Air Supply Joins Australia's 'Prince of the Violin' Patrick Roberts on New Album  Image

On his new album, Australia's 'Prince of the Violin', Patrick Roberts pays tribute to the beloved music of soft rock legends Air Supply, alongside Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock of Air Supply and the Prague Symphony Orchestra.

All Out of Love reimagines Air Supply's timeless songs on classical violin - sometimes with orchestra, sometimes with piano, but always with an outpouring of emotion. Iconic hits 'Even the Nights Are Better', 'All Out of Love' and 'Making Love Out of Nothing at All', plus covers of beloved favourites 'Unchained Melody' and 'Without You' (made famous by Mariah Carey) make this an album packed full of beautiful new versions of classic tunes.


In 2018 Patrick was invited to record on Air Supply's new orchestral album alongside Tommy Emmanuel, Secret Garden, The Carpenters, Joshua Bell and many more. Following these sessions, Graham and Russell offered to appear on Patrick's next album, recording the serene, intimate versions of 'All Out of Love' and 'Lost in Love' that you hear on this record. Air Supply also invited Patrick to perform with them on their 2019 Australian Tour.

Formed in Australia in 1975 by Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock, Air Supply had a string of worldwide smash hits in the late 70s and early 80s. A string of singles reached the very top of the charts in America, Australia and Canada, establishing Air Supply as household names. The band were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2013.

Patrick Roberts has been entertaining audiences for over 25 years. Picking up the violin at the tender age of five, he has been classified as a true violin genius and has transformed some of the much-loved classics into contemporary masterpieces. Best known to audiences through his appearances on Carols By Candlelight and on Channel 7's Good Friday Appeal for the Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne. His recent album, Pink, debuted at #1 on the ARIA Classical chart.
