Little River Band Plays Cape Cod's Melody Tent

BARNSTABLE, MA — Little River Band, the Australian rockers who've been making successful albums and touring since the 1970s, will make a stop at the Melody Tent in Barnstable on Friday.

The group released a number of multi-platinum albums through the 1970s and 80s, with hits including “Reminiscing”, “Cool Change” and “Lonesome Loser”.

According to the band, worldwide album sales now top 30 million. The peak of their run happened in 1982, when they became the first band to have a top 10 hit for six consecutive years.

The current lineup up of the band consists of these musicians, their website says:

• "Keyboardist Chris Marion is a Dove Award winning producer. Chris is the creator of all the orchestral arrangements and charts on The Big Box."
• "Nashville Singer-Songwriter and Guitarist Bruce Wallace plays rhythm guitar and adds a new layer to the vocal harmonies. The addition of Bruce to the line-up has added to the energy of the already highly energized LRB."
• "Drummer Ryan Ricks has locked down the rhythm section, and rounds out the vocals with his incredible range. Great singing drummers are rare…and LRB is lucky to have Ryan as part of that all-important vocal blend."
• "Nashville Guitarist Colin Whinnery plays rhythm and lead guitar, and shares lead vocal duties with Wayne. He brings a brand new voice and a fresh outlook to the rhythm section."

The show starts at 8 p.m., with doors opening at 7 p.m. Tickets are currently on sale, starting at $38.
