timeline...part six (after
1987)
The Harrah's gig had been the end for
C&J, but not the end of the careers of the two group
members...
Almost immediately after the breakup,
Jeremy returned to The Adventures of William Tell (inexplicably
retitled Crossbow in the states), and appeared in a minor film called
Wilt (which was also inexplicably retitled in the US, this time to The
Adventures of Mr. Wilt). In the early 1990s, he played a major role in
Kaspar Hauser, a German film which won great acclaim and 9
international film awards, and in 1995 he was again on stage in a revival of Cavalcade.Recently, Jeremy has been working on a musical, and he still writes prolifically. He stays
in the public eye through his acting career, both on stage and on screen, including a stint as a recurring
character on a UK sitcom. In 2000, he appeared in the major motion picture The Musketeer.
In 1990, Chad moved
out of the LA rat race, and lives in beautiful (and isolated!) Ketchum, Idaho. He is now a music teacher who continues
to compose and record in his home studio. Throughout much of the 1990s, he hosted his
own local radio program, but he gave it up at the end of the decade. He will soon be releasing his own CD's on
the web label, electricpaintbox.com. He has also written a children's
book, called The Ballymara Flood, first published in 1996, to which an entire page is
devoted on this site.
Since the 1980's, C&J's
relationship has been distant at times, but recently they have reconnected. In April and June of 2002, they came full circle with a transatlantic re-recording of
their very first record, "Yesterday's Gone", released as a bonus track on Chad & Jeremy In Concert, the first release of their 40th Anniversary year.
In the early months of 2003, the possibility of another full-fledged reunion
became a reality. In June 2003, Chad and Jeremy reunited in Provence, France to rehearse for upcoming live shows. The duo performed in Cleveland, Ohio on August 12th, as a part of
a British Invasion concert being filmed for broadcast on PBS. They sounded as if the 17 years since their last reunion had been only 17 weeks.
Since 2004 live shows have become an annual tradition, with a new 'concert only' CDs released for concert-going fans for each tour. In September of 2003, the duo began recording on their first studio album in more than 20 years, while finally rereleasing that last studio album from 1983 on Electric Paintbox. Recording continues on the mammoth album project, as
Chad and Jeremy continue to tour the United States and beyond. During the 'off season' from touring, Jeremy continues to feature in plays and television roles in the UK, while Chad continues to work and record in Idaho.
A DVD is planned of their live show, and work is now progressing on Caswell Cooke Productions' The Chad & Jeremy Story documentary film.
Chad and Jeremy have come full circle.
In the 1960s, they were thrilling audiences all over the world, and the duo is doing the same more than 40 years later. Whether on stage, on record, or through archival releases of unheard material,
you can be sure that Chad and Jeremy have a lot more to say.
