These Rhode Island rockers roared onto the music scene in 1980 with two hit singles, “Wild Summer Nights” and “Tender Years”. It wasn’t until they were asked to record the soundtrack to the movie Eddie & the Cruisers that they found international success. The soundtrack album contained the hit song “On The Dark Side”. Though the movie never became a blockbuster hit, it enjoyed a resurgence once HBO began showing it in heavy rotation. Cafferty went on to supply songs for more movies including Cobra, Rocky IV and Something About Mary. In early 2023 they announced that a new album is coming soon. Get ready to rock with these Rhode Island legends as they make a triumphant return in 2023 with a brand-new album, continuing their epic musical journey that started in 1980!

In 1970, Joe Cocker embarked on a tour of the US, calling the show ‘Mad Dogs and Englishmen.’ Leon Russell was the band leader, and the tour was such a success that it resulted in an album and a film. The album went to #1 on the Billboard World Chart, and spawned iconic hits such as “A Little Help From My Friends”, “The Letter”, and “Feelin’ Alright”. The tour, album, and film helped to cement Joe Cocker and Leon Russell’s place in American rock history.
