Long established as Europe’s most successful ever exponents of retro-inspired rock & roll, SHOWADDYWADDY’s record of achievements spanning 5 decades truly sets them apart from their contemporaries and their peers.
The band’s extraordinary voyage began back in 1973, when courtesy of an impromptu ‘jam session,’ the original eight man lineup chanced upon an instant musical chemistry, the likes of which immediately grabbed the small audience’s attention, perhaps suggestive of things yet to come.
In the next decade a staggering 23 Top 40 hit singles followed, including Top 5 hits: “Under The Moon of Love,” “When,” “You Got What It Takes,” “3 Steps To Heaven,” and “Hey Rock & Roll,” to name but a few, which eclipsing all expectations went on to grace the charts in more than thirty territories.
As if the list of accomplishments across five decades were not enough, 2024 seems destined to be one of the most memorable years on record, with a massive 100 plus date tour confirmed to mark the band’s 50th anniversary, commemorated moreover by a career-spanning ‘Anthology’ featuring classic recordings, previously unreleased tracks, remixes and historic live performances. This lavish, one-off collector’s edition is currently available from online outlets.
Their place amongst the rock ‘n’ roll elite long cemented, the band’s unique credentials and versatility remain without question – concerts, corporate conventions, festivals, universities, colleges, clubs & private functions the world over still clamor to book this remarkable live show, thus providing proof that after 50 sensational years, rock & roll music is truly alive and kicking in the hands of the legendary ‘SHOWADDYWADDY’.
