With over 30 million albums sold, Marx’s career started strong with his debut album and continued with 1989’s Repeat Offender, which went quadruple-platinum. Known as the only male artist whose first seven singles reached Billboard’s Top 5, he has also penned No. 1 songs for other artists over four decades. His writing credits span a star-studded roster, from Barbra Streisand to Luther Vandross, with whom he won the 2004 Grammy for Song of the Year with “Dance with My Father.” In 2020, he released Limitless, followed by his memoir, Stories to Tell, a national bestseller whose soundtrack also achieved commercial success.

An Acoustic Evening with Rick Springfield & Richard Marx

Ruth Eckerd Hall

Grab a can of hairspray and break out the spandex, the ’80s are back! It’s nonstop hits from some of the most radical stars of the decade. Rick Springfield’s sharp power-pop songs like “Don’t Talk to Strangers” and “Jessie’s Girl” shot up the charts, the latter all the way to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1981. Having already made hits like “Isn’t It Time” and “Every Time I Think of You” with The Babys, John Waite became a chart-topper himself with the tender “Missing You,” which was followed by the hit “Tears.” London new-wavers Wang Chung turned their name into a verb on the dance hit “Everybody Have Fun Tonight.” And Paul Young’s lovelorn “Everytime You Go Away” and “Come Back and Stay” kept hearts soaring. It’s a night full of bodacious faves and righteous good times. Don’t miss it!

Rick Springfield and Richard Marx are bringing their Acoustic Tour to the McCallum.  The two artists, who met in 1988 and have remained close ever since, will be performing all their hits!  Springfield’s remarkable career spans over four decades, and he has sold 25 million albums and delivered 17 U.S. Top 40 hits, including classics like “Jessie’s Girl” and “Don’t Talk to Strangers.” Beyond music, he’s made his mark as an accomplished actor in films like “Ricki and the Flash” and TV series like “Supernatural” and “American Horror Story.”  Marx has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, starting with his self-titled debut which went to No. 8 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. The album spawned four Top 5 singles, including “Hold on to the Nights” and “Don’t Mean Nothing.” His follow-up, 1989’s Repeat Offender, was even more successful, hitting No. 1 and going quadruple-platinum with two No. 1 singles, “Satisfied” and “Right Here Waiting.” He has since made history as the only male artist whose first seven singles reached the Top 5 on the Billboard charts.
