The Forever Young Band was originally 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 (March 2006). Forever Young is a group of performers
that pay tribute to the SONGS of Neil Young. No one in the band tries to imitate 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. Original drummer, Phil Hicks passed away in Jan 2010. Leo Dumas
was added to the line-up a few months later. Amy Bedard joined the band in April 2011 to add vocals,
violin, guitar and keyboard. Becky Chace left the band in 2013 due to other commitments. All of the
musicians performing in Forever Young are staples of the Rhode Island music scene and veterans of
many national and regional tours. 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 show highlights many of Youngs popular
songs and a few of the more obscure numbers. The show is presented with the full seven-piece band
doing both the acoustic and electric songs that Neil Young is famous for. The show is reminiscent
of the "Four Way Street" live album recorded by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and of Neil Young
with his many different back-up bands.
