Cleethorpes band EVER have taken a giant leap in their musical ambition by signing a contract with a top producer in LA, USA. EVER members, McKenzie Hillyard, 15, Isaac Stratford, 16, his elder brother Connor, 28, and Max McNiven, 15, on drums have signed with Rob Cavallo, who is management boss and producer for legendary band Green Day. He has also worked with Linkin Park, Alanis Morrissete and Eric Clapton.
He works with his sister Lisa, who will be coming to Cleethorpes this weekend to see the band play on the Armed Forces stage at the Remembrance Gate on Saturday evening. In a Facebook post the band announced their management contract with Done Deal Management. They will be heading to Los Angeles in November to record an album which could take around three weeks.
They described Rob Cavallo as a legend in the music industry. Their post said: "We are so grateful to Lisa @moxiemop Kim @kimanebergcavallo and Rob Cavallo for this amazing opportunity, this is HUGE for us, and we are excited to see what the future holds! We also want to thank everyone who’s supported us on our journey so far! Isaac, McKenzie, Max & Con." The band's first single Don't Know How To Love was a viral sensation and has been quickly followed this year with Overdrive.
They went to see Green Day in Manchester last week and were inspired by their musical heroes. Isaac's mum Shelley told Grimsby Live: "It feels unreal. It's huge.
The opportunities this will give the lads are amazing. They have been on Zo.
