FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE APRIL 19, 2010 RIVER ROCK CASINO RESORT PRESENTS DARYL HALL & JOHN OATES LIVE AT THE RIVER ROCK SHOW THEATRE FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 Richmond, BC – Daryl Hall and John Oates started working together in the early 70’s and went on to become one of the most successful duos in rock history. Meeting in a freight elevator while escaping a riot at the Aldephi Ballroom in Philadelphia during the club’s legendary Battle of the Bands, Daryl and John would join forces to become the pioneers of Rock & Soul. With over 60 million albums sold, their rich repertoire has garnered a total of eight #1 hit singles along with dozens of hits throughout the past four decades including “Sara Smile,” “Rich Girl,” “Kiss On My List,” “Private Eyes,” “I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do),” “Maneater,” “One On One” and “Out Of Touch.” Their trademark sound can be heard in the harmonies of today’s young pop stars, in the return to radio of sophisticated R&B and even in the demographics of hip-hop and rap-rock fusion. In 1997, realizing the direction that the music industry was headed, Daryl and John released Marigold Sky on their own label. Taking a break to work on solo projects, they would not record and release new material until 2002’s critically acclaimed Do It for Love. The album’s title song went to #1 on the Billboard and R&R’s Adult Contemporary charts and remained there for four consecutive weeks. Their 2004 album, Our Kind Of Soul featured timeless classics as well as new material that they borrowed from their Philadelphia roots. In 2006, they released a Christmas album and just last October, Do What You Want, Be What You Are: The Music of Daryl Hall and John Oates ... the duo’s first ever box set was released. Currently Hall and Oates are embarking on their “Do What You Want, Be What You Are” tour which will include a performance at the River Rock Casino Resort in September.
