A Matter of Time Tour

Air Supply

Continuing to make musical history with every sold out performance around the world, legendary pop duo Air Supply is riding the wave of an eventful banner year in 2026, with concerts across North America, Australia, South America, Europe and Asia, a biopic in the works, an impending Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and–brace yourselves, devoted Airheads-A Matter of Time, their first studio album in 15 years. Graham Russell’s heartfelt and soul-piercing songwriting talents, along with his and Russell Hitchcock’s dynamic trademark vocals, are on emphatic display throughout the multi-faceted 11-track collection, due to drop digitally December 3, with the same release date for an exclusive special edition80’s style vinyl version. Released to coincide with Air Supply’s incredible 50thanniversary as a duo, A Matter of Time caps an historic career that compares to the Beatlesque feat of five consecutive Top Five Singles(“Lost in Love,” “All Out of Love,” “Every Woman in the World,” “The One That You Love,” “Here I Am”).During their early80’s run, they sold a collective total of 20 million copies of their first three albums (Lost in Love, The One That You Love, Now & Forever) and the 1983Greatest Hits collection and achieved multi-million radio plays for five of their hits, including “Sweet Dreams” and the Jim Steinman-penned “Making Love Out of Nothing At All.” In 2010,the year Air Supply released their last studio album Mumbo Jumbo, Graham was honored with a BMI Million-Air Certificate recognizing three million performances of “All Out of Love.” “When it comes to our longevity, it’s sometimes hard to think about it, but Russell and I do often, usually while we’re traveling between cities,” says Graham. “You can never imagine being in a band or being an artist for that long, so it’s not easy to wrap your thoughts around it. When we started having some success, we thought we’d be around for a few years. Then as the years roll by, all of a sudden we’re at a half century since we met and people still enjoy hearing our songs and seeing us perform them. “If I could pinpoint the reason, ”he adds,“ it’s because our music has never really been in style but it also never goes out of style. We’ve never followed any trends or been fashionable, but heartfelt love songs always seem to endure. And beyond simply making great records, we love hearing from fans around the world, particularly after our shows, saying things like, ‘God you have no idea what this song means to me or how it saved me from this or that. ’Having been a 

songwriter for over 64 years now, it’s particularly gratifying to hear that those songs I’ve written still resonate like that. ”The release of the album comes seven months after Graham and Russell celebrated a half century since meeting as chorus members of the Australian touring company of Jesus Christ Superstar in a most extraordinary way–headlining a sold-out show at Carnegie Hall on their actual 50thanniversary date. The delirious fans in NYC lucky enough to attend their remarkable 5,560thshowat Carnegie Hall might not have been aware of just how rare a feat it was, considering how resistant the powers that be often are to having pop-rockers play in a venue dominated by classical performances. With this concert, Air Supply rightfully joined a rarefied list of rock greats to have played the hallowed Hall, including The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, Chicago, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Graham and Russell’s chief influences, The Beatles. This was a dream come true for the duo who both saw The Beatles perform in 1964 at different venues. While most of the duo’s albums have been produced by Graham, the singer/songwriter was delighted to work this time with Grammy-nominated Canadian producer Brian Howes, a two time Juno Award, Dove Award and multiple BMI Award winner whose star-studded career includes recordings by the rock bands Skillet, Puddle of Mudd, Nickelback, Hedley and Simple Plan and tracks by American Idol greats Daughtry and David Cook. A Matter of Time took a full two years to come together from inception to completed production for several reasons–Air Supply’s relentless ongoing 130 date U.S. and international annual tour schedule and Howes’ insistence, even in this digital age, that all of Graham and Russell’s vocals be recorded at his studio in Courtenay, Canada, an island off the coast of British Columbia, requiring several trips.
