TULSA, Okla. — With more than 35 million album sales and downloads globally, soft rock powerhouse Little River Band is heading to Hard Rock Live inside Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa on Friday, June 27, at 8 p.m.
Praised by the late Eagles founding member Glenn Frey as "the best singing band in the world," Little River Band has left an indelible mark on the music industry. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, they achieved international stardom with multiplatinum albums and an impressive roster of hits, including "Cool Change," "The Night Owls," "Happy Anniversary," "Reminiscing," "Lonesome Loser," "Take It Easy on Me," "Help Is on Its Way," "We Two," "Man on Your Mind," "The Other Guy" and "It's a Long Way There."
With more than 35 million album sales, CD sales and digital downloads globally, Little River Band was the first group to score Top 10 hits for six consecutive years. The classic song "Reminiscing" has surpassed 5 million airplays on American radio, with "Lady" reaching more than 4 million.
Since joining in 1980, bassist and lead vocalist Wayne Nelson has played a pivotal role in shaping the band’s signature sound. Under the production of legendary Beatles producer Sir George Martin, Nelson provided lead vocals on two of the band’s biggest hits, "The Night Owls" and "Take It Easy on Me." Later, guitarist Stephen Housden brought a rock-driven edge to the band's sound, further solidifying its place in rock history. Together, Nelson and Housden have helped the band transition through the decades while maintaining their signature harmonies and timeless appeal.
Today’s Little River Band lineup continues to impress with exceptional musical talent. Keyboardist Chris Marion, a Dove Award-winning producer, brings expertise in orchestration and arrangement. Drummer Ryan Ricks strengthens the band's signature harmonies while locking in the rhythm section. Lead guitarist and vocalist Colin Whinnery injects new energy into the group, while rhythm guitarist Bruce Wallace adds depth to their vocal arrangements.
Still selling out venues across the country, Little River Band remains a powerhouse, continuing its legacy as one of the most enduring and beloved bands in rock history.
