On Saturday May 16th, 2015, Little River Band will be bringing their special vocal blend to the stage at the Ameristar Casino and Hotel.

Little River Band was formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1975.  It was originally a blend of musicians who had enjoyed success in other Australian rock acts. Their new focus was to get airplay on American radio, and they achieved that goal with good songwriting, powerful vocals, and guitar harmonies.

They immediately claimed their place as one of the great vocal bands of the ‘70s…and the ‘80s.  Between 1976 and 1983, chart success in America included:

It’s a Long Way There
Help Is on Its Way
Happy Anniversary
Reminiscing
Lady
Cool Change
Lonesome Loser
The Night Owls
Take It Easy On Me
Man On Your Mind
We Two
The Other Guy.

Worldwide album and CD sales now top 30 million. They also set a record for having Top 10 hits for 6 consecutive years…the first band to achieve that mark. And according to BMI, Reminiscing has garnered rare status with over 5 million airplays on America radio.

Little River Band was inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association Hall of Fame at the 18th Annual ARIA Music Awards of 2004.
