Restless Heart

Guest Artist

Country music group Restless Heart is celebrating over 25 years of perfecting the art of entertaining. The group came together in late 1983 as the by-product of a project by famed writer/producer Tim Dubois. He soon brought to the team fellow Oklahoman Scott Hendricks to co-produce and engineer a recording project which quickly lead to a record deal.  Restless Heart signed a recording contract with RCA Records in 1984.

With the release of their first album in 1985, the vocal style of Restless Heart became instantly identifiable - 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. They brought a new, contemporary sound to Nashville, a sound with a touch of pop - the sound which so strongly influences popular country acts of today like Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts and Little Big Town.

Gold became the standard for the group with the release of their self-titled album. Three more gold albums followed 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. The group also garnered a No. 1 cross-over hit as well as other cross-over successes. Among the group's enduring favorites are "That Rock Won't Roll," "Why Does It Have To Be (Wrong or Right)," and "Big Dreams in a Small Town."
