Air Supply filled the Event Center at Twin River Casino last week with a powerhouse show that had over 3,000 fans on their feet begging for more.

I’ve been covering concerts since the mid-’70s and count the team of Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock as one of my all-time favorites. From seeing them a couple of times at the Warwick Musical Theatre to traveling to Six Flags for a concert to my second concert at Twin River, I get caught up in their enthusiastic approach to pleasing their loyal fans.

They have been singing together for 40 years, since first meeting at a performance of “Jesus Christ Superstar” in Australia, and they sound as good today as they did when they had seven Top Five singles back in the 70’s, including the song of the year in 1980, “Lost in Love.”

Graham and Russell are not slowing down a bit. From Rhode Island, they head to Malaysia, Philippines and China before returning to the USA for an extensive tour.

Hitchcock, the Australian, has a powerful tenor voice that shines on such Golden Oldies as “The One I Love,” “All Out of Love” and “Making Love Out of Nothing at All.” Russell has an outstanding softer voice and is a prolific songwriter.

Hopefully, they will be back at Twin River again next year. Don’t miss them

If you are into nostalgia, you won’t want to miss Kool and the Gang on January 16 and the OJays on February 12. Further concerts will feature Hugo, Grand Funk Railroad, America and some good tribute bands.

The venue holds about 3,200 seats at floor level with a raised stage. Refreshments are available, and you may wish to try your luck in the casino before or after the show. There are also a number of fine restaurants and a food court for something quick and inexpensive. And for those with big appetites, you can’t miss with the buffet.

There’s plenty of free and handicapped parking. Most concert tickets run $45 to $75.
