GREENEVILLE, Tenn – Richard Marx presents an intimate acoustic set of his love song hits – “Right Here Waiting for You,” “Endless Summer Nights,” “Hold On To The Nights,” “Now & Forever,” “Straight from My Heart” and more, on Saturday, March 26 at 7:30 PM.
As a performer, songwriter and producer, Richard Marx’s nearly three-decade-long career has had innumerable highlights. The Chicago native has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, starting with his self-titled debut which went to #8 and spawned four Top 5 singles, including the chart-topping “Hold On To The Nights,” with “Don’t Mean Nothing” earning him a Grammy nomination for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. The follow-up, 1989’s Repeat Offender, was even more successful, hitting #1 and going quadruple-platinum with two #1 singles in “Satisfied” and “Right Here Waiting.” When both Rush Street (with two #1 AC hits in “Keep Coming Back” and “Hazard”) and Paid Vacation (with its #1 AC hit, “Now and Forever”) went platinum, Marx achieved a seven-year string of triumphs that rivaled any in pop-rock music history. To this day, he is the only male artist in history to have his first seven singles reach the Top 5 on the Billboard charts.
Marx’s latest album, Limitless, is his first album of original songs in six years. Produced in part by Marx and featuring co-writes with Sara Bareilles, Richard’s son Lucas Marx and his wife, Daisy Fuentes, Limitless represents a new beginning for the celebrated singer-songwriter. While his last album Beautiful Goodbye closed the book on one chapter of his life, Limitless opens a new one. After falling back in love, remarrying and settling into a new home in LA, “I’ve never felt so intrinsically strong and optimistic about my future,” Marx says, and the bright, heartfelt pop of Limitless reflects that feeling.
