Rick Springfield, a native Australian, immigrated to the United States in the early 1970’s.  He was an established musician in Australia, but in order to support his musical habit in the US, he had to get another job.  This is when Rick became an actor and all the ladies were introduced to the beloved Dr. Noah Drake on TV’s General Hospital.  His musical career quickly picked up and his early albums placed him firmly in the era’s jangly pop/New Wave genre; often being compared to both Elvis Costello and Bruce Springsteen.  Rick began pumping out the albums and the accolades started flowing.  He has sold 25 million albums, has seventeen Top 40 Hits and a Grammy in 1981 for Best Male Rock Vocal for his #1 hit “Jessie’s Girl.”  The current tour is in support of his latest album, Songs for the End of the World.  Rick is still playing nearly 100 live shows per year.  “With Songs for the End of the World, Rick Springfield continues to do what he does best – applying his sardonic view to life as we live it today, offering a ray of hope in the midst of all the turmoil.”
