Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock met at rehearsals in 1975 for "Jesus Christ Superstar" and bonded immediately over their common love of the Beatles and their own passion for singing. They discovered that together they produced a unique sound that has been admired for more than 40 years. Graham, a prolific writer and singer, created music designed for Hitchcock's signature tenor voice. The result was Air Supply, and it wasn't long before the duo began supplying power ballads that became the soundtrack for many real life romances.
It didn't take them long to amass massive radio play and earn an international audience with music that remains memorable across the generations. Their love songs are infused with romance and harmony and include "Lost in Love," "All Out of Love," "Every Woman in the World," "The One That You Love," "Even the Nights are Better," "Here I Am," "Two Less Lonely People in the World," "Making Love Out of Nothing at All" and "Sweet Dreams."
As popular as their recordings became, however, it is their live performances that have captivated audiences from the beginning. They have toured worldwide, and their concert tour that celebrated 30 years together brought huge audiences, including a show in Cuba that drew 175,000 people. Clearly, they still supply audiences with a breath of fresh air.
