When RCA Records signed Robert Ellis Orrall in 1980 he had his dream band: Kook Lawry on guitar, Don Walden on bass and David Stefanelli on the drums. 44 years later they are back on the road and in the studio. Part of a New Wave of Boston artists that included The Stompers, Jon Butcher Axis, Til Tuesday and The Neighborhoods, REO rocked legendary venues like The Rat, The Paradise and The Orpheum Theater. The band’s critically acclaimed albums, "Fixation", "Contain Yourself", and "Special Pain" were recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales with producer Roger Bechirian (Elvis Costello, Squeeze), and supported with tours opening for U2, The Kinks, Psychedelic Furs and countless others. And their Top 40 smash hit with Carlene Carter “I Couldn’t Say No” still stands as an 80’s classic. When Robert moved to Nashville to write and produce (Taylor Swift, Reba McEntire, Lindsay Lohan), Kook, Don and David lent their talents to artists like Peter Wolf (J. Geils), Barry Goudreau & Brad Delp (Boston), Carlene Carter, Brian Maes, Nick Lowe and many more. Robert Ellis Orrall has had over 350 songs (and five #1 songs) cut around the world and soundtracked in TV and movies llke “The Bourne Identity”, “Hannah Montana” and “Freaky Friday”. He produced tracks for Love and Theft, Cake Bake Betty and Taylor Swift’s 10X Platinum debut and followup EP. The band regrouped to reminisce, tour and record “467 Surf And Gun Club”, an album John Hiatt called “absolutely joyful”, Michael McDonald called “relevant and timeless’, and said American Songwriter “The melodies, counter melodies, and killer performances constitute a unique blend of ‘60s-pop-meets-modernindie songwriting.” The band is touring from now to forever, playing songs from all of their albums and albums to come, listed below. The old cliche “Let’s get the band back together” has come to life with these four best friends playing their best music
