Dosey Doe Coffee House presents Little River Band.

Little River Band was formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1975. The original members came from other successful Australian acts from the '60s and '70s...Glenn Shorrock from The Twilights and Axiom, Beeb Birtles from Zoot (with Rick Springfield) and Mississippi, Graham Goble and Derek Pellicci (also from the band Mississippi), Ric Formosa, and Roger McLachlan.

They found immediate success in Australia, but individual members had greater ambitions. Probably the most asked question of the band is about the origin of the name. On the way to the newly formed band's first performance in Victoria, Australia, they passed an exit sign for a small town called Little River. The suggestion was made that they should be called Little River Band for that night's performance...it stuck.

The pressures of success and constant touring took their toll on LRB and other members gradually left. Things have gotten very busy for Little River Band in the last few years. From 2006 to 2009, the band has performed over 350 live shows (almost 250,000 bus miles...that's ten times around the planet!).

The current lineup blends new energy and arrangements to the classic hits, making new memories for the audience out of each live performance. It's always fun to watch as people are swept up by the show's vitality and the volume of hits from LRB's history. You'll see plenty of people mouthing the words..."I love this song...I forgot it was one of Little River Band's hits!"
