Frank Murphy interviews Russell Hitchcock of the band Air Supply on today’s episode. Air Supply will perform at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center in Greeneville, Tennessee on Sunday, August 28, 2022. Any remaining tickets can be purchased at https://www.npacgreeneville.com/events/airsupply Air Supply’s website is https://airsupplymusic.com
Air Supply will soon release a new single called “Be Tough.” They recorded it in a new Los Angeles studio that houses musical instruments and mixing boards used by members of the Rolling Stones and the Beatles.
Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell met on May 12, 1975, which was the first day of rehearsals for a production of Jesus Christ Superstar in Sydney, Australia. Frank asks Russell which tenor roles he portrayed. Russell started in the chorus and became an understudy for Jesus, Judas, and Annas. He played Judas several times but played Jesus only once. The producer thought he had the wrong hair for the role.
Frank has seen Air Supply in concert three times. They had a sold-out show at the Tennessee Valley Fair on September 5, 2014. They performed at the Children’s Miracle Network Celebration on April 2, 2007.
In 1995, Frank met with Russell and Graham to ask them to perform at a KROQ Singles Party for “losers” on Valentine’s Day at an Elks Lodge in Santa Ana, California. Jimmy Kimmel arranged for a terrible comedian to be their opening act. The audience was also treated to macaroni and cheese, served buffet style.
Russell’s favorite Air Supply song is “All Out of Love,” which has become their anthem. “Lost in Love” is his second favorite.
