Two legendary rock bands – Little River Band and The Marshall Tucker Band - are coming to Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana’s Hard Rock Live venue for a double header on Friday, February 5, 2027. Doors open at 7 p.m.
Little River Band has built a remarkable legacy over more than five decades, earning a reputation for its distinctive harmonies, polished musicianship and enduring collection of hit songs. The band was once dubbed “the best singing band in the world” by Glenn Frey of the Eagles. During the 1970s and 1980s, Little River Band enjoyed tremendous chart success, releasing multiplatinum albums and a string of memorable hits. The group has sold more than 30 million albums and CDs worldwide and became the first band to achieve Top 10 hits for six consecutive years.
Little River Band’s extensive catalog includes such fan favorites as “Cool Change,” “Take It Easy on Me,” “Reminiscing,” “Help Is on Its Way,” “Lonesome Loser,” “Man on Your Mind,” “The Other Guy,” “The Night Owls,” “Lady” and “Happy Anniversary,” along with many other songs that have become staples of classic rock radio.
Today, Little River Band continues to bring those beloved songs to audiences with a high-energy live show that combines the sound fans remember with fresh energy and dynamic performances. Their signature harmonies, strong musicianship and familiar melodies make for a concert experience designed to get audiences singing along and moving to the music.
The current Little River Band lineup features Wayne Nelson on lead vocals and bass; Chris Marion on keyboards and vocals; Ryan Ricks on drums, percussion and vocals; Colin Whinnery on lead guitar and lead vocals; and Bruce Wallace on guitar and vocals.
Thanks to hits like “Can’t You See,” “Heard It in a Love Song,” “Fire on the Mountain,” and “24 Hours At a Time,” The Marshall Tucker Band, a 5x Gold, 3x Platinum-selling southern rock and country group has sold millions of albums worldwide. MTB songs have been featured in major motion picture films and television shows including Breaking Bad, Blow, The Box, Swing Vote, Half Nelson, My Name Is Earl, Cold Case Files and Good Guys with many more to come. CMT (Country Music Television) named the MTB’s “Can’t You See” the #4 Greatest Southern Rock Song.
