SIX DECADES.
CHART TOPPING DUETS.
FEATURING THE MUSIC OF OVER 60 DIFFERENT ARTISTS.
Vocalists, multi-instrumentalists, and award-winning husband/wife songwriters Annalyse McCoy and Ryan Dunn celebrate love and music in DECADES IN DUET! They say “it takes two to make a dream come true,” and this dynamic duo gives that old adage new life as they bring their years of headline experience in New York City and Nashville together to create this special concert event. Featuring cross-genre favorites from the 60s/70s (“I Got You Babe,” “Don’t Go Breakin’ My Heart,”), classic pop from the 80s/90s (“Islands in the Stream,” “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life,” “Up Where We Belong”), and modern crossover hits (“Shallow,” Jason Aldean/Kelly Clarkson’s “Don’t You Wanna Stay,” and Tony Bennett/Lady Gaga’s new take on “The Lady Is a Tramp”), the eclectic array of music in DECADES IN DUET surprises audiences at every turn. Comprising 50+ years of combined stage experience, their careers have taken them to venues like Lincoln Center, NYC's Opry City Stage, and Nashville's premier clubs, sharing bills with Kathy Mattea, Jimmy Vivino, The Black Lillies and more. Even their backstories make for an interesting duet: she grew up in the hills of eastern Kentucky (descended from the survivors and storytellers of the famous McCoy-Hatfield feud) right off of Country Music Highway, while he spent his childhood on the New Jersey shore singing boardwalk doo-wop and listening to hometown favorites Frank Sinatra and Bruce Springsteen!
