AIR SUPPLY RETURNS TO THE STATES FOR FOURTH OF JULY SHOW AT THE BEAUMONT CHERRY FESTIVAL IN RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA AND ANNOUNCES MORE 2009 TOUR DATES
80s Hitmaking Duo of Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock Will Be Releasing Their Indie Projects ‘Free Love’ (July 14) and ‘Singer And The Song’ (September 15) On Odds On Records
After a typically jam packed exotic spring touring everywhere from Australia to Central America and Asia (Hong Kong, Tapei, Singapore), Air Supply (www.airsupplymusic.com) is coming home to America for Independence Day.
The 80s hit making duo of Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock are set to perform July 4 at the Beaumont Cherry Festival in Riverside, California. Later in July, they will be playing at the Hard Rock Hotel in Biloxi, Mississippi (July 10-11) and the Sandy Amphitheatre in Sandy, Utah (July 31).
Earlier this year, they signed a label deal with Las Vegas based independent label, Odds On Records. Distributed by E1 Music (formerly Koch) and headed by former Warner Bros. marketing and promotion executive Ted Joseph, the full-service company (www.oddsonrecordings.com) plans to release a new Air Supply studio album in 2010.
The timing of their first commercial release in nearly a decade coincides perfectly with the group’s 35th anniversary next year.
Not that the world ever stopped celebrating the soft rock gurus of romance. Over two decades after dominating the pop charts with romantic perennials like “All Out of Love,” “The One That You Love,” “Lost In Love” and “Making Love Out of Nothing At All,” Russell and Hitchcock have never been more popular, averaging 120-140 concerts annually.
Odds On has also licensed two indie Air Supply projects, and Free Love, which is scheduled for a July 14 release, and Singer and the Song, which is set for September 15. The albums were previously sold at Air Supply shows and on the duo’s website.
