Nearly 30 years after Air Supply (www.airsupplymusic.com) first charmed the world with their ultra-romantic hit parade ("All Out Of Love," "Lost In Love," "The One That You Love," "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All," etc), Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock are gearing up for their most exciting year ever in 2009!
The 80s hitmaking duo launches their
quickly filling calendar with a special performance on Saturday, January 10 at the 18th Anniversary Stars to the Rescue Gala in Walnut Creek, California. The event, an annual benefit for St. Louis Cardinal Manager Tony La Russa's Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF), will be held at the Lesher Center For The Arts and is scheduled to feature appearances by Chris Isaak, Tony Orlando and Billy Bob Thornton.
Created by La Russa and his wife Elaine in 1991, ARF (www.arf.net) saves dogs and cats that have run out of time at public shelters and brings people and animals together to enrich each other's lives. ARF strives to create a world where every loving dog and cat has a home, where every lonely person has a companion animal, and where children learn to care.
Following this appearance, Air Supply will hit the road for numerous concerts throughout the U.S. in winter and spring before performing in May in Sydney, Australia, where Russell and Hitchcock first met as members of the cast of "Jesus Christ Superstar" in 1975.
The duo finished an incredible 2008 with a special December 19 appearance on the Fox TV hit "Don't Forget The Lyrics, hosted by singer and comic Wayne Brady. In the episode, Russell and Hitchcock surprised a pair of contestants as well as Air Supply fans, who were also on a blind date, with a live performance of their hit song "Lost In Love.?
The rest of 2008 was filled with many other highlights and some all-time Air Supply firsts. Beyond their always exhilarating shows, their latest jaunt overseas (from early June through mid-July) had its share of transcendent, once in a lifetime moments. They had dinner with former Philippines First Lady Imelda Marcos and performed for the King and Queen of Malaysia.
