Stonebolt was among the wave of talented bands from Canada to enjoy success internationally in the 1970s. The Vancouver-based band had a 10-year run and, during that time, released four albums and achieved a worldwide hit with the beautiful rock ballad I Will Still Love You.By the time they disbanded in 1983, they had toured the world, received GOLD albums, Grammy Award balloting and were presented with a SOCAN Airplay Award.
In 2000 they released a 'best of' CD, Regeneration, and decided after many years to do some reunion gigs. And there is a major concert coming up in the Vancouver, BC suburb of Richmond on Saturday, April 22nd at the Gateway Theatre, a wonderful venue that I've gone to many times.
I am very pleased to welcome David Wills, the lead singer of Stonebolt, in the studio as my guest this Sunday, April 16th. We'll talk about their career, personnel, their upcoming concert, and of course, their music. Oh and for sure, we'll play some of their songs, including their huge hit I Will Still Love You.
Please be sure to join me for this week's edition of Treasure Island Oldies, live Sunday, April 16th from 6 to 10 p.m. Pacific. If you are unable to hear the live show, you can listen to the Archive shortly after the live show ends. See you then!
