(NEWARK, NJ) -- New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) presents the Australian soft rock group Air Supply, a staple of early-80s radio, on Sunday, October 26, 2025 at 7:00pm. The band is celebrating their 50th anniversary, promising an unforgettable evening of timeless hits and heartfelt memories.
The duo of Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock has been serenading the world since the '70s. Their catalog of chart-topping hits is legendary: "Lost in Love," "Here I Am," "The One That You Love," "All Out of Love," "The Power of Love," and "Even the Nights Are Better."
With their heavily orchestrated, sweet ballads, Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock met on May 12, 1975, the first day of rehearsals for “Jesus Christ Superstar” in Sydney, Australia; they became instant friends with their shared love for The Beatles and, of course, singing.
The albums Lost in Love, The One That You Love, Now & Forever, and The Greatest Hits sold more than 20 million copies. “Lost in Love” was named Song of the Year in 1980 and, with the other singles, sold more than 10 million copies. The trademark sound of Russell Hitchcock’s soaring tenor voice and Graham Russell’s simple yet majestic songs created a unique sound that would forever be known as Air Supply.

"Reese Wynans, I came to know him when he joined Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble and then after Stevie Ray Vaughn was killed, he played with a lot of people but for the last few years he's primarily toured with Joe Bonamassa. He's an amazing keyboard player and a super guy. I didn't know him prior to working on this record but my friend Mark Prentice who produced it with me suggested we bring him in and it was a perfect call."
