Zachary and Dylan Zmed are millennials, but they grew up on the music of the ’50s.

Their father is actor Adrian Zmed, best known for his roles in the movie “Grease 2” and the television series “TJ Hooker.”

“Mom is a second-grade teacher,” Dylan Zmed said during a telephone interview. “We’d spend the school year in southern California and the summer traveling with dad in whatever musical he was doing.”

Many times, that musical was “Grease,” which not only has a soundtrack inspired by the music of the ’50s, but the music played before the show each night was those early rock ‘n’ roll hits.

One of their favorites was the Everly Brothers, particularly the song “All I Have to Do Is Dream.”

“When dad was backstage with the other actors and singers, they’d sing ‘Dream’ before going on stage,” he said. “He used to sing it to us when we were going to sleep. It’s incredibly nostalgic for us.”

When the brothers started making music together in 2009, they realized their voices were well-suited for those tight harmonies for which Don and Phil Everly were known. They were writing their own songs, but they often played a couple of Everly Brothers’ hits as well.

“Whenever we’d play their songs for people our age, they’d say, ‘I love that song. Who did it, the Righteous Brothers?’ Everybody knows Buddy Holly, Elvis, Roy Orbison, but not the Everly Brothers. We felt there was a void.”

The Zmed brothers fill it with the Everly Brothers Experience, which comes to Packard Music Hall on March 24 as part of the Warren Civic Music Association’s 2021-22 season.

The Everly Brothers had no shortage of hits to build a show around. The duo had more than two dozen top 40 pop hits during its career, including “Wake Up Little Susie,” “Bye Bye Love,” “Bird Dog,” “Problems” and “Crying in the Rain.”

And while the British Invasion was pushing many veteran acts off the charts in the U.S., the Everly Brothers had six top 40 hits in 1964 and ’65 in the U.K.

“One of the hardest things is deciding what songs not to do,” Dylan said. “They just have so many amazing hits.”

The Zmed brothers don’t wear wigs or pretend to be Don and Phil on stage. They faithfully play the music and share a little history along the way. As the act continued, they started drawing inspiration from another pair of brothers — ’60s variety show stars the Smothers Brothers.

“We started having this Smothers Brothers-type banter back and forth, which came from me not remembering certain things and him correcting me,” Dylan said “It became a bit, and we started to run with it.”

In addition to learning the Everlys’ songs, the Zmeds also tried to learn some lessons from their lives. Like many of the sibling acts before and after them, the Everlys had a prickly relationship and spent a decade apart.

Dylan said they have a mutual friend with Dick Smothers, and the friend told them that Smothers brothers once invited the Everlys to dinner in hopes of patching up the rift between the pair.

“By the end of the dinner, all of them were arguing,” he said.

There’s a magic that comes from family members making music together, according to Dylan, but there are challenges that come with capturing that magic.

“One of the original songs we have is called ‘Kindness Is Magic,’ and we tell the audience we have to remind ourselves of that everyday on the road. The intensity of touring, going from A to B, the long car rides and schedule fatigue, you lose grace with each other. That song is our daily reminder.”

The Zmeds continue to write and record new music, something that got more attention when they were unable to tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Kindness Is Magic” and one other original song usually are a part of the setlist, and the brothers will have a CD of their originals for sale at next week’s concert.

But celebrating the Everly Brothers’ legacy remains a priority. Dylan isn’t sure why the Everlys aren’t as well known as some of their peers, suggesting it might be because there’s never been a movie about their lives like “The Buddy Holly Story” or the Jerry Lee Lewis biopic “Great Balls of Fire” to introduce them to a new generation of listeners.

“Don just passed last year,” Dylan said. “Now more than ever it’s important to keep their music alive and their story alive.”
