CHAD & JEREMY BIO
From humble beginnings in coffee houses and folk clubs in London, Chad Stuart and Jeremy Clyde were "discovered" by famed movie composer John Barry and went on to record a string of their hits - Yesterday's Gone, Summer Song, Willow Weep For Me, If I Loved You, Before and After and Distant Shores. As former drama students, they were quickly snapped up by Hollywood ("We had long hair and could string a sentence together") appearing as themselves in legendary television shows including The Dick Van Dyke Show, Patty Duke Show, Laredo (a western yet!) and Batman.
As the turbulent sixties drew to a close, they produced their best studio work (Cabbages & Kings and The Ark), but the lyrics from their biggest hit turned out to be prophetic, "All good things must end some day". Jeremy returned to London to pursue his first calling as an actor and that, seemingly, was the end.
With thirty seven re-releases of their albums, re-runs of their TV shows and their colossal hit, Summer Song, heard not only on oldies radio, but in the movies (Rushmore and Princess Diaries) and the Sports Heaven spots at the 2006 Super Bowl, Chad & Jeremy have retained their own niche in the global, musical consciousness. Serendipity intervened in the summer of 2003 with a PBS TV music special followed shortly thereafter by talk of a reunion tour.
30 years in the re-making, the duo kicks off the long awaited world tour in North America. The appropriately named tour, “Summer Songs For A Rainy Day”, rolls into theaters in North America beginning in the fall of 2006.
