Little River Band At Opera House

Don’t call the Little River Band’s concert at the Opera House on Tuesday a comeback.

The country-rock troupe, though away from the spotlight, has never disbanded and has been touring the country almost every year. Just last year, the Little River Band joined America for a concert at Playfair Race Course.

The Little River Band, which formed in Melbourne, Australia, is mostly known for its work in the mid-‘70s and early ‘80s. They produced a string of Top 10 hits, including “Reminiscing,” “Lonesome Loser,” “Cool Change,” “Take it Easy on Me,” “Lady” and “Night Owls.”

Although the band has stayed prolific throughout the years, they haven’t had a commercial success in a long time.

In 1994, Rhino Records, a label famous for issuing box sets and re-issuing out-of-print albums by middling bands, released a 20th anniversary collection called “Reminiscing.”

To date three of the band’s albums have gone platinum (1 million sold) and two have sold gold (500,000).

The concert starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $14 in advance, available at G&B Select-a-Seat outlets or call 325-SEAT, and $16 at the door.
