Lon & Derrek Van Eaton

Lon & Derrek Van Eaton were an American vocal and multi-instrumentalist duo from Trenton, New Jersey, consisting of brothers Lon and Derrek Van Eaton. They are best known for their association with the Beatles through the brothers' brief stint on Apple Records, and for their subsequent session work in Los Angeles for producer Richard Perry. As well as recording their own albums, during the 1970s they appeared on releases by artists including George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Harry Nilsson, Carly Simon, Martha Reeves and Art Garfunkel.

After being out of print for close to 40 years, their sole Apple album, Brother, containing the Harrison-produced single "Sweet Music", was reissued on RPM Records in June 2012.

Lon and Derrek Van Eaton began their professional musical career during the mid 1960s, as teenagers, in a popular Trenton band known as the Trees. The Trees released one single, on the local Bali-Hi label – "Don't Miss the Turn" backed with "Your Life", both sides of which were written and arranged by Lon Van Eaton. With Trees drummer Tim Case, they soon morphed into Jacobs Creek, a band signed to Columbia Records, for whom they released an eponymous studio album in 1969. Jacobs Creek also did well on the local music scene, playing at Andy Warhol's parties and opening for the Doors, but failed to make an impact elsewhere. After the band's break-up in March 1971, another of its members would go on to enjoy a degree of success in the music industry: lead guitarist Steve Burgh recorded and toured with artists such as David Bromberg, Willie Nelson, John Prine, Billy Joel, Steve Forbert, Phoebe Snow and Steve Goodman.
