Interview with Graham Russell of Air Supply

Graham Russell, along with Russell Hitchcock, formed Air Supply more than 45 years ago, and recently released their latest album, THE LOST IN LOVE EXPERIENCE, an amazing compilation of their greatest songs performed live, including “The One That You Love”, “Here I am”, “Without You”, “Sweet Dreams” and many more. In this episode Graham discusses their incredible journey from how he & Russell first met and went on to write amazing chart-topping songs.  Graham also discusses their incredible stage performances and even shares one of his inspirational poems. 

It all began in '75
Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock met on May 12, 1975, on the first day of rehearsals for the Australian production of Jesus Christ Superstar in Sydney. They became instant friends who shared much in common, including their love of The Beatles whom they’d both seen in 1964 in England and Australia respectively.

In January 2020, the Australian newspaper, the Herald Sun, proclaimed Air Supply in the Top 5 of ”Greatest Aussie Bands” of all time in the company of AC/DC, The Bee Gees and INXS.

For Valentine’s Day, they were profiled for an In-depth interview for CBS Sunday Morning.

In this 45th anniversary year, the duo continues to tour the world, having performed in England, Ireland, Israel, the Philippines, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Canada and many other countries, of course including their home, the United States.

The trademark sound of Russell Hitchcock’s soaring tenor voice and Graham Russell’s simple but majestic compositions created a unique sound that would be forever known as Air Supply.
