RICHARD MARX with special guest JOHN WAITE

About

2023 marks Richard Marx’s thirty-sixth year as a recording artist, and his thirty-ninth as a professional songwriter. On September 30th, 2022 Marx released his unique and ambitious new album, simply and appropriately titled Songwriter. 

Richard 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,” which earned him a Grammy® nomination for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. 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.

John Waite will be performing his catalogue of hits from his 40-year career as a solo artist and with The Babys and Bad English. Waite’s catalogue of hits features some of the most loved songs of the 80s and 90s – the #1 Worldwide hit "Missing You," The Babys' "Isn't It Time" and Bad English's "When I See You Smile" rank amongst some of his biggest international hits and are still heard on radio today. Others include "Tears," "Change" and "These Times Are Hard For Lovers." "Every Step Of The Way" and "If Anybody Had A Heart" appeared on the soundtrack to the 1986 Demi Moore film About Last Night. "Deal for Life," penned by Martin Page and Bernie Taupin, was featured in the Days Of Thunder soundtrack.

Please note: the San Diego Symphony Orchestra does not appear on this program.
