Restless Heart comes to Nibroc

Times-Tribune Staff Report

Country music band Restless Heart will perform at Corbin’s Nibroc Festival this year on Saturday, Aug. 15.

Restless Heart came together in late 1983 as the by-product of a project by writer/producer Tim Dubois. He soon brought to the team fellow Oklahoman Scott Hendricks to co-produce and engineer the recording project, and in 1984, Restless Heart signed a recording contract with RCA Records.

Their first album, released in 1985, brought an intertwining five-part harmony led by Larry Stewart, with Dave Innis on keyboards, Greg Jennings on lead guitar, Paul Gregg on bass and drummer, John Dittrich.

The album went gold, followed by three more gold albums between 1986 and 1991.

With an additional six albums released through the years, Restless Heart put 26 hits on the country charts with six No. 1 hits and nine others in the Top Ten. They also had cross-over success, with six songs making the adult contemporary charts, including taking the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 spots.

After a brief hiatus, the spark was re-ignited, bringing all five original members together again in the new millennium and putting Restless Heart back on the road.

Their first real gig as a reunited group was the 2002 Operation Season’s Greetings Tour, an overseas military entertainment tour with the Air Force. They haven’t stopped touring since, averaging more than 100 shows per year, including an around-the-world military tour in 2007.

Last week, organizers announced the Marshall Tucker Band would perform at Nibroc on Friday, Aug. 14. Concert times for the two shows have not yet been announced.
