Cochrane, ESO reunite for Feb. 3 ball

By Sandra Sperounes, Edmonton JournaL, dec 20 2011

Twenty-two years ago, Tom Cochrane & Red Rider recorded a live album, The Symphony Sessions, with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. The Canadian rockers and the ESO - along with conductor George Blondheim - will take a trip down memory lane on Feb. 3 at the Shaw Conference Centre.
The gig is part of the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce's annual formal ball.
Tickets are available via edmontonchamber. com. The Symphony Sessions, which featured rock-estral renditions of White Hot and Boy Inside the Man, was recorded over two nights at the Jubilee Auditorium in 1989 - and turned out to be Cochrane's last al-bum with Red Rider. Two years later, he released his solo album, Mad Mad World, and rode his single, Life is a Highway, to stardom.
