Info
Halifax- Casino Nova Scotia is thrilled to have world renowned band Loverboy perform live in the Schooner Showroom. Loverboy performs shows on Friday, February 8 and Saturday, February 9 at 8PM.
Loverboy’s inception began in Calgary, Canada, when Mike Reno was introduced to Paul Dean at The Refinery Night Club. Over the next few weeks, Dean and Reno began writing songs on guitar and drums. Doug Johnson who at the time was in another Canadian recording band began to hang out and jam with Dean and Reno. It was during one of those jam sessions with Reno on drums and Dean on bass that Turn Me Loose and Loverboy was born.
In 1980 Loverboy signed with Columbia Records Canada. On March the 20th, Loverboy went into the studio with producer Bruce Fairbairn and engineer Bob Rock to record their self-titled debut album -- Loverboy. The summer of 1980 saw the record fly out of the stores setting record sales for a debut album -- over 700,000 records in Canada. Loverboy’s debut album went on to sell more than 2 million albums in the U.S. and 4 million worldwide.
Soon the band found themselves playing on mega tours with Journey, Bob Seger, Cheap Trick, ZZ Top, Kansas and Def Leppard. Between dates the band wrote and recorded their second multi-platinum selling album. In 1981, Get Lucky was released. It featured Working For The Weekend, When It’s Over, Take Me To The Top, Only The Lucky Ones, Jump, etc. Get Lucky led Loverboy in 1982, to an unprecedented six Juno Awards, Canada’s highest music award. This record still stands today.
Loverboy celebrated 25 years together in 2005 by performing in selected cities throughout the US and Canada to mark this milestone.
