Glenn Shorrock, best known as lead singer of the Little River Band, has announced a series of acoustic tour dates throughout this January heading to Byron Bay, Gold Coast, Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast a range of solo hits and the hits from the Little River Band.

Born in 1944, Shorrock relocated to South Australia from Chatham, England, where he shot to fame as the co-lead singer of popular 60's band The Twilights having had a string of hits including Needle In A Haystack, and their definitive cover of The Hollies' What's Wrong With The I Live.

After the Twilights split in 1969, Shorrock moved on to have moderate success with Axiom with their hit Little Ray of Sunshine still one of the most played songs on Australian radio, before they disbanded in 1971.

In 1975, Shorrock co-founded and fronted Australian super group, the Little River Band having been the first Australian rock group to enjoy sustained commercial success in the United States with over twenty-five million records sold and having notched up thirteen American top 40 hits under their belts including.

From 1978 until 1981, Little River Band achieved six consecutive US Top 10 singles with Reminiscing (#3, their biggest hit), Lady (#10), Lonesome Loser (#6), Cool Change (#10), The Night Owls (#6) and Take It Easy on Me (#10).

The first release from the 1977 album "Diamantina Cocktail" (CERTIFIED GOLD) was also their first hit, "Help is On Its Way," and was followed by two more hits, "Happy Anniversary" and "Home on Monday." The next album, "Sleeper Catcher"(CERTIFIED PLATINUM) also produced mega hits for the Aussie band, including "Lady" and "Reminiscing," in 1978. This album release really put Little River Band on the music maps and opened up doors for other Australian artists.

In 1979 Little River Band released another "First Under the Wire" (CERTIFIED PLATINUM) which produced the hits "Lonesome Loser" and "Cool Change". By this time, Glenn Shorrock was a well-respected vocalist and songwriter, responsible for many of the Little River Band hits. 1981 brought the release of "Time Exposure" (CERTIFIED GOLD) which featured hits "Man on Your Mind," "Take it Easy on Me", and "Night Owls."

It was also at this time that Glenn chose to leave the band and produced a solo record, "Villain of the Peace", which produced the single "Don't Girls Get Lonely" which saw Shorrock inducted in to the Australian Recording Industry Association's Hall Of Fame in 1991.

Glenn rejoined Little River Band briefly, and was featured on the albums "Monsoon", "Get Lucky", and "Worldwide Love" before releasing a Greatest Hits album in July of 1992 which was certified Multi-Platinum.

In 1996, EMI Australia released a compilation CD called "Glenn Shorrock The First 20 Years" which featured music from Glenn's former days with Little River Band, as well as his early works with The Twilights, Axiom, and other Australian artists. Glenn released his second solo album, "Spin Me 'Round" in 2000, even recording a song by a little known songwriter named Keith Urban. Glenn has also recorded two albums with friend and fellow band-mate Brian Cadd.

In 2004, Glenn was again inducted in to the ARIA Hall Of Fame, this time as a member of Little River Band.
