Artist Bio:
Zager & Evans was a folk-rock duo consisting of Denny Zager and Rick Evans. They formed in Nebraska in the mid-1960s and gained fame with their debut album, "2525 (Exordium & Terminus)," which featured the hit single "In The Year 2525." The duo's music often explored themes of science fiction and social commentary, and they were known for their intricate harmonies and acoustic guitar arrangements.
