Glenn Shorrock revisits Little River Band hits on new album in March

With a career spanning more than 50 years, GLENN SHORROCK is one of the elder statesmen of Australian contemporary show business and has the unusual distinction of having been inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame on two occasions, both as a member of Little River Band and as a solo artist.

The founding frontman of The Twilights, Axiom and ‘70s hitmakers Little River Band (later known as LRB), Shorrock carved out astonishing success around the globe, particularly here in the USA, where LRB shifted the bulk of its 25 million-plus career album sales.

Moving forward, 2019 sees the release of his latest solo album, Glenn Shorrock Sings Little River Band, produced and recorded live in the studio by producer and artist, Steve Balbi, at Rancom St. Studio and The Engine Room in Sydney, Australia.

Out through Australian indie label, Social Family Records, the album is set for release on March 8 and available for pre-order now. It features 10 of Shorrock’s favourite LRB hits, including first single and instant grat track, "The Night Owls," penned by long-time friend, Graeham Goble. The second instant grat track "It's A Long Way There" has been released.

Born in Kent, England, Glenn migrated with his family at the age of 10 to Adelaide in the mid-1950s. A self-confessed child of rock ‘n’ roll, he began singing in 1962.

At the end of 1974, Glenn helped form Little River Band as lead singer. Managed by long-time friend, Glenn Wheatley, Little River Band cracked the lucrative United States market in 1976 and began a string of eight Top Ten hits there and around the world, and often been credited for opening the door for many Australian acts on the international circuit. In 1995, Glenn fronted Little River Band during their 20th year anniversary, three and a half-month tour of the United States.

Fast forward to 2016 and the acclaimed singer/songwriter returned with a collection of songs composed by himself and friends, old and new, offering a mix of folk-rock and easy listening tracks with his solo album, Rise Again, also released through Social Family Records and available on CD and digital platforms.

Although now in his 70s, Glenn continues to tour constantly, with 2018 seeing the June release of his autobiography, Now, Where Was I? about his career with the Twilights, Axiom and Little River Band and back again. With the new solo album out on March 8, 2019, he’s certainly not ready to slow down.
