold, and six Silver discs so far in his career, and in March 2010, he was inducted into the ‘Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame’.
