NEWSLETTER – MARCH 2024

Hello Friends and Fans

LRB is on the road again. We have a dozen shows under our belts as we head South for Spring Break!! With 9 shows in Florida, and a return visit to the On The Blue Cruise in early April…we should get our share of Vitamin D in the next 6 weeks.

We have some very exciting news to share with you…March will see the release of our new recording project…Window To The World. The songs are written and cut…matter of fact, 2 new ones have been added to the live show and are going over extremely well. Because we couldn’t have said it better ourselves, I’m going to share one fan’s quote that we got after last weekend’s shows…

You and your fellow band mates have changed the way we will feel at all concerts of our favorite musicians from now on. We have always joked that the last thing you want to hear from one of your favorite bands from your youth is, “Now we are going to play some of our new music.” Well, your new music was excellent and gave such a perfect nod to the beloved LRB style that we were almost fooled into thinking they must have been some deep tracks we missed along the way. Seriously. I spent a good hour searching for them when I returned home from the concert. Hats off to all of you. Well done.
As mentioned in the November, 2023 newsletter, ColinWhinnery took the helm as producer of Window. The musicianship and recording quality is superb, the vocals are stellar, and there are a couple surprise guests appearing with us.

The music world is very different now when it comes to releasing new songs. So be ready to hear about downloads and streams of a few “singles” from the project. We’re wrapping up all the preliminaries for that new arena for LRB. We will be manufacturing CDs and Vinyl, but the digital forms of the project are going to come out first. If any of those happen to catch fire, we might even get back on the radio. WooHoo.

Regardless of the format where you will want to hear the music, Window is a great collection of fun and heartfelt songs…love and shared heartache.. grown up stuff filled with optimism. If you like to hear new songs and let your mind create the scenery, you’re gonna love Window To The World.

So we’ll see you soon somewhere in your state…we hope!

Take Care
LRB and Crew

NEWSLETTER – NOVEMBER 2023

Hello Friends and Fans

Thank you for your continued support for Little River Band, and for your interest in what we’re doing…and where we’re going.

2023 has been a very busy year. We’ve gone coast to coast 3 times to do 70 shows – and put close to 60,000 miles on our bus to get there and back. We even got up to Alaska for their State Fair in September (had to fly that one!).

There have been highlights all along the way. But from within the LRB family, two really stand out. In August, Wayne’s 16 year old grandson joined us in San Diego…played bass and sang a song he wrote with LRB backing him. And in September, Colin’s 10 year old daughter sang a Taylor Swift song with him accompanying on acoustic gtr. Both were show stoppers with standing ovations. In both cases…it’s in the blood.

In between all those travel dates, we’re happy to announce some new music was recorded. The title of the project is Window To The World. It will be available on CD, vinyl, and of course, to stream or download from your favorite music provider.

Colin Whinnery took the reins as the producer for the project. Vocals, guitars, and keyboards were added everywhere from Nashville studios to hotel rooms. (Chris Marion is a genius at turning a hotel room into a soundproof vocal booth!) And our newest bandmate, Bruce Wallace, gathered some of his most successful songwriter buddies to create a batch of great new songs.

We’ll be putting out more details about the new “record” in the December newsletter. So keep an eye out for Window To The World!

And on we go with the last 4 shows of 2023. IA, KS, MI, and NY…brrr! Hope to see you out there somewhere. 2024 is filling in very nicely. Our full schedule can be viewed at
