Russell Hitchcock's

Some of you may remember Don Cromwell from his time as Air Supply’s bass player. Hope you’re enjoying his work on the “Take Time” CD

Hey Everyone!

Here we are in Lincoln City in Oregon, on the ocean, a truly beautiful place. The weather is not so good, but even so, the waves crashing on the shore under grey windy skies is awesome. We played a concert last night at the Chinook Winds Casino here and after another concert tonight, we all head home for a few days before traveling to Las Vegas for our weekend at The Suncoast Hotel. After the show here last night Mike Zerbe our drummer, Russ Letizia our guitarist and Jeremy Cornwall our Front of House sound engineer ( played bass ), sat in with the house band and really sounded fantastic!

Our recent trip to Japan was great. Having played there for over twenty five years now, it is still a thrill to go back. It is a beautiful country with some of the nicest fans in the world.

Our year is gearing up fully now and we will be out of the country for many of our shows. Please check out our tour dates as we may be visiting YOUR country and we’d love to see you! I am jazzed about playing Australia especially, as it has been nine years since we were there last and also because it is my homeland and I will get the chance to see my family again. Incidentally, the picture of the house on my SNAPSHOTS page is the house where I spent the first seven years of my life

I hope this note finds you all healthy and happy!

As Always

Lots of Love

Russell

Hi Everyone

We arrived in Tokyo, after a twelve hour flight from Los Angeles and a two hour drive to the hotel. It’s a pleasure to be back here again as over the years we’ve played Japan many times and have many fans here. We have a couple of nights in Tokyo, then on to Fukuoka and Osaka before heading home on the 17th. A number of members of our touring party have never been here before; it was fun to see the expressions on their faces as we drove in to the city.

We had some great shows in the United States before we left, playing the Nokia Theatre in New York City, the Hilton in Atlantic City, and also recording “Artist Confidential” at the Sirius Studios in New York before an invited audience of Air Supply fans, an interview program interspersed with acoustic performances from Graham and I. For those of you who subscribe to Sirius, I think you’ll find it very interesting, so keep an “ear” out for it!

On return to the U.S. I will be doing some work on our newest CD with Graham at his studio before we travel to Oregon for our next concerts.

I am currently working on a T-shirt for you which should be available in the next couple of weeks. So now you will not only be able to listen to “Take Time” … you’ll be able to wear it !

Finally, there are several websites that have my name attached to them or purport to BE me. With the exception of the Air Supply website, Now and Forever and this website, there are no other sites that provide authentic information concerning myself nor do I approve any of them. So please don’t be fooled!

AS Always

Lots of Love

Russell
