Heat Up with Music This Winter
The Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati has unveiled an exciting winter lineup, featuring two standout performances that promise to captivate music lovers. Whether you're drawn to timeless soft rock melodies or the golden era of 90s country harmonies, these upcoming concerts offer something for everyone.
Celebrating Five Decades of Air Supply
On Saturday, February 8, at 8 PM, legendary soft rock duo Air Supply will take the stage to commemorate their remarkable 50th anniversary. The story of Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock is as legendary as their music, beginning in 1975 during rehearsals for the Australian production of Jesus Christ Superstar. That serendipitous meeting gave rise to a partnership that would gift the world hits like “Lost in Love,” “All Out of Love,” and “Making Love Out of Nothing at All.”
The Hard Rock Casino’s intimate venue provides the perfect setting to relive the magic of these classics, as the duo brings their signature blend of soaring vocals and heartfelt lyrics to Cincinnati. With eight top-five chart hits in the U.S., their songs remain staples of love and nostalgia, offering a poignant reflection on their illustrious journey.
The Frontmen Bring the Best of 90s Country
On Sunday, February 16, at 8 PM, The Frontmen—Richie McDonald (formerly of Lonestar), Larry Stewart (Restless Heart), and Tim Rushlow (formerly of Little Texas)—will showcase the harmonies that defined 90s country music. As individual artists, they contributed to shaping a golden era with hits like “Amazed,” “The Bluest Eyes in Texas,” and “God Blessed Texas.”
Now performing together as a supergroup, The Frontmen blend their rich vocal chemistry with both classic hits and new material, including songs from their self-titled album released in March 2024. For fans of storytelling through music, this concert offers a masterclass in harmonies and heartfelt lyrics, making it a can't-miss event.
Tickets for both concerts go on sale on December 6 at 10 AM via HardRockCasinoCincinnati.com and Ticketmaster.
