Loverboy

About

The artist

Loverboy is a Vancouver-based Canadian arena rock band formed after vocalist Mike Reno met guitarist Paul Dean in Calgary in 1979. The group relocated its early recording work to Vancouver and built a defining lineup with keyboardist Doug Johnson, drummer Matt Frenette, and bassist Scott Smith. Its current lineup retains Reno, Dean, Johnson, and Frenette, with Ken Sinnaeve on bass. Loverboy's self-titled 1980 debut, Get Lucky, Keep It Up, and Lovin' Every Minute of It established a catalog led by Turn Me Loose, Working for the Weekend, The Kid Is Hot Tonite, Hot Girls in Love, and Lovin' Every Minute of It. The official band biography documents continuing worldwide touring and the 2024 archival concert release Live In '82, restored by Paul Dean. The official 2026 site and current ticket listings document an active schedule, while current official member material places the band's keyboardist and home studio in the Vancouver area and current reporting identifies Vancouver as the Canadian home base of core members. The exact Spotify identity currently exposes 19 album and single containers: eight albums and 11 singles from July 1980 through June 2024. All 19 survive identity review. Representative releases include Loverboy, Get Lucky, Wildside, Unfinished Business, and Live In '82. The band's debut was produced by Bruce Fairbairn and engineered by Bob Rock, and later records also name outside production teams; those credits are preserved without classifying Loverboy itself as a producer or engineer. Loverboy won a record six JUNO Awards in 1982, entered the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2009, and has sold more than 10 million albums. Mike Reno and Paul Dean are members of the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame's 2026 class.
