Loverboy is a Canadian rock band formed in Calgary, Alberta in 1979. Their iconic hit singles, such as “Turn Me Loose” and “Working for the Weekend”, have solidified their place as arena rock staples, resonating across classic rock and hit radio stations in both Canada and the United States. Despite facing rejections from multiple American record labels, Loverboy eventually secured a deal with Columbia/CBS Records Canada, marking the beginning of their musical journey. The original lineup included lead vocalist Mike Reno (formerly known as Mike Rynoski from Moxy), guitarist Paul Dean (from Scrubbaloe Caine and Streetheart), keyboardist Doug Johnson, bassist Jim Clench (later replaced by Scott Smith after one performance), and drummer Matt Frenette. Over the course of the 1980s, Loverboy achieved remarkable success with a string of chart-topping tracks in their home country and abroad, earning them four multi-platinum albums and establishing them as one of the best-selling rock acts of the era. Despite a short hiatus between 1988 and 1991, the band has remained active in the music scene, consistently delighting fans with electrifying live performances. Currently headquartered in Vancouver, Loverboy continues to captivate audiences with their enduring music and vibrant stage presence.
