News Update: Everly Teams Up With Nicholas Sparks for Family Fun Weekend!

Sweeney & Lenz as Everly
EVERLY TO PERFORM AT NICHOLAS SPARKS CELEBRITY CHARITY WEEKEND

Bethany Joy Lenz and Amber Sweeney of the musical duo EVERLY will be performing at a special show during the Nicholas Sparks Celebrity Family Weekend in New Bern, NC. Lenz and Sweeney will perform during Family Fun Night at the New Bern Riverfront Convention Center on April 20.

The event-filled charity weekend, which will take place at multiple venues around the coastal town, will benefit global education initiates for the youth, Hope for the Warrior and Paws With A Cause.

"I am so excited about the Nicholas Sparks Celebrity Family Weekend", said Sweeney. "The Sparks family are such generous people, and it's an honor to be a part of the causes they support! Plus, we not only get to play as Everly, but we'll get to participate in all the other events throughout the weekend!"

The evening will also include a magic show by acclaimed magician and illusionist Carl Michael, arts and crafts, games along with a down-home picnic and opportunities for autographs and photographs from celebrity guests. The rest of the weekend will also include a golf tournament, film festival, a Nicholas Sparks Family Brunch and more.

The state of North Carolina is no foreign land to the talented ladies. Up until last winter, Lenz called the quaint city of Wilmington home for nine years, while she starred in the CW hit series “One Tree Hill”. Her musical passion was crossed over into her on-screen character of Haley as her and Sweeney put on multiple “Tree Hill” performances throughout the show’s nine-year run.

Lenz has also transformed one of Sparks’ most successful and critically-acclaimed popular novels The Notebook into a musical production. The play, which had a one-time live run through in Wilmington, is still in its developing process; as Lenz told me in a past interview, while she wants to tell this classic story in a unique way, she still wants it to reflect Sparks’ original vision for it. “We want to make sure that what we put out there as the final product is really honoring to the story and especially to Nicholas Sparks and his family because that story was very close to his family.”

Join Everly along with the Sparks family for what is sure to be an exciting weekend helping wonderful causes!
