Russell Hitchcock's

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

“The CD’s arrived today way up here in Canada. Both of them are in mint condition and took about 8 days from when you shipped them. Thanks so much! “Take Time” sounds amazing. Russells voice on “Beside Myself” is out of this world. Tell Russell to make another solo album one day and we will be waiting to buy it.”
Thanks, M.

“PS. Love the CD. It is GREAT but then again so is Russell. I haven’t had the opportunities I used to in years past, to see AS in concert. My heart and love are still with them. Sydney has a wonderful voice. Russell must be very proud.”

Thank you so much for the CD. It arrived this morning safe and sound (and not too wet either - weather pretty awful here!)

Hi Everyone !

I am in Southern California as Air Supply is performing with The Pacific Symphony. We had a great show last night, the first of three before we fly to Arizona on Sunday.

I wanted to thank you all for your support of my CD ” Take Time “ We have had wonderful response since we opened the store on January 27th. People from as far away as Norway, Greece, Japan, Brazil and Indonesia and many more have received their CD’s or are in the process of.

This blog thing is new to me so be patient with me! Enjoy the website and I will talk to you soon

Lots of Love

Russell
