“Glenn Shorrock has made sure the LRB’s music stays in the limelight and so good to hear him singing these old songs again. If you didn’t know better you would think this album was recorded back in the LRB’s 70’s heyday, as the instruments and production have that 70s era sound.” – JASON RITCHIE (GET READY TO ROCK)
“The other thing, one cannot help but notice, is that Shorrock sounds as good as ever on his new album. He has not lost any of his voice.” – AARON BADGLEY (SPILL MAGAZINE)

Glenn Shorrock Sings Little River Band is out now through Social Family Records and available in-store and online, as Shorrock prepares to head out on tour again on a run of shows commencing in Byron Bay on March 14.
Featuring ten of LRB’s greatest hits, brilliantly re-imagined by Shorrock, the album was produced and recorded live in studio by Steve Balbi, the mastermind behind the project, bringing together an array of musical talent to work on the recording.
Joining Shorrock in the studio included musicians, Pete Drummond (drums), Jak Housden (guitar 1), James Van Cooper (guitar 2), Dario Bortolin (bass), Robbie Woolf (keys), Glenn Cunningham (bv’s), Hugh Wilson (bv’s), Phil Stack (upright bass on Reminiscing), Mitchell Rogers (lap steel), and Ross Middleton (sax). The album was mixed by Tony Wall, engineered by Ted Howard and mastered by Paul Gomersall.
A living legend, with a career spanning more than 50 years, Glenn Shorrock is revered as 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 LRB 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 in the USA, where LRB shifted the bulk of its 25 million-plus career album sales.

About
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, fans can catch Glenn at a run shows later that month and further into 2019. He’s certainly not ready to slow down yet!
