DENNIS LOCORRIERE

Event information

DENNIS LOCORRIERE ( Low - Corri – Air )

Time was when you had to say The Voice Of Dr Hook here before people would recognize the name and realize but now things have changed . Ask the ecstatic crowd from the first British Acoustic Festival. He has now played to over 1,000,000 people in the UK alone on his own tours.

His second solo album One Of The Lucky Ones was released in 2005, the same year he played the main stage at Glastonbury ( successfully following The English National Opera ) to rave reviews whilst his live DVD Alone With Dennis Locorriere was warmly welcomed both here and in the USA and his live triple CD box set Live In Liverpool release firmly established itself as a strong seller..

DENNIS LOCORRIERE , without reservation still has one of the finest voices ever … and that’s 26 years after the group he sang for decided to call it a day.

And the group…..that happy but edgy band who clocked up hit after pop hit….the one and only, mega-successful, DR HOOK. Dennis Locorriere was the VOICE of Dr Hook - The Lead Singer on all those hit records and beautiful songs. As one of the biggest bands across the world in the seventies and early eighties, Dr Hook’s plaudits are impressive. His voice has now graced sales of more than 50 million records and he was the only member of Dr Hook involved with every record they released.

But Dr Hook is only really the early part of Dennis’ story because for more than 30 years he’s paid his dues. He’s appeared in a major movie with Dustin Hoffman. He’s starred at New York’s prestigious Lincoln Center in a universally acclaimed one man play The Devil And Billy Markham written by Shel Silverstein especially for him. He’s written songs that have been recorded by a wide variety of other artists including Bob Dylan, Southside Johnny, Crystal Gayle, BJ Thomas, Olivia Newton-John, Waylon Jennings, Helen Reddy and Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton & Loretta Lynne.

In 1999, some 15 years after he moved to Nashville and disbanded the group, Dennis secured yet another platinum album for the Dr Hook Love Songs CD. This was accompanied by a major sell-out tours in the UK, Europe and Australia.

Late in 2001 Dennis played several solo UK shows which were recorded for a triple live CD/DVD box set Live In Liverpool . previously having released his first solo album Out Of The Dark in 2000 and he had won new audiences on a major UK tour. In addition, to coincide with his touring activities, a special numbered limited edition of Live In Liverpool was made available aptly titled Alone With Dennis Locorriere.

Dennis Locorriere has always been an artist who is truly, once seen never forgotten. His shows have always encompassed his own Solo hits and the group’s greatest hits and keeping up momentum his second solo CD, “One Of The Lucky Ones” was released in 2005 on the Track records label and he toured and performed in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and Europe with this album.
